How does a SJ survive the first date?

Make sure there's no leak before you go through all the trouble of a full inflation.

 

If North61 has anything to do with where you are, make her a mooseburger.

 

Take mikey with you.

 

Tell her sports journalists do it like Boots.

 

Since you might actually be looking for a somewhat serious response (and on this board that's a mistake), here goes:

* Be honest yet approachable.
* Keep her interested and find common ground between the two of you.
* Make her laugh
* Leave her wanting more

If you can do those four things, you're virtually assured of a second date. All you've got to do is show her that you're someone worth getting to know. Your goal at this point should be just to get to date No. 2. If things progress too fast, you'll ruin it.

My advice is to pay attention to her. Laugh at her jokes (if you think they're funny) and talk about yourself when needed. Remember, your a SJ. If she asks why you got into it, be honest. But wait until date No. 5 to tell her how much it really actually sucks.

Good luck.

Oh, and smile. Girls like that.

 

That'll probably work. If she's only got two possible destinations, chances are, I'll be watching Boy Meets World by midnight, alone.

 

And you wouldn't want it any other way.

 

North, two suggestions: 1. Be yourself; 2. listen.

If you're not yourself and she likes you, then you have to be that other person all the time when you're around her.

As for the listen, women know when you're listening and when you're faking it. Besides, if you don't like listening to her, you're not meant for each other anyway.

 

End of thread. All this other shit is a bunch of mind games, and is just another way to prolong the inevitable.

 

I really like that show.

 

If you're coming here asking for real dating advice, you have no freaking hope. You're in the same boat as Mikey!

 

I like the listen advice. Saying little can get you a long way.
