I suppose! I didn't do it as some stupid head game or power play, I was just out of a serious relationship just got home from travelling, I knew she was looking for something more serious then I was really in the right headspace for at that point in my life. In the end it was nice because we got to know each other slowly over a long period of time.

Long Chile was a silly place.

I was kinda interested in my wife, but she was quite the socialite, smoking hot, and got lots of attention. She was a runner for private attorneys and I worked in the court house so I saw her almost every day, as did every other guy in the building who followed her around like drooling neanderthals. Based on this info I knew she wasn't accustomed to being turned down. The look on her face when she asked me on a date and I turned her down was priceless.

I forgot to mention, according to Forge, if you can't bench twice your weight, hit a target 200 yards out with a rifle, and arm wrestle a silverback gorilla (preferably, all at the same time), you aren't man enough to be desirable and probably shouldn't even bother showing up for brunch.

And, you have to tell your first date you can do all those things while mocking the pencil necked triathlete types who can't. She would love it.

At some point during the date, lean over and place your hand on her stomach and say "Soon my seed will be growing in there".

Make sure to discuss whether a sperm is an organism and whether or not your thumb is alive.

What a dirt bag! People like that are their own punishment.

Now that we have your mind totally screwed up, you are going to fail so relax and enjoy the date.

So, are we going to have results?

Well, I followed everyone's advice. Brought my gun, patted her belly, went to the gym beforehand to get that sick pump, as well as Duffy's advice...

I actually thought of writing post in the spirit of a post race recap, but I was afraid BLep might ask me to take it to the Tri forum.

Saturday was quite something, to be honest. In the morning, we were both texting one another making fun of each other and making "date escape" plans. In hindsight, we were both nervous and it really help lighten the mood.

I already knew she was smart and attractive, but it was such a bonus that we clicked. But man, the first 5 minutes was horrible. I think the butterflies in my stomach had butterflies in their stomachs. But after the initial nervous wore off, it was great, and the conversation flowed freely from the both of us.

Anyways, what was supposed to be a <2hr brunch ended up being a 4hr date. After eating, we went for a walk around the neighbourhood and continued the conversation. But stupid me, I walked on the inside of the road (forgetting my manners) and a truck dove passed a puddle and kinda splashed on her (not a lot, just some sprinkles) Rookie mistake and I was kicking myself for forgetting that simple rule. *Tip to the rest of you men, always walk closest to the road.

Also, someone gave a tip about having a witty end to the date, so Friday night I had written a short note with a bad groaner joke (I know she likes those), ending with asking her out again. I just thought that it would give her an out if she did not want to see me again as she would not have to be awkward about promising a 2nd date, vice versa, if I didn't feel the connection, I did not have to gave her the note.

But I thought it went well and handed the note to her and told her to read it when she got home.

By the evening, she responded... positively, and we are planning to meet up again next weekend.

:)

Nice!! Was hoping this would go well, what's the plan for second date?

What did you guys eat?

Walk and witty always works.

After reading this thread, I plan on staying single and alone if something happens to my marriage.

Not if it is cold and/or wet and jokes are stale.
