I think it is funny all the ways that people are different. I mean Dom gets really excited and happy when he has dates and he becomes quickly obsessed with them. I mostly just start to freak out and think what i will have to do to make a date work out. I never am just like i hope we match well. I am always wondering what I should be doing. I think that is dumb. I wish i could just chill out and not flip out every time i get a date. But i do. So that is just a part of me i guess. Some one left a message saying that i probably freak out and get more nervous than i need to and mentioned that girls get nervous as well. I don't doubt that at all. It just doesn't help.
I guess we are supposed to have a pretty big guys night out on thursday which should be fun. A friend wanted to go to some strip clubs another friend has never been to strip clubs and I know another friend that always wants to go to them. So i guess we are going to strip clubs on thursday. Which is going to be a little wierd, cause i would rather go to strip clubs with a group of girls and guys than just a group of guys, but whatever. It is always fun to chat with a stripper for a little while and realize how different other peoples lives can be. I sit infront of a screen and type and get frustrated and will do this for my living as well. A stripper does something that they probably wish they didnt have to do for money and just hopes the guys dont mess with them to much. So being a geek to sex sells the world is ready for the exchange of money.

it's totally understandable to be nervous before/during/after a date but you just need experience. i still get nervous but not nearly as bad as i used to. ask dom about it, i'll bet he wasn't always quite as calm as he is now. go buffs!!

Dan,
Experience doesn't help. Dates suck. You don't know the girl and you are reading nonverbal cues and verbal cues, and analyzing and shit. Not everyone is like Filosa and blessed with the gifts of I-Don't-Give-a-Fuck, and Gab. I now me you and lisa talked about this for a long time on monday so it is really funny to see you writing about it now. The only advice I can give you is find out what the girl does, if she does nothing she is too boring for you. IF she does something get her to elaborate on it.
If lisa wasn't an ICe Skater, or avid scuba diver our first date would have went no where, I hate talking about myself but i Loved, and still do love, listening to her stories. She has been to some awesome places and seen cool shit. Make the girl talk about herself and you still have control over the conversation (like you are supposed to?) But it makes it go places.

you should be nervous. nervous means that you're putting some thought into it all. just don't be too nervous. during the date you don't want to worry about how it's going, just try to have fun. afterwards you can stay up all night wondering. the worst mistake people make is that they try to be all interesting and amazing on the first date...but not themselves. you have plenty of interesting and amazing qualities, if you act like yourself and she likes it, then you'll work out great. if not then it would just add up to more heartbreak in the end. so we'll all help you come up with good ideas for a date, then you'll have a plan and just be yourself...nervous and all. remember, you already gave up on this one when the other 2 were looking more promising. this is like a free shot, you did nothing to get it, so have fun.

Yes, it might be more fun to go to strip clubs with a group of guys AND girls, but the ideal situation is to go to a strip club with your parents.
