<-- I was. Your name came up, She knows you?
--> Yep, she and I friends, like you and I.
<-- Are we? ;-)
--> Of course! Idiot! Well?
<-- Well what?
--> Don't you want to know what I will tell her?
<-- Nope. You will say good things. I know you think I am a good catch.
--> lol :-) Well so is she, so be nice to her.

~ We the rambled about life and the need to meet up soon ~

--> Do you think she liked you?
<-- The date lasted 5 hours, I know. ;-)
--> You are so cocky.
<-- That's why you love me.

If I have learnt anything at all, its this...

A woman will not spend any more time in your company than she has to.

If she likes you then she will not mind the time and will happily spend the evening in easy conversation, vino, dinner, and post meal tumblers of whiskey. If she does not like you, she will be wolfing that lamb rack down as fast as she can and then making an excuse as she beats a hasty retreat on what she sees as another wasted evening. As soon as a woman makes excuses not to call you, see you, or simply "forgets" to do either...she feels you are a waste of her time, and has already set her eyes on someone else.

A 5 hour first date, says she enjoys your company and likes you.*

But.

It really says nothing at all until you actually get her out on a second date, in which she confirms the "like" with not only words but also with action.

Ohh, and it never hurts to have a common female friend vouch for you. ~grin~

* One of the best and in fact longest first dates I ever had was slightly under 11 hours, which was the start of a fairly amazing relationship with someone I still hold very dear. The shortest as 48 mins, and while also a great date (or at least I thought so), went completely no-where and resulted in my follow up calls being ignored.

Scorpy said...: Mate, the spy on the inside is a winner. just like high school...you needed the not passer :)
PS: I finished that Womens Anon post btw; 07:51
Scorpy said...: PS: That should be...NOTE passer. My typing is crap!; 07:52
Indiana said...: Bumbler: Well it certainly gave us something to talk about and helped "break the ice".

Scorpy: A spy on the inside is fast becoming my favourite way and in fact the only way I think of ever hoping to have success when it comes to dating.; 09:09
TC said...: Ok, so I hate to be the one to break it to you...

but you know they are talking about you and NOT telling you everything, right?; 10:47
Amber said...: This post had me laughing.

You are so right. If you have a common female friend, then you are GOLDEN for at least a "chance." The rest is up to you... but I have every faith in you, Indy.; 10:54
Peranakan Dude said...: :D

Women are such fascinating creatures, no?; 11:22
Indiana said...: TC: I know...but I know the friend really does like me so I know whatever she says will be good...plus I don't let her know all the dirt about me. (if there was any to know)

Amber: I can still screw it up trust me...just when I think I have women figured they change the game, the rules, and the even the size and shape of the ball.

Dude: They are indeed...they are also frustrating, difficult to read, very prone to not saying what they actually mean and they want to call us difficult.

But I do still love them...ok, well most of them.; 11:59
Steph said...: Ten points Mr Jones, however, be careful what you say, and you BETTER treat that woman good unless you want the sistahood all up in your face. ;); 12:33
sofia said...: a five hour date + inside information...at the very least you would have to make a real effort to screw up this one. good luck!; 14:17
Indiana said...: Steph: I always treat women well...it was bred into me from a an early age.

Sofia: It was only on the date that I learnt we had a common friend, so there was no "insider trading" at all...and while the 5 hours sounds good, until there is a second date its safer to assume you did screw it up somehow.; 14:58
Wombat said...: "...sistahood all up in your face."

Surely the point of lamb, vino and tumblers.; 21:45
expat@large said...: Yes, I've heard that many of your friends are quite "common"...; 17:31
gremlin said...: what does E@L mean?; 23:47
