UPDATE
I thought I'd close out this thread since many folks commented and provided feedback etc. So last night was date#2. Over the span of 10 days between date#1 and date#2 we exchanged approx 1-2 msgs per day which included just small talk, nothing heavy etc.
We met at the restaurant, their bar was full (my plan was just drinks), they also didn't have any booth seating (as was recommended here) but did have tables outdoors that overlooks a lake. She'd never been to this place before so she liked the view. We ordered our drinks. Then the waiter comes around for our food order. She picks up the menu quickly saying 'oh I haven't even looked at the menu yet but...I'll just have xyz' - I told the waiter to make that two. No big deal.
We talked and as usual I joked and teased her about various topics. I even told her 'she missed her chance to watch me cook because isn't it like porn for women to see a man in the kitchen. Too bad, I only make that offer once...' etc she said 'I know...that's ok, I'm ok with missing the chance...but watch me might eat my words later haha'. I asked her about what she's looking for in a man and she asked me what i'm looking for in a woman - it wasn't a heavy conversation at all because I kept inserting silly translations of what she meant etc so it was fun. She caught on and when I told her what I was looking for she teased me right back the same way.
2.5hrs later at 9:30pm we head back out, I walked her to her car. Then we kissed (not a long make out or anything, just a goodbye kiss). She's off to Europe again in a couple of days...she turned to her car and said 'ok, we can stay in touch until I leave for Europe and then I'll txt you when I get back and we can go from there'. I said 'OK, drive safe, goodnight'.
Then when I got home I texted:
Me: Did you get home safe?
Her: I did, enjoyed our conversation tonight, thank you
Me: Glad to hear it. I almost got pulled over.
Her: Were you trying to pop a wheelie to out do my law-breaking record?
Me: No they thought I was intoxicated...I told the officer I only had one kiss I swear
Her: oh ha haha haha
you're crazy.
Her: Goodnight lol
Me:
'night
