Another first date today. This one was a blind one, and I was more nervous than the last - even got to the movie early so I could have a nerve-reducing drink next door at Tapas Teatro.
She seemed happy to see me in the lobby of The Charles, but I couldn't read any signals during the movie. Because my mindset is still middle school, I like to do this sort of lean-over thing and see if my partner is willing to sort of lean towards me, so there's at least a little bit of contact during the movie. However, she had positioned her body away from mine, turned left, and the whole time to make myself feel better I was trying to tell myself that this was just by accident, that other people really didn't think as much as I do about these sorts of things. Later, she seemed to go more straight to the front, in a sort of neutral "I could let you rest your hand on my knee or not, really, I could take it or leave it" position, and I was able to position myself so I was sort of rubbing the side of jeans, but I was sort of straining because she was turned towards the front instead of towards me, and didn't make it any easier for me, so then I figured she just didn't want it. I gave up, and eventually just didn't care any more. I was hopeful she'd want to go to Club Charles afterwards for a post-drink or something, but she was very matter-of-fact when we left, shaking my hand and asking where I was parked (of course, the opposite of her direction) before I could say anything. And that was that. I do not think I will see her again.
Oh well. It still feels good to get out there. I've actually had a pretty active social calendar lately, and it's nice.
Match Point was pretty good, though. A little slow, though.
It's so disappointing that no Oscar movies are out right now. They should have been re-released because I would have been all over Munich, Good Night and Good Luck, and Walk the Line today.

You can see Munich at the Beltway Movies 6
Sometimes I'm so focused on trying to "touch legs/arms" that I forget to watch the movie;)
i hate to be critical of your game, but when you are on a first date, and a blind one at that, try to not rub up against her. seeing how you have not yet spent any time in one another’s presence, and you’re in a theater NOT talking to one another, some women might find that a little creepy. ;)

Eebmore: Maybe you're right. However, I would say that my choice of the word "rub" was an unfortunate one. I had a little contact, that was all, but was so insignificant that it couldn't be called "rub." And I must say that in my 15 years of dating that I've never had a partner so disengaged, so I got the hint.
Here's the best rule of thumb -- let her lead. If she is touchy with you, then you know all is good. Woman are much more forward these days...even on the first date. This woman sounds like she was just plain uninterested. (Which I am surprised, because I've heard through the grapevine that you're quite handsome!) --- Dawn
