On Casual Dating Experiences:

All right, when someone offers to make a night "special" for you, it does NOT mean that they should attempt to seduce you on the first night with a bottle of wine, and feed you grapes, strawberries, raspberries, fudge, and give you sloppy kisses until you stay their hand because you can't... take... any... more... of... their... tounge. (EURGH!!!!!!! Being ten years my senior, you'd think he'd have learned how to kiss by now.)

It also does not mean that if you suggest dinner (as was the original plan) they should look alternately bored and annoyed between lulls in conversation. Also, it would be nice if they actually initiated conversation.

I would add, that if you do not call off the date early at that point you ought to. The other party intends to get you laid. And if you actually let them past second base, they might actually get what they want.

I didn't. I couldn't tell near the end if I was a charity case or an ungrateful date for walking out.

Snippets of my night:

"Crazy idea- why don't you spend the night?"
"Ah... I don't really think I should."
*kiss* "So let me pick the time."
"Sure."
"4 '0-clock"
"That... actually... kinda works for me."

"I'm doing all of this for you."
"Well, I came over to hang out, not make out."
"That's okay, we don't have to do anything you don't want to."

(later)
*he makes a play for second base*
"Okay, I think I'd better go."
"Where are you going? Come, sit down. Sit, sit..."
"I really think I'd better be going."
"So early? It's not even midnight... I'm doing all this for you."
"I know, but.. I just... I can't. Do you still want to spend time tomorrow?"
"Not if you're walking out before four."
