Hello everyone!

I wanted to ask for your opinion ... did my first date go well? Here are the details...

So I met "Meg" online (facebook) and we finally met face-to-face last night, after a few emails and phone calls.

I picked her up at her house. When she opened the door, she said "hi" quite excitedely, made pretty great eye contact, and gave me a hug. We proceeded to walk to my car and discussed options for where to go. We ended up going out for drinks and (pretty good) pub food at a cool/hip bar in town. In the car, we had good, lighthearted conversation ... no pauses.

So we get to the bar and keep talking in a lighthearted way, smiling and laughing. I tell her a couple stories of really bad dates and we end of laughing uncontrollably! I mixed it up with some other jokes as well. Other topics we talk about include her family, brother, my family, life in Madison, and so on....

So we end up at the bar for about 2 hours and decide to head home (it's a Sunday and it's getting late). We continue to talk in the car, and I share a couple stories of my previous summer interns ... more uncontrollable laughing...

So I drive her home and we get to her house and I say "would you like me to walk you to your door?". And she's like "sure!". So I walk her to the door and say "well i had a really good time, and she said "so did i", and she hugs me, but kind-of goes for a kiss somewhere between my cheek and neck. I then say "I'd love to go out again" and she was like "yeah, me too"...

So what does everyone think?

I'd rather love someone I can't have than have someone I can't love.

Why would you have to ask?

There's nothing in your story that would indicate it didn't.

Sounds like the only potentially negative thing was your awkward sounding first kiss attempt at the end of the evening. I had a very similar situation with a first date last week. We went out again this weekend at it was absolutely amazing.

Point is, sounds like everything went really well with a minor bump in the road at the end. Ask her out again.

If she said "no" it would've been confusing.. but she agreed to another date. So I'm left confused about why your confused, lol. If it's about the kiss, which I'm assuming, then that's typical, normal, and more than you should expect on a first meet. She kissed you! I won't kiss on a first meet, particularly on the lips. Just a thing of mine.. it tends to lose value when you're having multiple first dates (as you do with online dating). It's the first line of intimacy, so if she takes her time getting to it, appreciate it. Believe me, it will be completely worth it when she finally kisses mouth to mouth.

sounds just fine to me. but if you have to ask, maybe something is nagging at you? something you didn't put into words? but based on what you've said, sounds like a good date.

Sounds like you had a good date, why are you confused ? Did you have some expectations and they did not get fulfilled and made you confused ? Maybe you can elaborate more ?


When you call her today/tonight and set another date, let us know, so that we can all take a deep breath
