I read MacRumors, I particually enjoy the community discussion. The other day I read about some guy who organised his dates my committee how sad is that!
Are you making fun of me?
Right now, I'm doing a bit of investigating. Right now, I'm looking through her Facebook notes to get an idea of what kind of music she likes. Thank god for iTunes.
Is that too weird?
I don't know if in today's age that is weird or not....but if you read all of that stuff what are you going to ask her in person
Stop researching her and ask her for the answers to your questions. Particularly if you're a shy guy you'll need something to get her rolling on so you can sit back and listen (mission accomplished
) so after the greetings are exchanged and you're comfortable ask her what kind of music she listens to, what types of pictures she likes to take, what her favorite hobbies are, clubs/events through school, etc.She could go on for hours and odds are you wouldn't mind listening for a while

Hmm. Makes sense to me.
Can't wait until she gets back to me. I'm gonna be checking my facebook every 2 minutes until I hear back from her.

Just remember that she can see your activity so don't stalk her page or anything that could be classified as "weird".
Here's my advice based on personal experience, take it or leave it
RELAX when you're with her. If that's going to be easier said than done then pretend - for now - that she's your sister or friend whom you have not spoken to for a long time, that way there shouldn't be any pressure to "impress" her.
Don't try to impress her, the harder you try the more noticeable it is. Act yourself and she'll be genuinely impressed (and if not then she may not be the right one).
Ask questions and let her do the talking. Listen to what she's saying but don't treat it like a class lecture and take "notes." Of course, you still have to listen and not daze off!
Strike a delicate balance between being "mysterious" and "open." You shouldn't tell her everything about yourself right away, she wants to find out - it's almost like a game or jigsaw puzzle. On the other hand, you shouldn't come off as secretive or untrusting.
Be honest and be yourself.
Good luck!

Sounds like you might be setting yourself up for heartbreak my friend. Oh well, I guess it has to happen to everyone a few times.
Don't forget the condoms, btw. And breath mints.
Are you making fun of me?
No, it was a little joke on how the discussion could turn out.
Seriously I wish you all the best. I'm still single and definitely in no position to make fun of anyone.
I think you're obsessing way too much about this.
I understand you want to make a good impression, but it really comes down to being YOURSELF. If you have to keep coming to this forum for tips, then the relationship is starting out a little weird.
Be yourself, and if she likes you, then it's genuine.
If she doesn't like you because you are being yourself, then it's better you know right away, and you have the chance to meet someone else.
If she likes you because you're implementing a lot of suggestions from people here, then THAT'S the dynamic she'll like, not the person YOU are.

Well, I was mainly trying to get some input so as not to do something stupid/creepy/wrong. But very good point, and I will be myself as much as possible.
dont try to impress her b/c then she'll be looking for that the whole time, and also dont spend bunches of money on her b/c then she'll also expect that all the time
Great.So far, so good!
- Now be yourself.
- Have fun.
- Pretend she is already your friend. Talk to her like a buddy.
- And don't worry if it works out okay. Relax.
ghall, you sick ass mo-fo, you'd better tap that before she goes around boning other guys.
Um, yeah. Thanks for the tip.
Depends on what you mean by talking. We have been in contact, through facebook. I have her cell number, but she gave it to me so I can call her if I have trouble finding her on Wednesday.
Right now, I'm doing a bit of investigating. Right now, I'm looking through her Facebook notes to get an idea of what kind of music she likes. Thank god for iTunes.
Is that too weird?
its not weird, but dont take the lazy way out to learning about her interests. your killing what 90% of the conversation should be about early on. dont miss out on those hours of conversation you could be winning her over in
I take it I should take out the "like" in that sentence.
Also, I'm a little shy to call her. Especially since I've never even met her in person before.
Also, how do you pronounce Elle? (that's her name, I belive it's French)
