duke - listen to Chundles. You need to relax. I know you're all excited, and that's cool, but a good way to bolo this whole thing is to act too eager, which can easily come across as being desperate. Sounds to me that she's at least interested, so kick back and let her make the next move.
 
My only advice has always been stay calm and be your self. Dating a Marine gal is much like dating a Hockey chick though. You have to be careful because these chicks have a set of balls and don't always like being treated like the girl. Its a weird thing, they like to prove that you aren't better then them and that you are equals (and sometimes she's better :p). You kind of need to let them have their way more often then you would like.

I have been dating a hockey chick for 3 years, and this women LOVES to fight with me to try and prove she's the boss. If I loose, I often just remind her that I am bigger then her and then we get ice cream (I am 22, and the ice cream thing still solves everything :p ).

Anyways, just remember to let her do her own thing, don't burst her personal space unless invited, and stay calm. :)
 
well crap. I called her an hit her voicemail. Asked if she wanted to set aside a night this weekend to hang out.

Why do I feel she screened by call lol. Man I'm a pessimist

Dukey- calm down. Seriously. :) Maybe she was indisposed. What if she was taking a dump when you called? Would you really have wanted her to answer the phone then? ;)

Girls don't poop Lee. At least, I'd like to think they don't. If they do, I'm sure its all sparkly and rainbow-y.
 
Oh they poop. I've had female roommates. They poop for sure, especially noticeable after they've had a late night out drinking. :)

Drinking poops are the worst. :mad: You eat so many things that you dont even remember eating.

But no, they don't poop, and I won't hear any more on the subject. :)

Yes they do. Back when I worked at a grocery store when I was in high school, I had to clean the bathrooms. The women's bathroom was always much worse than the men's. Talk about explosive diarrhea!
 
They don't poop among other things until they are married.

As they say, love is blind but marriage is a real eye opener. :)

Haha so true. My girlfriend texts me she's pooping just to gross me out. She's lucky I love her and want to marry her anyhow. I guess its good to be prepared now.

As far as i'm concerned though, girls don't poop and all of you need to be quiet! :eek:

Texting about it and being there are two different things. :p

I forget the comedian who said this. But it went something like this. "You know you are married when you are brushing your teeth in the morning and your wife comes into the bathroom, sits down on the pot, and lets one rip. That my friends, is when you know you are married."
 
TMI!

Duke, my only advice is to pick a better restaurant than Olive Garden. Go somewhere with atmosphere, not a chain restaurant. Gotta be some good eats in your parts of NY besides Olive Garden. Good luck...

Yeah a non-chain restaurant would be better. Zagat has free 14 day trial.
 
Why Olive Garden? Is The Sizzler too far away?

Is Sizzler even still in business?? :confused:
I'm not sure what I'd do if a guy that I was thinking I might be into took me to a date at The Sizzler :p
Olive Garden isn't that bad if you've been together for awhile, but surely there's a nice quiet little place that would work better for a second date.
 
Duke, I'm glad you're excited about this girl (and I hope the state of NY looks a bit better to you now). ;)

As others have said, take it easy... and don't take her to any restaurant where the serving staff has plastic name tags.

Best of luck!

Do the Royalty dinner:

Dinner at Burger King, desert at Dairy Queen!

A general rule of thumb I give people who like to analyze things... only analyze what others say to the same extent that they thought it out beforehand. Hopefully that made sense... :cool:

Try to find a Biaggi's. Italian stuff that smells great, has a nice cozy, up-scale atmosphere, and won't break the bank.

Personally, I'd say Spago, but then again that's just me...
 
So, Duke, when you show up around here, how about an update?

well i had called her last night

2 hrs or so later, she calls me back saying she was at dance practice

we then actually go hang out again and we are out till 2 am.....remember we both wake up super early. I wake up at 5 for work and it was a 30 min drive back to my place....boy was i tired today lol

after we hung out she texts me as im driving

Thanks 4 taking me out tonite. u totally made my day so much better:)

a couple texts later and i gets ballsy and say "well what would you say if i think we should date?"

she replies
i think that would be a lot of fun. ive had a great time hanging out with u

yea i think i took a major chance (that i instantly regretted once i sent it) but i think she is open to it
