Post Date Update:
If it is any indication it is now midnight, and the movie I went to see with Ashley was over around 11:20. I'm back at home.
Needless to say, not a good date. Definitely not the chemistry we had on saturday night, but maybe the lack of drinks was a large factor to that. We went to go see the new Adam Sandler movie, which was fine I guess, but he has fallen into the realm of another standard romantic comedy guy and lack the cutting edge that he had in his early career. Movie starts at 9:30 (she picked the late show, I should have pushed for the early one) so I get to her place around 9:00 as she asked. I figured since the theatre is really close to her that it wouldn't take long and we would spend a few minutes talking or something before hand. Not the case, as soon as she meets me at the front door we are off, she drives since she knows where we are going, and we get there in a matter 5 minutes. I already have the tickets purchased through moviefone, so there is no line (although I saw Dominique Wilkins at the theatre!!). We talked a little bit on the ride over, and she told me that she had to wake up early tomorrow (today) and get to work by 7:00. We get to the theatre and talk some more, but none of the conversations are coming very easily. I'm starting most of them and then she's giving me one sentence answers and letting them die.
Movie starts and she's quite through the whole thing, no jockeying for position, just watches the movie. When the movie ends she basically puts on her coat and is ready to leave. During the movie I tried moving around a bit to try to get some sort of contact or interaction at all to happen, but to no avail. So we head back to her car, I'm still trying to drum up conversation, but not getting any give and take. She mentions that she is beat. I'm thinking the evening is dead but that there is a slim chance that she will invite me up and then we can talk for real or something. Anything to get past this barrier that seems to have been there all night. No luck, as soon as we get out of the car she asks where my car is. It is nearby, and trying to berak down this fucking berlin wall I put my arm around her as we walk over to my car. With all this said and done I'm basically thinking date's over, it sucked, time to go home and never mention it again (don't get your hopes up for a comeback there isn't one). Out of the blue she asks me to call her when I get back from Savannah (tourney this weekend, gonna fucking win it!!) . . . ? ? ? huh? I just sat trough the worst date that I have ever been on (but I've got a pretty good track record) and she asks me if I will call her when I get back?? I don't really believe it, so I say "so I get to see you again" to which she giggles and says yes.
I'm still on the fence about the whole thing, it was a terrible date, but then again the first night I spent with her was great. I figured, based on how bad this date went, that I would never see her again and that is that. Part of me still believes that is the case, that her statement was more of a polite gesture than a genuine desire to see me again. But on the other hand, she VERY EASILY could have not said anything aside from good night. So I'm left in the middle. I really want to call her back and get to the bottom of this, but that certainly wouldn't help. Time gives you perspective, so the next day or so (and then the weekend) will tell me what to do. Any suggestions/heckling you guys have is more than welcome. At this point I think I will end up giving her a call, still somewhat in disbelief, and tell her that when I call her. Lay it out that I want to go on a date where we talk, or do something, not just sit and stare at a screen. We'll see if that stace holds up through the weekend.
Of course the hard thing will be making it through tomorrow. I'm giving quizzes all day, so I will have plenty of time to think, which is always bad. Once I leave for the SAV on saturday morning it will be all game time and the focus will be on.
The other thing that looms in the back of my mind is that I still can' definitevly say that this is the girl for me. Part of it is that I still don't know too much about her. There are things that are really cool and I think will make us click well and then there are things that I think will prevent us from connecting. Hopefully another date or phone call will help sort things out.
Well, since I am home, I might as well get to bed. Can't say I'm not disappointed with tonight, but who knows what the future will bring. Out.
