I am such a dork.

Yep. Just a big old dork.

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>

Al.

Why did you run away. Will you call him?
You left out MAJOR details

I am sorry, what ever your reason is. :frowning:

Now, alice, forgive yourself. You are not a whale’s penis. You’re taking it slow, like you’re supposed to.

So, where is the next date going to be?

I ran away because I panicked.

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.

I am SUCH a dork.

<sigh>

Next date?

Do you ask women who sprint away from you at top speed out on second dates?

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.

How else would I get a second date?

I didn’t realize you meant it literally. Sorry.

My sympathies. Hopefully this fellow will not judge you harshly until he finds out what happened. Will you talk to him soon?

I’ll talk to him tomorrow, assuming I make it to work through all this damn snow.

I think I’ll do like Genseric suggested and just play it cool - you know, act like it’s normal to bolt after a nice movie.

<sheesh>

Oh well, perhaps he didn’t notice. :stuck_out_tongue:

I like you, alice_i_w. :slight_smile: 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. :smiley:

Al.

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.

He doesn’t seem like a real weepy sort.

I was thinking I could bake him cookies.

Well, they say the fastest way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.

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. :wink:

Heeeeeeeeey!

Alright you guys - Who told?

Yer a redhead? Ok, drop this guy like a sack of potatoes and move to Texas! No snow here!

I hear that everything’s bigger in Texas…

/Genseric runs away.
