True, in fact it sounds like she planned on paying, or at least going dutch: "She asked me to come."

You must know a lot of desperate and poor women. I've never spoken to a female, IN MY LIFE, that would do this. And I've been around awhile.

As has been said here, the matter is not just asking her out. The matter is making her notice you are going out with her BECAUSE you are interested in her, not just going out to spend the evening. I've had girls feel ackward because "they didn't know this was a date". It happened even when I took a girl to dance salsa.

I guess the key to avoid ackward situations is that she knows of your interest BEFORE the date, but I'd like to know how we are supposed to make it obvious yet smooth...

Just ask her out on a fancy date and pull out the works. She'll get the hint. Then she can let you know she isn't into you, if she's not into you.
not creepy if you do it right. dont start by grabbing her ass. just do something simple like hold a door open, then when you are step through to rejoin her at her side put her arm around her resting your hand above her hip. she'll react somehow but unless shes a nutcase she not gonna yell at you in public or anything.

No kidding! I would never agree to a date for a free meal (plus I ALWAYS offer to pay or go dutch).

There are plenty of free things the OP could do that would constitute a date. But as someone mentioned, him making the gesture of paying really brings home that it is a date. Hell it could be $5 at subway. Doesn't have to be a 5 star restaurant and lavish night on the town!

Do what every other guy on the planet does. Take her out for drinks. Kiss her and see what happens.

OK ...so somehow you got across that you were going to see Avatar, and SHE asked you if she could go with you? The way you put it, it's kinda confusing but that seems to be the way it went down...you didn't go, and without even this initial date under your belt..you're looking to ramp it up...

It's weird because you say YOU arranged it, and later say SHE asked you.

How did you MUTUALLY arrive at not being able to make it...why do I get the feeling it's like she broke the date and you agreed so that's your idea of both of you not being able to go?

I get kinda worried when I think I might see a male trying to rationalize away a rejection to some sort of mutual agreement to break a date.

And it's so weird to see 4 pages of assumptions going forward with such miniscule data.

A date didn't even occur.

The guy posted this 2 hours ago and hasn't elaborated. Yet gone on to post in other threads.
