I’ve went out on three ‘real’ dates in my life, banged one girl, made out with another, and pined away with the other, that last one being my big oneitis. All three were awkward and annoying, trying to build chemistry with someone in a formal setting where you are sitting across a table from is difficult, not because i’m not a good talker, but because the girl is on ‘good’ behaviour. She’ll be quiet and demure, all good traits, but it takes a longer time to break the ice so to speak, and you better have something else to talk about other than sex, and banging her because there is an expected amount of ‘getting’ to know you bullshit. Look, you want to get to know me, fuck me, hang around me, that’s me. I’m not the gentleman sitting across from you, i can be, but that’s only me in formal social situations that is by definition, not a relaxed environment. Btw, i never paid for any of their meals.
