First Date Advice! Please Help!

Good for you. It looks like you kind of got lucky there with the parents and with the girl.

Also, I agree with Mr. K. I had a girlfriend and after we were forced to separate (long story) I was really upset for a really, really long time, but then I tried remembering something about her and I realized that I didn't know her at all. I knew what music she liked and what foods, I knew she loved animals, but who doesn't? It was odd knowing that I knew just the basics even though we had been together for three years.

Anyway, you don't seem like that guy that would just be with her because it's having a girlfriend. So, take her somewhere where you two can talk. What I do with friends is talk about how childhood was and funny stories about it just to loosen them up and get their humor into play some more, but it works for me because people seem to just naturally trust me.

I've been told by a few people I should set up the next date today. I'm not so sure. My mom comes home from the hospital on Wedsday after the aneurysm/stroke she had in July, so its going to be kinda hectic around my house for a bit. what do y'all think? I'm thinking I should wait a week to set something else up.

Didn't ask for a second date today. My various friends advised against it.

What do you all think about me asking for the second date via text? I asked her in person the first time cause I know that's what everyone does, since its frowned upon to ask someone out via text. However, since we've already gone out (kinda sorta hopefully), would it be alright for me to ask for the second date via text? Also, should I use the words "go out" or "date" in the text? I know to never use the words "hang out" since that will get me stuck in the friend zone. I'm almost sure she's interested in me cause for one, she said yes to the movies and that she'd like to do it again, and two, her parents indicated that she talks aobut me at home and they approve of me. (Also, I'm going to be pretty busy over the next 2 or 3 weeks since my mom has to adjust to being home and we have to adjust to her being home. Her helper is going to start and will probably need help for a bit to get the feel of the house. Basically, my life will undergo a somewhat big change at some point in the next 4 or 5 days.) Anyway, asking over text, yes or no? Also should I use the words "date" or "go out", or would that not be proper? Your thoughts, please.

To anyone still interested in this forum:

I've been keeping a forum on screwattack for as long as this one has been up. That one has around 90 posts, and has more details and discussion than this one. I'm probably not going to continue to update this forum just because I don't need two forums to keep checking up on. If you're still interested in how my life goes from here, and what's going to happen to me, check here:

I appreciate all advice given.
