Need First Date Advice!

So, the date went well and she was nice and cool to talk to. But I wasn't very physically attracted to her. For a runner she's not as skinny as I expected. Lame result. I'll probably necro this thread next week for my next date. I also drank too much. She drank maybe 4, I drank 10. I sort of thought I could drink til I thought she was attractive, but it failed. I know you're all disappointed in me.

There's really only one possible solution to this problem (and I promise to lay off For-Boogle.jpg for the rest of this week):

I am crying with laughter right now. Simply brilliant.

same here... i needed a good laugh and this landed squarely on my funny bone.

As for help... it's already been said. try and relax, be yourself and if thats not good enough for her then too bad.

Did you even try to get her to wear the bus costume?

I saw the thread title and thought "CF is going to win this thread in one sentence."

If it were possible to bet money on a such a thing I would be angry at myself for not doing so.

He's like that in person, too.

The leg humping isn't as endearing as you might think, though.

Lies! It's exactly as endearing as it sounds!

Butt stubble: a blight on love seekers the world over.

Well, you're 23 right?, that's what you people do. Good luck next date.

Wait, what the f*ck. You drank 10... what, exactly?

I went on a first date last night that was two beers, a pizza and a lot of laughing and conversation. If you guys are quiet enough that you can drink 4 drinks, get the f*ck out. Save your cash.

I guess we need to take the casual off the tag.

I couldn't possibly think less of you.

Was that your opening line? "You're really fat for a runner!"

That would have been epic.

So you run away from veggies to complex carbs?

Wait, maybe she was a gun runner. It helps her smuggle illicit arms.

Nothing like sarcastically sitting in judgement of someone for sitting in judgement of someone else. Well done, Sally. I'm sure you'll get a non-defensive, reasonable reply.

*Nevermind. Not worth the time the conversation will take.

Bummer on the disappointing date casual.

At 23 he has no reason to settle. You need to be attracted to someone physically in a relationship.

Personally I prefer setting a date up at a coffee shop rather than a bar. I'd rather have both of us clear headed when we get to know each other. I also just don't like bars.

I just got on OKCupid a week or two ago and I prefer it to other sites I've tried. The questions feature really allows you to screen for some of those mandatory things you want in a relationship, dating, or even friends. Very mechanical, but effective. I've got two dates set up already. One tomorrow, and one on Saturday.

VERY MEAN THINGS AND SARCASM AND GENERAL ANGST

Folks, I left you with Brazilians and this is what I come back to? Let's get this back on track.

Can you specify bush shape and density? These are vital matchmaking parameters! Daddy needs his landing strip!

Spoiler:

I really should run for public office just to see the kind of smear campaigns my opponents could craft with the ammo I leave laying around.

I would still vote for you.

Indeed.

There are many kinds of bars, you just need to find one you like. It's good to know a few, so you can continue hanging out with the girl after the initial "first date interview"...

...cause soon you'll be married and see what a couple of maternity leaves of absence do to the body. That and middle age.

If you're actually interested in a second date, find someplace you can talk a bit easier. And don't just do dinner or whatever... try to find something fun as well. You're in Manhattan so I know there are a bunch of climbing walls. Assuming neither of you are terrified of heights, why not coffee followed by some climbing? Alternately, a walk in the park could be fun if you think she won't worry you're a weirdo aiming to waylay her in the bushes or something. Either way, she's a runner so you should be pretty safe choosing something moderately active to do, and that in turn provides both stuff to talk about and allows for moments where you can not be talking without awkward lulls in the conversation.
