So I offered to cook for a girl (our third date) at my apartment. I have the food all picked out and hopefully can cook it *crosses fingers* but I'm worried about becoming too boring too soon. I don't know, this is our third date and the only thing to do in this town is dinner and a movie. Anyway, I think we connect very well conversation wise (probably the best thing about her I adore) but as with any past psuedo-relationship I had I ended up analyzing too much and obsessing just to ruin it. As of right now I don't think it's ruined at all (she scheduled this date after all) I just need some "what to do on a date" advise. I'm pretty old fashioned (she seems to be) so I don't want to hear anything about sex before marriage. My roommate tries to give me advise but it's always "just have fun," and while discussing the inner workings of the cell phone industry or why downloadable digital media will trump both HD-DVD and BR would be fun - I'm wondering what would keep her from screaming and running to the hills :p

Any proper date behavior that we seem to forget? My counselor has already told me to work on eye contact blah blah so I know I need to do that. Oh sorry, I already discussed the inner workings of the cell industry with her o_O sigh, I'm impossible

Hmmmm, I don't know - I always seem to botch things up. Especially in the compliments department :/

Women like it when you compliment their eyes, the certainly don't like it when you make compliments about parts below their necks. Don't tell her she's cute, tell her she's beautiful. That's all the advice I can give.

Don't compliment her on her looks and don't make fake compliments... Make genuine remarks about what you appreciate about her other then every guy on the planet. You're kind of giving the impression you're acting needy, when I read your post. Just don't be anxious thats the big thing you don't have to impress her all the time.

Just wanted to say the date was smashing ;) She left saying that she wished we could do this more than only once a week. My class schedule doesn't allow for many meetings. I am only free on Thurs-Fri and she's only free on Fri and sat (though some of the time she's busy one of those two days). Wednesday classes are cancelled but she already has plans on going to a roller-rink with her friend :\ I need to think of something to do as she apparently stressed that we should get together more - and I really want to take action on that statement (or I feel as I should, should I?). Since the whole Asperger's entered my life I've been second guessing myself alot because I've looked back and previous relationships have ended because I've misunderstood simple things. Sigh, life is hard sometimes :/

Good luck on your new pursuit. Your new pursuit may not turn out the way you expected her to be.

yeah, I'm in college and I'm 21.

Haha, yeah I really need some luck. Most of my relationships (if I make it that far) end after we've made out (I know it really sounds like I'm a bad kisser or what have you, but I'm sure it's just that I get too obsessive after that stage). Oh, I mentioned we should do something Tuesday night and she agreed so I have that to look forward to.

I dunno about expectations, I like all my romances to start out as friendships so I knew her pretty well going into the first date. Though I almost know nothing of her in a romantic scenario so you may have a point. I'll keep it in mind :D
