Needless to say, we demand a full report ASAP.

That's why we said it

Well, I got down here yestersay with my friend and his girlfriend. She came out an hour later and we all had something to eat and went to a few different bars, and thne went to a frienss house (I didnt know this friend, though.) She wasnt too talkative, every time I tried to start a conversation she kind seemd to just back off, so I just let her alone for the most part.

My friend and his girlfriend had been arguing a bit, and by the time we got to this house they were having a full blown fight, screaming and yelling at each other. After about a half an hour of that, the girlfriend came storming out, got my stuff out of her car, abd she and my friend headed back to our home town 3 hour awaym stranding us both at this guys house. A guy she knew took us out to a bar, where I called my friend who I am staying with to ask to pick me up, and I explined teh situation. He didnt have a car, so I ended up staying at this gusy house that I didnt really know (later after I got to his house I realized I had been there before and had actually met him a few months ago). We stayed out for a few hours, and got along well enough, but she still didnt really seem very interested in talking to me. She ended up sitting next to me but I think that was just the way it ended up and not intentional.

On the phone before I headed down yesterday she had asked me if I wanted to go horseback riding today, but with my back I really couldnt, so I asked her if she wanted to do something else today but she said she was going to spend the day with her friend. We are supposed to go out to have dinner and see a movie tomorrow night, but Im not sure if she really wants too or is just being polite.


So, not really a good weekend. Im stuck here for a week and Im nto sure how Im getting home.


Great time.

Oof. Well, the next time you're on a bad date with a woman, you'll be able to say, "Man, at least this isn't as bad as that one date!" Chalk it up to an exceptionally rocky experience and keep trying - you're probably going to have some more crappo dates before you hone your mad dating skillz and find the one you click with, but that's the way it rolls, and eventually you may just find someone awesome.

Oh, and is Greyhound a get-home option for you?

 

[BOZ]

any experience counts - and hey, it probably wasn't anywhere near as bad as your projected worse case scenario was it?

get back on that horse and ride! i waited a whole year before asking another girl out after my first date, but being gunshy will get you nowhere!

maybe this girl had other reasons for seeming disinterested. if you get another chance to talk to her again, see if you can feel out where she's coming from. if she seems disinterested again, then your instincts were probably right. if she tells you she had a fight with her mom or a bad day at work or something she might give you another shot.

but if you were right the first time, just remember there are plenty of other fish in the sea! i found my lovely wife online, and she was not the first girl i met that way!

Well, we are still going out tueday night. Saturday was just hanging out since we were all down for a saturday night. My friend who lives down her and is pretty good friends with her said she was probably just in a really bad mood because she had a really bad night friday, and that I shouldnt worry. She even said herself she was in a really pissy mood. I mean, weve gotten along really well on the phone, and she had called me a few times.

So I dont know, Im hoping tuesday goes well.

 

[BOZ]

cool, good luck!

She was nervous on top of the bad mood. I wouldn't read too much into it. She was unsure of herself and didn't really want to let you know that. At least you are going out on Tuesday. Ideally, you would have asked if she could have gone to get grab a quick lunch of something today just to keep in her mind. But with it being 5pm on the east coast now, that's out of the picture.

Maybe just a call though could do wonders.

 

[Mycanid]

Surreal.

Part of my was giggling through your description and the other part was groaning "Oh NOOOO. No, no, no, no."

Well I hope the Tuesday thing works out better. Perhaps the two of you will come to look at it in a humorous light - a common reference point and whatnot.

Well, the good news is that I did ask her to have lunch today, but she had stuff to do today and didnt have time to take te bus downtonw for just a little bit. She had to cancel our plans for tonight because she found out she has to get up early tomorrow, but she said she doent have to do anything thursday and we reschudled for wednesday night. My friend im staying with is giving us a ride wednesday, and were going to just stay at his place that night.

So, my friend told me to stay optimistic, he has known her for years and is really good friends with her, and he said that if she wasnt interested she would just flat out tell me. I was really bummed out earlier when she cancelled, and considering the way the trip started it seemed like this was all just falling apart, but things seem to be working out, and Im trying to keep my spirits up.


So I hope to God this works out!

Well, the past is past. Ride what you have of your future, even if it's not with her.

It sounds like at least you're trying to keep your spirits up. Keep it up, we're rooting for you (even if some our comments are "teh funny").
