How do people date? God, it's so awkward. I'd rather know someone for a while first.

This didn't go as humorously bad as Mr. Smooth, but it's not like I'm dying for a second date. He's ok. Maybe I'd like hanging out with him, I haven't decided. But I really don't feel like getting involved with anybody. I probably gave off the totally wrong impression by wearing a skirt (with my sunburn, it's the only thing I can comfortably wear). If nothing else, it was a free dinner.

In other news, go Butler!

I'd probably think letting someone take you on a date (instead of say, dinner as friends) and letting him pay is way more likely to give him the wrong idea when you don't really want to date than a skirt would. D: I mean I guess it could depend on the skirt, but...

I mean if you're really not looking, you could have been upfront about that- friends are always nice to have, but boys following you around hoping to get something you're not that willing to provide are kind of a pain. Though I guess it could be fun if that's what you like. I just think you're more likely to keep someone as a friend if you start a friend and not revise dating to friendship a few dates in.

I mean then again this guy doesn't sound like he was really worth the effort, so...

Well, I guess, when a guy asks "hey, wanna meet up?" my first instinct is not usually "date". I'm not very practised at this sort of thing.

Oh, yeah, that sounds... I don't know. I think it becomes a date when you let one person pay? But I guess social interactions are all sort of nebulous anyway.

Unless you run into the sort of guy who insists that guys always pay, endstop. I knew a guy like that in high school... if girls hung out with him, even if it was clearly established friendship, he paid for their food. He didn't care how much you argued. And in the end we kind of gave in because he was rich and spoiled and it was no skin off our nose.

I will add my completely irrelevant 2 cents of I don't think I'd be able to let a guy pay for my meal--not a judgment call, just a me thing. Hence, I'd probably confuse guys in the opposite direction. ::shrugs:: "Wanna meet up" is ambiguous, but does anybody actually *say* "wanna go on a date"? I don't know.

But yeah, dating is weird. I've always thought our culture does things the wrong way around. Wouldn't it make more sense to get to know somebody, *then* date?

I had a friend like that in high school too. Drove me batty

I don't like dating too. :(
But then I've only been on one date yet.

[link] [reply]

Yeah, I'm not so much into the dating thing either. "So... What do you do?" URGH just get me out of here!
