That guy really got to you, huh?

Put it this way, if you got IMed and e-mailed repeatedly over a repost, and say, you're neurotic...? Yeah, you'll notice...really notice.
Besides, take my word for it when I say I'm not the only one in management who thinks she needs to take some Midol. If things continue to improve with asianspec being the moderator in the Photog forum, maybe................

He made it to the dug out...
aka, the friend zone.
I get you, Yum...you don't seem like the type to get agitated by someone enough to harp on it. That's all.

And you are correct, I am slapstick enough on AZ 98% of the time that I don't care what happens. But, I'm also extremely neurotic...So, if you get me fixated on something, guess what, it's ALL I see.
She made it an "issue" when instead of reacting like anyone about a harmless comment as "repost" and shrug it off and say, "oops" or whatever and decided to IM me in a rage with swears, calling me a troll, and threatening to tell on me to ...Then, when I blocked her, I was e-mailed instead repeatedly. I never swore once and responded simply that, reposts happen and who cares? Why take what I said about a repost so seriously? Move on. Life is too short.
But, that did it. She got my attention and made it personal. And I'm sorry that I'm neurotic...it certainly would solve my robot hoarding ways it I weren't. [/YA SRSLY = OFF]

I think nowadays, it's smart to start off with a coffee date, lunch date THEN dinner date. Assuming you're not meeting someone that wants to get plowed.
About being neurotic, I think I got a taste of it once when you were trying to get threads back on track. Then I got to know you and realized that instead of feelings, you operate on a series of very perfectly orchestrated binary code. We're all different, that's what makes it interesting to interact with one another. Otherwise it'd be like talking to yourself all the time. Fkn BORING.
Anyway, IMO, squash it...people fly off the handle...doesn't define them. You're neurotic and maybe the guy had people shut him out in life when he was young, didn't take kindly to it or something. Then again, I know my life, I don't know yours.

Rule of thumb (at least from me): If I like the girl or is interested, it is a dinner date. I don't need to take her to a 5-star restaurant but it has to be dinner. Just has been ingrained (and through experience) that anything else is...friend zone. By taking her to dinner, and her accepting, I can gauge her interest level because dinner is...seemingly more serious...and has more implications. If she is willing to take that plunge to see what happens with that dinner date, I know she is interested. Lunch/coffee...has no "pressure" or apparent expectations...so, she's being let off too easily, IMO.
My minimum is 3 dates to get on-base. It can be cute and hand-holding after Date 1 or 2...even...but, by Date 3 (which is usually 2-3 weeks past Date 1), I am on-base. If not, I am risking Friend Zone again and/or I know I'm not getting anywhere...usually.
Yes, given what I do for a living, I do sound systematic. But, it works well for me at least.
Now, to your other point...thanks for the input. She doesn't REALLY bother me...my snarking is just what it is...snarking. Not anything else...I have 100,000+ posts and so, I pretty much will post about anything...
So, don't mind me. My staff all acknowledge I'm freaking insane...so, just let me run around with my hair on fire in here. No one's gonna get hurt...I think...unless you get mad about reposts.

bruh.. lunch / weekday date.. coffee.. no way. Yumkins has it right.
If you really like a girl and she feels super uncomfortable about dinner.. you're at the base of Everest looking up. You'll be lucky to reach the summit, don't even think about putting your flag at the peak. You need to send all the right messages to break down those barriers. She'll file you in a zone within the first few minutes of the "date".
I don't think there's a structure to how far you take it. If you bone on the first date, good for both of you. But be prepared and bring protection, and be aware if she's not too concerned about it.
If you don't bone for many dates, that's okay too, as long as she digs you and is super hornnnaayy when she's with you.
I have a buddy that waited until marriage before doing the deed I told him he needs to test drive the car. He said, I know what I want. He's happily married.
I've heard others who haven't even kissed until getting married. A bit extreme, but as long as the feelings are mutual.
Chemistry is chemistry.. Majofo the chemist.

I gave my 80-20 rule in my original post and what Maj has written is IMO, the 20% and scenarios that deviate. Yes, you could very well be dating a girl who is VERY into you but is not ready for until you tie the knot and/or you date for 3 months or something. And that's fine...The fact of the matter is, by Date 3, you should have a pretty excellent idea of where you stand with this girl or if you are with someone who enjoys the attention and is sucking you and your money dry for the dinners/drinks you are buying.
Other general and very basic rules of the "Date" are: Do not talk too much about yourself...When in doubt, say "I understand."...Do not ever look at your cellphone...ever (so, in my situation, even if I'm on call...when I was, I went to the washroom). And if you really like the girl, and if the date was amazing...you STILL wait at least 2-3 days before calling.
Senior Moderator
No matter how big your ego is, if by Date 3, you know deep in your gut that the girl is not that into you...keep trying is just a waste of time and money.
If you can't get her to like you lots by Date 3, move on.

