So I went on a date last night with a girl from Friendster.com. Her name is Lucy (Her real name isn't Lucinda). Since nothing exciting or funny happened on our date then this is just going to be a boring narrative of the night.
I picked her up at 8pm and then we were off to Palo Alto to watch Sylvia at the Aquarius Theater. We chit chatted on the way there about random stuff. She revealed that she is a rabid 49er fan. The type that is extremely derogatory towards all other football fans, especially Raider fans (of which I am one). That is definitely a quality that I can do without in a person that is going to spend any kind of time near me.
Then she scolded me for driving way too fast. I looked down at my speedometer and it said I was going 63 MPH, which was 2 MPH below the speed limit on the freeway. I pointed that out and she apologized. She said the car must make things feel faster. I guess on my next date I'll bring the krautmobile instead of the Vette. It seems that every time I have a girl in my car I get told to slow down even if I am going BELOW the speed limit.
We made it safely through the EPA. After parking the car and getting our movie tickets we decided to go for a stroll down University Ave. She wanted some coffee or a coffee derived product. I think the place we ended up going into was University Cafe.
We made it back to the theater with plenty of time to find a seat and the movie started. The movie was interesting but at the same time very slow paced. I guess you can't really make an exciting movie about the lives of two poets.
After the movie we went for a walk down University Ave again. We were looking for a quiet place to duck into. We walked all the way up University Ave but didn't really find anyplace so we headed back down the street. Then we turned off on one of the streets and ended up in front of Nola. There was this section in the front that was separated from the bar and they had a big plasma screen with ESPN on so Lucy wanted to go in there.
We walked in and sat down on a couch. The place was covered in some cool art an really had a New Orleans feel. We sat and talked (Lucy talked) and Lucy would apologize every once in a while for paying more attention to the TV than me. I didn't really mind, as it took attention away from the fact that I was being a retard who had nothing to say. Lucy pretty much drove the conversation and we talked about a lot of different things. We talked about films, art, music, day trips, her 10 year old daughter, my lack of verbal skillz...
I thought surely that this chick was not digging me. There were several awkward silences where she basically looked at me and said, "ok, it's your turn...say something" and I had nothing to say. I am such a retard. We stayed there on the couch until 1:15am. Then we decided to head over to the bar section and see if it was too late to get a drink. We ordered a couple of Scotches on the rocks and had to down them fast because they were closing.
We walked back outside and it was freezing. I am so glad I brought my thick coat. I should have brought my beanie and gloves also. We stopped at Pizza My Heart and got a couple of slices. We talked some more about mullets and getting drunk. Then I went pipi and we left.
I dropped her off at her place and she didn't ask me to walk her to the door or anything so I pretty much assumed that she wanted me to leave as soon as possible. I gave her a hug, with no kiss, and said goodbye. Then she said she really hoped that we could go out again. I was like WTF? I totally didn't see that one coming. I thought that it was the last time that she would want to kick it with retardo boy but I guess not. I told her maybe next time we could go to SFMOMA or 111 Minna.
So I don't know what's up. Maybe she is thinking that I would be the perfect wiener-less male buddy. I really hope not 'cause then I will have to let her know that we can't see each other ever again. No more female friends for me. None.
