I'd like to apologize in advance for this long post, but I think all of it is relevant.
I "met" this girl on a personals site about 6 weeks ago. For the record, we have a fair age difference (She's 23, I'm 40). Ya, I know, hit me with the stereotypical mid-life crisis bat! lol Anyway's, she's a university student working on a master's, so I figure she's intelligent and at least reasonably mature. We eMailed about twice, then chatted a bit on MSN. I practiced my new C&F skills on her at that time, including some sexual innuendo around the theme of doing dishes. She loved it (she told me I was funny). A few days later, she eMails me her phone number (I never asked for it), asking me to call her. I waited 3 days, then called. We talked about 15 minutes, and I set up a coffee date for Sunday night. She was going to Quebec City with friends on Saturday, and was due back Sunday afternoon. So I told her to call me when she got home. I never got the call. At 7PM (our date was for 8PM), I called her, got her answering machine, so I left her a message asking her to call back and tell me what's up. She called back Monday evening to tell me that her friends had only gotten back at 11PM. So I tell her that I understand, and that the only other time I had available that week was tonight. She already had something, so we set it up for Tuesday of the following week, my next free slot (which was the truth, isn't life just peachy sometimes).
So we meet at the coffee shop. Conversation was mostly smooth and interesting. Then we went strolling around town aimlessly, talking, with me teasing her lightly (I'm just starting to get comfortable with doing C&F live). She was actually helping me out with the teasing, poking fun at herself.
