Have you met her parents yet? Remember, the reason many men choose dogs for companionship is they don't bring the in-laws over for dinner.

Good grief, RE, I just met her yesterday. Too early to meet the parents.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('WildRose', 'I') like dunewalker's suggestion of an outdoors date. It doesn't have to be really vigorous (like a hike), unless she's into that, of course. Even a good walk through a nice park or along a river bank? Then you could stop at a restaurant/lounge type of place (a little less formal) later in the evening (beating the Valentine's dinner rush).

Hubby and I had a great second date - a walk through a beautiful city park, late into the evening, plenty of good conversation sitting on a park bench, sharing our thoughts and experiences under the stars. It's still one of our favorite ways to spend time together.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('blukatzen', 'I')'ve been reading this thread along (date part) and I am most thrilled for you! I think the situation is she may be a little nervous.

Let's put yourself in her place, being a Katrina implant. She's maybe (outside of work) not met many folks she'd be willing to befriend or met a few jerk guys here and there, and has resolved herself to a similar fate as you'd described for yourself.

I think if she's a built a little bit of winter weight on her bones, then a steady diet of walking, and gardening can get that weight off steadily (which is how it should be done anyways.) Just focus on her beautiful face!

Keep it simple, keep it "friendly", like you'd treat a special friend from here, or a valued co-worker, and see where it takes you.

If it isn't a "love match", it may be the start of a nice friendship, why put limiters on it right off the start? Friends are good too, and you had commented that you'd had none there either.

In the meantime, we're here for you, walking alongside.

Good luck with your new friend!

Did she get nervous after you told her she was gorgeous?

Thanks Blu, you are so sweet.

Overall I think she's a poor match for me.

I tried to post some replies to some other posts, but they just disappeared. Are other people having that problem with the redesigned website?

Too tired and disconsolate to try to regenerate them.

Just know, guys, that I appreciate everything you say.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I') was disappointed overall because I'd been hoping, praying, for a stronger sense of connection.

Outdoors dates:

One of the best dating scenes I've ever enjoyed was in the Bay Area with the Sierra Club. The club organised friday night "Champagne hikes" just for singles every friday.

Every friday a group would meet at a trailhead, with packs carrying champagne bottles and champagne glasses (unbreakable lexan from REI, of course). We'd hike to a beautiful beach or an overlook and watch the ocean or the lights of San Francisco while doing a champagne taste test. After everybody was snoozled, we'd sober up while hiking back to the cars by headlamp and flashlight.

It was very easy to start a conversation ("here, try some of my Catalonian Champagne..") and easy to talk and to get to know people a little in a non-stressful setting when you are all sitting in a circle in on the ground drinking champagne after a nice hike.

Aahhhh....good times!

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Heineken', ' ') I did suggest to her that we "mall walk" on our next date, if there is one. (I hate malls, but there is one that's available nearby.)
