Do tell, I told you it would be a boring festival, you have to live for the moments, I'll do what ever takes to make my date feel comfortable, happy and secure, if my date didn't mind, I can think of 11 different places to have fun and get to know each better then some coffee shop. All tho, we do have lovely coffee shops in Princeton village, we also have some of the best restaurants and fun places in the country. We have the Ivy Inn, it's an Irish dump, the food is great and the atmosphere is the frigging best, Piano bar inside and an Irish band on the outside, maybe it's me? because I'm always making coffee for my guys at Fire House, LOL. Back in a day, we wound up at Princeton museum before we did anything. And man, did we do some stuff that Knight. Be a duck and let it roll off and Soldier on, you'll find that fun person one day. Good Luck! and Thanxs,


Knight

We meet up at Chilli's .He hugged me and really tightly until I told him to stop.Later on,he talks about university of Illinois. He wanted to me visit him.He feels like we have great chemistry. Also he talk about he doesn't have many friends and hasn't had gf since he was 16. I tried to help pay for the meal but he really wanted to so let him. After we left, he hugged me and ask me for a kiss but I said no.He was okay with it and said he call me later. I said okay.

Doesn't sound like a horrible date. It was awkward, because you just weren't feeling it. Nothing you can do about that. He hit on things and said things that just didn't interest you. Hard to fake it through those moments.

I agree, but I would never bear hug my date when I first see her, unless the chemistry over phone was that good.

I'm going to play devils advocate. Who's to say he bear hugged her? The last woman I dated gave me a big hug (almost bear huggish) and immediately went to hold my hand on our third date. She ended things with me the next day.

For me, I wouldn't had of focused so much on the hug. The bigger issue was that she just wasn't interested in what he was saying or what he was doing with his life. She just wasn't interested. No way to fix that. The hug seems immaterial, because if you're physically attracted to the person, does it bother you that much? What came off as verbal diarrhea to Sommie was the biggest issue during the date.

Hug was probably bad form due to personal space, but he was probably being openly forward and honest. At least she knew he was interested in trying to get to know her. I'll take an awkwardly long hug over someone who's skittish, standoffish, and shy. I'm a more forward person in my own life too, so I don't do well with skittish and shy people, unless they're comfortable opening up.

Fair enough. Bad form on his part. Maybe he did or didn't have bad luck with those types of hugs with other women, but other issues came up that caused them not to work out?

Dating just isn't easy. There's some things that are obvious no no's when dating, but sometimes people can be so incredibly picky and basically fault find everyone they meet. Not saying you're doing that, but we have a thread here about coffee shops. I used to love coffee shop dates too, but I found out that they just didn't go anywhere. I'm still the venue doesn't matter type of guy, but sometimes it still does.

You and I agree on more than you may realize. I am just trying to take it from a woman's point of view that a long hug when you first meet awkward.

I dated this women that said not big on PDA so she is reserved and she probably is going to be a friend because if you get uncomfortable when I am flirting and touching your hand that is not a good sign to me. Afraid these type are wait for 3 months to be intimate no thanks. Not a prude, or player, but yeah if I am attracted then it's natural I want to be closer to you, not just any random woman. We have chemistry proceed forward.

I don't like PDA but I love being dirty in private.
I have coffee dates before and it was mixed bag.
