most boring date EVER. god, man...

[MascaraSnake]

Well as I said earlier, I'd met this girl elsewhere and gotten the digits. I found her number about a week later and we chatted mostly online before meeting up (she said she wasn't a fan of the phone). Online she was feisty and seemed to give back a lot of the barbs.

Anyway, I met up with her to see a play in downtown (for the record, it was a bad venue for ice-breaking; semi-expensive and I hardly got to talk to her at all between and before acts). Christ. Where did all the agression go? She was so flat I couldn't believe it was the same person. I'll give her this; she was pleasant. But pleasant isn't enough. I want Tracy and Hepburn chemistry.

I won't be calling her again though I did half-heartedly say I would. Made a quick but polite exit and now I'm wondering if people tend to 'give it back' more freely over IM. If that's the case, I'm sticking to the phone from now on.

She was shy ... you need to take control...

actually, going to a play was a bad idea for all the reasons you listed. Don't do things where you can't talk on the first date.

Yeah, I won't be making that mistake in the future...

a play? wtf dude...should of done something casual like coffee/lunch. You cant even talk during a play

A play is actually a good idea as long as its following coffee/lunch/dinner.

You need time to build rapport and get to talking first. I actually took a girl to a play once after dinner but I knew before dinner was finished that we were not going to click. I was going to leave her there actually, and just go to the play on my own but my AFC kicked in and I took her to the play and the night ended with a kiss, her promise to call me and her having a new boyfriend two weeks later.

Moral of the story: Don't take her to the play if dinner sucks.

It looks like my friend's opening set isn't for another few weeks (I got the impression it was sooner).

I'm not too wild about this anymore, but I might just leave her a message saying "concert is a no go until mid-may, hit me up if you want to get together sooner" and not call her again unless she's the one who does it first. I already have another date on Friday anyway (this one's hotter).

Why would you tell her "hit me up if you want to...", you put the ball in her court like a pansy. Stop acting like a wuss. If you want to see her, set things up with her yourself.

Er, I really don't; thought we covered that. I'm just trying to be polite.