The less you say the better.. don't feel like you need to reveal your whole life story in one sitting. I still come up with shit that the wife hasn't heard yet. If you're trying pull up your childhood pics and send her a mix track. You might have to let that one go.
Keep your phone in the car. If she's goes for her phone, she's more interested in her elife than your life.
I had a buddy go on a date he met through eharmony.. she makes him go to the most expensive steak / seafood joint, orders filet + lobster tail. Then makes him take her dancing where she sees an old fling, dances with fling, leaves with fling..
Note, I'm not saying go dutch, not my style, but if the girl wants you to take her to the fanciest place, don't be surprised if you end up broke and with a sock on your johnson at the end of the night watching porn vids.

By date 3, you're either in the friend zone, or at minimum, heavy petting zone.
On a related note, watched that fucked move Don Jon.. not what I expected. Anyways, Scarlett's character plays hard to get. They went on a bunch of dates before he got it. One scene she let him dry hump the fuck out of her outside her door until he got off.

Again, Miyagofo speaks the truth.
As they say, on a date, you zipit. Just smile lots, ask questions, and look into her eyes...even if her bahoogas are asking you to stare (the First Lady Cha mentioned to me once when we were into a few dates that I was the first guy who didn't stare at her chest on the first date...and no, I didn't talk about my robot collection either.).
And OUCH at your buddy...that's right there. A girl who will join you for dinner will go to McDonald's with you if she likes you. NEVER suggest a 5-star restaurant on the first date!
Your buddy set the stupid $$$$ bar so high, he had nowhere to go but up...WTF, why didn't he ask you first? He must be white.

Yummy, he was so ronery! and honry!
He's happily married now, going to med school, wife is hot korean PhD engineer from Seoul Nat'l University. Just had twins as well.
I laughed my ass off when he told me. Single life is overrated.

I had a coworker who is a total perv. I thought he was going to get us fired by association.. anyways, I spoke to a recruiter (super hot, big bahoongas, blonde, super fit, wore a tight outfit / pencil skirt) regarding a job. I ended up turning the job down, but said I might know someone who was interested. I told my coworker and warned him.. Juan.. fucking eye contact, don't stare at her awesome tits. If you want the job or to keep any self-respect, eye contact!
He went to meet with her, he was so paranoid that he was going to stare at her tits or ogle her, that he came off super fucking weird. Couldn't even pay attention and answer straight questions (probably thought he was high).
Needless to say, she didn't give him the offer even though he had more experience than me.

I'm easily corrupted...like all Commy -ers.
And thank-you! I looked at her chest enough when I sized her up before asking her out. And you always can sneak a peak when she's turned away. Just not when you're in conversation or when you think she's not looking. She MUST be facing somewhere else or you'll get caught looking...girls have this uncanny ability to know someone is staring at her knockers since well, that's been happening since puberty for them.

She probably thought he was constipated throughout the interview...I can so picture that because I had an engineering buddy who did the same thing except on a date with a friend of mine.
Afterwards, she mentioned to me how the guy was smart and all, but seemed to be unnaturally stiff literally in the neck and almost seemed to have a twitch in his eye (he was trying THAT hard not to look down).
She even asked me to suggest to him to eat more fiber.

Yep...women have that 6th sense. When a hot girl passes by, without breaking pace or even looking at me, the wife always asks how hot I thought the girl was...

The dating scene has evolved since I was doing it...Now, cell phones, messaging, online dating, and all that crap seem to add additional layers to everything. Still, I believe the basics of wooing someone is still the same.
Rule of thumb (at least from me): If I like the girl or is interested, it is a dinner date. I don't need to take her to a 5-star restaurant but it has to be dinner. Just has been ingrained (and through experience) that anything else is...friend zone. By taking her to dinner, and her accepting, I can gauge her interest level because dinner is...seemingly more serious...and has more implications. If she is willing to take that plunge to see what happens with that dinner date, I know she is interested.

PS...that movie was awesome. I actually really enjoyed the message at the end. I've found that to be true in real life too. Too much rubbing and tugging and watching crazy over the top shit that isn't love and isn't REALLY what happens for most normal people in a long term committed relationship really harms that deeper connection you're supposed to have with someone. I'm all for the basics of getting penis in vagina, but I've always been one to also need to have more of a connection with the girl than just that.

I had the girlfriend from hell for a year so single life isn't over rated for me at all. Most of these bitches don't get any respect from me anyway. And as soon as I can tell she isn't interested, I'm out. Turns out if you're an asshole, most women are interested so now I'm just very direct with all of them and it's working out quite well. Lol some chick tried making me order food for her while I was out of state. No respect.
