TAC said:After, of course, the required 3 days have passed after the first date
Is there a 3 day requirement?
I must not be much of a Rules girl :lol:I agree that is seems like she was just nervous. I would say try again. If she accepts another date you at least know that she's interested.

yes she was probably nervous...but i think the least she could have done is tell you why she was bringing her sister...there's nothing wrong with protective parents, but at least you would have known ahead of time. you should give her a call and tell her how nice she looked and ask her if she enjoyed the movie. 
try another date and it sounds like you need to be patient maybe try buying tickets to a local ball game or something like that and tell her you have an extra ticket would she like to go?

You know it's a bad first date if you KNOW the movie was good.... *shakes head* (jk)
Did you do any of the simple gestures to get closer?
(bump elbows on the armrest? lean towards her? Yawn and slyly put your arm around her? (jk...never do it like that!))
Did she consider this a "date" or a "get together?" If she considered it a date and brought a friend along..that's a little odd. I understand why she met you there...her parents may not have liked the idea of her getting into the car of a young guy who they had never met. She may have had to go home right after the movie because her parents needed to work in the morning and didn't want to pick her up late.
I disagree with the 3 day rule. Granted, if you call her right away...you have a 50/50 shot of it going well. She may be interested in you and see that you're REALLY interested in her...or...she may think that you're desperate...or going to be "smothering." Going out this weekend may be out of the question if you don't call her today or tomorrow though...she may make plans. If I were to give you advice...I'd call her tomorrow afternoon. (2-3ish) and ask her if she has plans for Saturday night (parents usually won't have to work on Sunday...and you could meet her parents on Saturday).
I, like some others here, feel that she was even more nervous about this than you were! I have another question for you...Who asked who? If she asked you...you're golden...if you asked her...she's obviously attracted to you if she said yes in the first place.
Now that the movie is over and done with...maybe you could try the Olive Garden...I hear it's lovely :lookaroun but seriously...Mini-golf it! (Just keep your cool...don't need you goin' all "Happy Gilmore" on us )

I don't know how much you get into town, but some of my best early dates were heading down to the Riverfront in Cincinnati and strolling the Riverwalk down to the restaraunt, having a nice dinner, and taking a leisurally stroll back to the car. This gives you ample time to talk and get to know one another outside your usual setting.
It is funny how rare it is that I or my date, had taken the time to go downtown. There is usually a lot to do but people tend to stay in their comfort zones.
So, hit the French Quarter, grab a nice dinner, and stroll the area. Then on the next date, head over to O'Briens and get a couple of Hurricanes :lol:

Bri, I was just saying that as a typical "guy reference." It all depends on how things actually went, and how STR8FAN2005 feels about "that girl." If he wants to give it another shot with her, go for it. You're right, call her Friday afternoon and see if she has plans. Talk about the movie, etc. Maybe her parents will invite him over for hotdogs and hamburgers to meet him.
Erika, does that mean that you asked your husband out on a date ?
:wave:

If I were you...I'd stay clear of the lovely garlic breadsticks if you're planning on more than a hug. :lookaroun
Mini-golf is good. Just repeat after me: I will not fall down. I will not fall down. I will not fall down!!

The best part of minigolf is that guaranteed hole-in-one on the 18th at most courses. (Of course, you might want to make that one in 2 if you want to make her look good...or just make yourself look REALLY bad.)

Back in my day we were using baseball references. Hmmm....both seem to work:
Strikeout = bogie = Don't call us, we'll call you
1st Base = Par = Alright, after all the cash you dropped on me I at least owe you this
2nd Base = birdie = Two in the hand equals..... :lookaroun
3rd Base = eagle = I seem to have lost something in the ruff
Home run = Hole-in-one = :sohappy:
Grand slam = back nine =

:lol: No, actually, I thought we were "just friends" when we were first going out :lol:
But in general, the waiting 3 days thing is probably something I would not go for. Most of the guys I dated called me up the next day as a follow-up and I liked that, because it showed they were interested. Of course, there is a fine line between showing your interest and smothering the person. Each couple needs to find its own comfort zone.

Yeah, I still remember walking in nervous as hell. Shook hands and got an approval, then he went back to cooking. As I walked back out with my g/f I was like " Thats it?" :lol:
Don't sweat it. Just go on a second date and get to know her alittle more. If it is a parent trust issue. Most parents will get to know you better and ease up on the strict policy. I think you handled yourself pretty smooth!

As a slight thread drift, but somewhat related:
Regarding chick flicks - they are normally about the guy in love with the leading lady who is not interested in him. He will not take "no" for and answer and spends the film chasing his true love. When a woman watches such a tale she thinks the guy is cute.
Why is then in real life that if I try a similar course of action I get labelled a "stalker"?

I know this thread is primarily used to discuss first dates, strategies and the like, but how about an extention to ask for a date. . . .
Erica, if you are ever in the Cincinnati area, I would love to show you around. . .
Of course, you would have to wear one of the Princess Dresses . . .to entertain my daughters of course :lookaroun , but still, we'd make sure you see all the high points of the Queen City.
Oh, and are you a good cook?
