Went on my date. Saw the movie. And when it was over, I…
ran away.
Ok, see yah, bye, as I’m sprinting for my car.
Why, you ask? Was my date a dud? A crazed stalker? Boring beyond belief? Loser, with a capital L?
Nope. No. Nay. Nada.
I had a really nice time, and then I ran away.
I am a dork. [sub]That’s a whale’s penis, for those of you that don’t know - I do know, so there’s no need to point it out, for those of you who do. That’s just about how clever I feel right now.[/sub]
<sigh>
I see him everyday at work - we’re friends, and I think maybe I didn’t know if this was a date, or if we were just hanging out, and rather than sticking around to find out, I ran away.
Just play it cool, and act like nothing weird at all happened. Tell him you had a good time, and you should get together again in the future(if you want that is).
Of course, taking dating advice from me might be the worst mistake you could ever make. So, it’s just an idea.
I like you, alice_i_w. On the boards, you host naked, oily, body-painting parties (with bunnies). In real life, you panic and run away. I’m not making fun of ya. It’s just that you remind me of me.
I don’t have any good advice for you, 'cause I guess I’m a big ole whale schlong, too.
(But if I were gonna guess what a non-dork would say, he’d say that maybe you ought to talk to the guy? Ask him how he feels?)
Just, if you get the opportunity to do it again, hang around a little. If he calls you out on it, just say that time of the month was starting and you had to get home fast. I can almost guarantee he’ll never mention it again.
Ah yes. Two hallmarks of a dork. On-line nudity, and real life panic.
Yer on crack, right? I mean, I sprinted away from him after a movie. Short of slipping into a coma, what possible escape route would I have that would be sufficient in an “Asking how he feels.” kind of situation?!?!
As to this:

Um, yah. I don’t think I’ll do that, but thanks all the same.
Ok, if he calls you out on it, just tell him, that you were nervous and you panicked.
Not to generalize {which is exactly what I’m about to do}, but typically guys are pretty oblivious about stuff like this. Hell, he might have been nervous about it, too, and wondering what he should do “Should I kiss her?”, etc. You may have done him a favor, sort of. Then again he might be at home weeping.
Don’t sweat it, a_i_w, If he’s a decent guy, he’ll understand that you were nervous after a fun date and cut you some slack. If he won’t, well, he’s prolly not worth dating anyway. I have it on good authority that you are that most elusive of creatures, a red headed Canadian. Those are ALWAYS worth persuing.
