Hey fellas,
I'll try to make this story as brief as possible. Please bear with me.
So I went out to a local bar last Saturday night and saw a 9 sitting by herself at a booth (her three friends who were with her had just left the booth to get a drink). So I approach her and she invites me to sit down next to her after I introduce myself. We end up talking about this and that, turns out she goes to my university (I'm an undergrad and she's a grad student there). So she's a bit older than me, no big deal.
Turns out we have a lot to talk about and we end up talking for the next couple hours until closing time at the bar. I get the impression that she more intelligent than most (we have a conversation about books, apparently she reads a lot... and she's working on her PhD in neuroscience). After closing time, she invites me to grab some food with her friends (2 girl friends and 1 guy who's dating one of the girl friends), so I agree and we head over to the restaurant together. On the way over to the restaurant she cracks a joke about her being a cradle robber, which I laugh at. But she also tells me she thinks I'm not like other guys, that I'm delicate and she called me "unobtrusive". I hope what she meant was that I'm not threatening, and I'm guessing she meant it as a compliment. Anyway, at the restaurant her friends are monopolizing the conversation so I barely have a chance to get a word in, but the words I do get in leave an impression, and after the restaurant I got her number and called it a night.
Still with me? Thanks guys. So that was last Saturday, and I waited till the following Tuesday to call her. We played a little phone tag during the week but she called back and I talked to her on the phone yesterday for the first time. After a little small talk, I ask her out to dinner for tonight (Saturday night). So we have our first date tonight.
So here's where you come in. I'm wondering, what advice do you all have for a beginner at the dating game? I've skimmed through the DJ Bible and know about the basics: confidence, ****y & funny, kino, etc. I'm just going to be natural on the date and not worry about trying to impress her, and just keep the good conversation and playful energy at a high. Are there any common mistakes I should avoid? Should I avoid holding her hand / trying to kiss her on the first date? She seems conservative and seems to be the type that would want to move slowly, which is fine because I just wanna ride the good feelings and not worry about getting in her pants right away. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks guys!
