2nd date locked in! I was hoping for insight/input on phone convo.

My DJ skills on first date caused her to wreck her car!

LOL..well, not really..but kinda..I called her to set up second date and here's how it went..any comments/insights/suggestions would be most welcome.

Me:<cheerful, upbeat> Hey!What's up? How's your week going so far?

Her:<nervous, flustered> Uh..Hi! Good! How's yours going? Mines been kinda boring.

Me:<laugh> Oh yeah? My weeks going fine. I'm still alive..that's always a plus. Hey, you comin' out this weekend?

Her:<downtrodden,forlorn> I dont' know.

Me: You don't know?

Her:<halting, flustered [I'm starting to think something's wrong here]>My parents are going out of town and I have to watch the pets.

Me:<OMFG::rolls eyes>That's amazing! You watch the pets 24/7 around the clock and can't get out for a couple of hours? Wow.

Her:<whining>Well, they'll be gone for a whole week.

[[ At this point, I'm thinking..'Well, sh1t..this one's a lost cause.' Anyway...]]

Me:<I just lay it out>Hey..I can do Saturday evening or Sunday afternoon. What can you do?

Her:<serious>I think Sunday afternoon is better.

Me:<upbeat,cheerful>Great! I'll see you at <xxx> at 3:00. We'll have a couple of beers. You sound like you could use one, why are you so stressed?

Her:<a little more cheerful>That sounds good. Oh,I got in an accident after our date Sunday. I ran into another guy trying to get on the highway.

Me:<WTF???>Oh my god! Are you serious??

[[ She was serious! Anyway, we chatted a couple minutes longer and I once again confirmed the date. She sounded like was excited to go, but this convo is kinda hard to read. Why was she so flustered? She came across as very nervous and unsure of herself. Is this a good or bad thing? ]]

Anyway, so I'm tenatively locked in for a second date, but I'm guessing she'll use the 'pet excuse' to flake in some fashion.

Anybody else think so?

I think your gut is telling you right. Well done for getting the date confirmed, but don't be surprised if she flakes..

Can't leave the house because of the pets? All week??! Sure..

I dunno DJ, trying to find out more about this, I guess. Would she be interested in you going to her house? What kind of girl is she?

 

[DominicanDJ]

Just tell her," but I just want to see you this week and talk to you in person". From there she might tell you she's alone in her house, or any other stuff.

No. I don't think I'll be going to her house. I met her online and I've only seen her in person a total time of one hour. I really don't know what kind of girl she is except she's hot.

Why would she sound so flustered, stutter a lot, and seem unsure of herself?

I see this as either good or bad. She either doesn't like me and couldnt' be polite and say no, or she thinks I'm hot and just makes a fool of herself.

Or maybe she felt stupid for wrecking her car and was embarassed.

I just can't read this either way. I guess the proof will be if she bails on second date.

I'd make sure to ask her when and where would be more convinient for her, she can take it from there. I did this to a girl, ended up picking a nice and personal restaurant. A recent thread around here, you can view it. She choose the place, I know she's going to be comfortable there. Besides it's a really dark place
