DATE NIGHT RECAP:
What I went with:
1 spray TUTH to right neck
1 spray P74 to left neck
1 spray IShine 2X to center neck, 1 spray to top of head
2 drops A314 rubbed between wrists, then behind ears, then washed off from wrists
1 spray IH on each wrist
Self-Effects:
I was nervous on my way there, but shortly after picking her up, I gained confidence. I usually stutter over words with her and not make much sense, but I felt myself speaking very clearly and almost quietly. I was also much quicker with her than usual. My energy was rather high, as if I had a VERY good night’s rest, and I JUST finished drinking my first cup of coffee. I also noticed that for a very long time early on during the date, I had non-stop “sex voice.” (Deeper, slower, calmer).
Effects on Her:
More upbeat than she usually is. She would draw tangents and go on and on about her interests, and then apologize for being so dorky. She came across as more “human” than ever, and the conversation was very light. Her jokes weren’t as sharp as usual.
When we got to the restaurant, we were trying to pronounce all the Thai entrees. There was something called “Gong Dong.” I said it, she said, “say it again!” I said it again. Her response? “Stop talking about your dong!”
How the date went:
Early on, I thought it wasn’t going well. This morning, she asked to skip the movie b/c she ‘wasn’t feeling well and wanted to go to bed earlier tonight.’ Then, 5 minutes before I got there, she texts me saying that she needed to be at a thesis meeting at 8:30, thus making our date only 90 minutes long.
First of all, this girl had on makeup, and pretty sure she had her hair done. She NEVER does makeup and hair. She looked beautiful (as per usual). I know that she was fully aware that it was a date. She even asked if she “won points” after I laughed heartily at one of her jokes. She laughed at a lot of my jokes. Unlike past encounters, never once did I feel friendzoned.
I felt as if in the car there were some long pauses, but during dinner, the conversation flowed the entire night. The night started date-y, but the conversation got rather friendly and warm, as if we knew each other for a long time.
At about 8:25, I reminded her about her meeting, and she forgot about it. So we sort of rushed to get out of there. We did, however, do the whole “fight for who pays the bill” schtick. She told me she wasn’t going to let me pay for her dinner, I told her she’ll get next time, eventually I won out, but in her face, I could almost SEE her think, “YES! THIS IS A DATE!”
What went BAD was there was NO physical contact. Zero. Zip. For the type of girl she is, this may be a VERY OK thing. She was in a rush, but when I dropped her off right in front of her door, she pretty much RAN out and said, “THANKS FOR THE MEAL BYE!” I was telling her, “HEY, NEXT THURSDAY THERE IS THIS THING, JOIN ME…” She just replied, “yeah sure,” but I doubt she knew what I was talking about.
Usually after first dates that didn’t go well, I sense it. Right away. I leave the girls apartment or house FEELING as if it didn’t go as planned. I left her dorm feeling rather positively, as if I succeeded. Then, as the night went on, I started questioning myself. “Perhaps she is meeting another guy and that’s why she prettied herself up and had to leave at 8:30?” These are the sort of thoughts that go to my head.
I’m not going to talk to her at all. Usually, I send a “hey, I had a lot of fun tonight, I hope you did too” text, but I feel as if it’s OBVIOUS that we both enjoyed each other quite a lot. Dare I say, I felt like I was hanging out with one of my best friends that I haven’t seen in a long time. This may have been the best connection I have ever felt with her in person. Now, I worry that, in her mind, this registers as, “he’s a great guy, one of my best guy friends,” or “GOD I hope he asks me on a second date.” I’m also worried that she puts a lot of weight in “I didn’t feel sparks.” Frankly, I didn’t feel sparks, BUT I felt in the presence of a lady that I value greatly and would love to enjoy intimacy with.
On Sunday, I’m going to send her a link to next Thursday’s date idea, and just say, “wanna be my date?”
REALLY loved the Phero mix! I also put on 2 sprays of Narcisco Rodriguez cologne to my chest.
