1.) Referred to romance novels as "soft core porn" (this after he brought the topic up)
2.) Not gay, nor did he show me videos of him shooting pigs
3.) Suckiest first date kiss ever. The gay guy I dated kissed better.
4.) We both fidget horribly, were beleagered by long silences, and obviously both self-conscience and geeky
5.) Paid for dinner. (Macaroni Grill, I had the Chicken Canneloni. Very good.)
6.) He likes cats. And Terry Prachett.
7.) No spark.
8.) We attended the same Super Bowl party 2 years ago--and we don't remember each other at all. He does remember Holly (my friend), who also likes cats.
Tiff & Terr think I should go on a second date--to make sure I wasn't imagining my boredom and irritation, because I shouldn't discount positive aspects like, "not gay" and "employed" and "a pulse" as dating material.
Obviously my soft core porn has ruined me. I prefer 'spark' and good kisses.

You're just being picky. Gah! I didn't say marry him. I just said second date. You act like I've suggested you shackle yourself to Hannibal Lector or something.
Where is your sense of adventure?
I second ter's comment.
You need to do a second date..you sound like you were both too nervous to enjoy yourselves outside the awkward silences!
DO IT DO IT DO IT! Not that IT..just go no a second date..it can't hurt any...
Any seriously just for fun...I'd give him a book by Anais Nin...
Just for fun! LOL
i say go on a second date. you might as well...
and if it makes you feel any better, my boyfriend refers to romance novels as "literary porn." though he's yet to read one.... ;)
--and the chicken canneloni is amazing. its my favorite thing at macaroni grill...
Ever feel like you're outnumbered? LOL!
You realize of course that if our roles are ever reversed I plan on ignoring you in this situation...
Yes, but like you, I don't have to listen.
I *want* chemistry. I don't want to spend my time going, "God, I'm not going to have to kiss him later, am I?" Which is the current feeling. Which was pretty much the feeling even before the disasterous kiss.
I mean, Sin said it took her 2 years to realize she had a thing for Mattycakes...but I don't think I've got that kind of time to let it sneak up on me.
So sorry...no. I have other things to do with my Tuesdays, like write my soft core porn and become fabulously famous and modestly rich.
Shouldn't that be moderately famous and fabulously rich? That's the way I'd rather have it.
This is totally up to you of course, but in the future, no more complaining that you can't get a guy to ask you on a second date. You did it this time. At least you're making progress...
Right...okay, I'm amending whining statement to "I can't get a guy I'm ATTRACTED to to ask me on a second date." Sorry for the miscommunication.
I don't imagine I'll be fabulously rich. Moderately rich would still be better than I've got and more achieveable.
