Guinness Top 50 Games of All Time, 9-1
Mar 6th 2009 2:43AM (Joystiq)First Date Hints: Subtle Signals and What They Mean
Jan 31st 2009 8:25AM (Personal Articles)I recently met somebody, and she is constantly on my mind. Her smile, which is a gorgeous combination of her eyes and lips working together, makes me feels good. I actually met her online. I own a DJ company, and most of the time I am working in bars, so in order for me to actually meet somebody genuine, I generally try to do it that way, although I have never actually gone through with it.
I have been unattached for 7 years, mainly because I always end up with the wrong women. Common examples would be that after a few dates, I find out that she is sleeping around, or lied to me about something, which is not a way to build faith. Please, before anybody makes a comment on this, I will assure you that my information does not come from some 'friend' or the woman or myself, and is truthful in every way.
Anyway, so I am new to truly thinking there might be a chance at something here, and I don't know what to do about it. As I stated, I met her offline, and she came up to one of my DJ gigs. We did not talk all that much because I was on the job, and she brought some friends to be safe in case I turned out to be a creep(which was a smart move) and to keep her busy when I was manning the stage. She spent the whole time texting with me, except when I talked to her, and she told me afterwards that she liked me.
Last night, we had plans to go to dinner. I suggested that we cancel the plans because I knew she had a very busy day, and I did not think she should have to rush herself for me. She insisted we go ahead with the plans, even though we both knew they would be short, and she would have to leave. At dinner, neither of us ate very much because we were both engaged in conversations about us, including some slightly personal details, which I doubt you bring up on a date with somebody that you are not comfortable yet.
Our eye contact was flawless during the whole time, and I just felt like we were really connecting. At this point, she was already late to her other engagement(It was a birthday party for a family member that she insisted she could not be late for), and yet she waited in the restaurant for the bill to be dealt with so I could walk her to her car, and she stood outside the car in the freezing cold to talk to me even longer. She was not warming her car, and it was as if the cold temperatures did not exist.
Now I am wondering if the date went well. The signals were there, the motions went perfectly, and she made herself late just to spend a few more minutes with me. The hug goodbye was awkward, and that is what is concerning me. I know my leather jacket was freezing, which is what she shuttered at, but I am wondering if I did something wrong. Was I supposed to kiss her? I really like her, and I don't want to make her uncomfortable. Part of my thought that was why she waited, and part of me is lost and confused.
Do you think it went well? Please don't tell me to sleep with her and move on, either. That's not the answer I am interested in. I am not trying to scare her off.
Thank you. I know this comment was pretty long, and if you actually read the whole thing, I appreciate it.
