call me chicken.. i did not try Al's never fail kissy technique....
Friday night was blast, though! Met up with the group at about 11:30 pm after work. It's the start of Oktoberfest... lots of beer drinking, i guess. I've never participated in one before.... but this place was giving out free one liter steins. Now that's a very large amount of beer... especially for me since i'm a light wieght and not a beer drinker. I only drank about 3/4 of a liter... i knew to cut myself off so that i could enjoy the night without being too sloppy drunk.
It was still a bit awkward around MM... i'm normally a flirt with EVERYONE but with him there and knowing we have the date... flirting with everyone didn't feel right.. yet at the same time, hanging on him too much didn't feel right either... I was probably too casual around him, as he asked me later that night, "are we still on for the fair?" I said a definitive YES. I told my friend Minnie about the upcoming date but no one else.... i wanted her opinion about how casual i should behave... she gave me the good advice about NOT worrying about what others think.
I had a crazy night of dancing, though, from about 12 - 1am.. fun fun fun. MM even hugged me and was a little affectionate... I think i was a little shy being around a lot of people, ya know. Don't want people talking... After 2am, about the usual 6 of us went to a diner for breakfast. And afterwards, MM drove me back to my car.... hinted about wanting to "carry me" and i said, "i told ya i thought that was HOT, right?"... we laughed. I do find him sexy and yet he's not the young hottie that i used to... (yes, if he was, i'd be ALL over him already, big group or not.... ).
Saturday night was karaoke night with meetup and MM. I'm happy with the showing of 12 people. And about

Oooh. I could see how that could be awkward b4 a 1st date - seeing him in the group like that both nites b4. & shoot, REALLY awkward afterwards if the date doesnt go well or he doesnt ask you otu again.
I think its a great way to meet someone - the meet ups, but really, what DO you do if you end up not hitting it off. I dont mean "you" literally - b/c it sounds like you guys have hit it off & WILL even more soon ;)
I'm with ya! I am a firm believer in just grab him and plant one on him just to ease the tension! lol.. it helps I swear. Of course I'm single... so maybe this isn't such a great plan? LOL
Hey Loony,
I have to agree with Alison and TJ about the kissing.
I had to do that once. He was taking forever. We ended up having a long relationship.

You all are not going to be thrilled with this date report... and i thought i was going to start a new thread BUT since there still has been no kiss... i'm just going to add to this one...
Yes, you heard that right.. No Kiss. I felt kinda bad when i drove off. But he didn't go in for the kiss... nor did he motion for a hug. So, while a part of me thought, i should give him a hug goodbye or something (afterall he did pay for everything.. admission, rides, and food).. i felt no kiss was better than an awkward hug or forced kiss... i can feel the 8.5 sized feet being shoved up my ass already. lol.
We talked for HOURS.. we had no trouble talking about everything under the sun. I'm not sure there was steaming chemistry.... i find him very attractive. you all have seen the photo... but he's not forward. he gives off too much friend vibe.. wouldn't he have kissed me or something if i was "irresistable". Sure I'd go out with him again if he asks... we get along really great. BUT... (i get to that in a moment, i guess)
So.. here's the date report... i guess i'll start from the beginning. (it's long so i don't mind if ya skip over the lightgrey to get to the end part.. lol)
I met him on time..no hug or kiss nothing when i walked up to the
8.5 on its way...LOL BUT I dont think that you should have kissed him out of obligation for him paying for everything...thats a crap way of looking at a date. At least you had a good time and who knows where it will go. It doesnt have to all come together in 5 days or less right? ENjoy the attention without the other junk that goes along with it...relax and get yourself some cherry chapstick for next time!
Well darn! No kiss yet...but that's not so important yet. The fact that you both had a good time says a lot and that you talked a lot does too. What kind of things did you talk about? His past? Your past? Common interersts? It sounds like you had fun at the fair!
I can't tell you what to do because we all have our comfort zones.. but if it was me and I liked the guy and the date went well, I would call him and thank him again then suggest an afterwork bite to eat or a drink soon. Tell him you would like to treat him to an afterwork drink at a local place that you like. And then after a glass of "liquid courage" when you are at your cars just give him a hug...and let it linger a bit if it feels right. And brushing you cheek against him will not hurt either ;o)
