Jeff, let me introduce you to girl-speak -- BobbiJo
That was girl speak. Girls aren't used to be rejected like us guys, so they aren't direct. I picked up on that.

This is where it can be difficult. If you're totally dark it's SO much easier than having positive interactions. But I have faith that you can do it. -- Pearlharbr
^^^^ this ^^^^^
This is exactly what I'm worried about. I was willing and able to have a positive interaction when I was pursuing. But now it is much harder. I treated our mini-date (after the second week) like a first date. I came prepared with all the first date questions. Kept the conversation rolling. Frankly right now, I couldn't give a crap who her favorite elementary teacher was or who her childhood pets were. I already know what she will say to idle chit-chat. This isn't going to be as easy as it sounds.

This might sound blasphemous, but I don't like lobster.sick I'll order the crab instead.

New clothes wouldn't be complete without a new scent. Pick out some new cologne too.
I'm good on clothes. But maybe some new slacks. And shoes. Okay. I've gotten cologne recommendations for:
Black Code - Giorgio Armani
Polo (original) - Ralph Lauren ( I like Polo, but it seems a little strong and pine-y for me)
Contradiction - Calvin Klein
PHAT FARM Cologne Pour Homme

I've got:
Obsession - Calvin Klein (meh)
Red - Giorgio (meh)
Burberry Summer - (W picked)
Cologne - Thierry Mugler (my absolute fav, W doesn't like)
and I just found a brand new bottle of
L'eau D'issey - Issey Miyake (the W picked out before she left and I never got a chance to wear)
and finally
Burberry mini set (not sure what is there)

If this date is W oriented, I'd be inclined to wear the Issey Miyake. Or I could just pick something new I like.

So, I need to be able to maintain a mundane (non-R) conversation for at least an hour. Pick an exact restaurant, date, and time (that actually will be a 180 for me). Taking separate cars (just in case). Keeping it in the same perspective and a casual friend I did a favor for (I helped her move, this isn't a b-day dinner to me). Did I miss anything?
