I'm in the unusual situation (for me) of preparing for a second date with a really cute, smart girl (who is in my major) after the first date actually went excellently. I realized that I shouldn't plan out my dates as much as I have in the past, after having success with this totally off-the-cuff first date method: At two in the afternoon on Friday I called her and asked her to come over and cook dinner with me. We cooked dinner for my whole house (six college students, guys and girls), chatted with everybody over dinner for about 2.5 hours, went for a walk, i made a move and we made out for the first time in the park, came back, danced for a while with my friends to country music, made out some more, and then I took her home. Zero cost and very fun - basically a perfect first date by my standards. She seemed super happy too, and basically expressed the obvious upon parting with a "so I guess we might do this again sometime?"
So she's going to be gone until Monday night, which is labor day. I'm wondering if I should call her to hang out that night, or wait. Of course I'm not going to call her the next day or the day after that, but I think I need to keep up the momentum and call her at least by Tuesday, if not Monday.
And secondly, what should I do with her... I have a semi-public living situation (public livingroom anyway) but I guess I could still do a movie-on-the-couch second date. After being so informal on the first one though, I feel like I might want to class it up a bit somehow. But I'm obviously not cheap or anything, so I don't have to worry too much about needing to spend money on her.
I guess this is the point where everybody chimes in with the "keep doing what you're doing, don't get oneitis, stay cool, don't get all lovey-dovey" reminders - I'll keep those in mind. But this is definitely LTR material, probably the coolest girl I've ever (successfully) dated.
