The first part of the Blind Date was about how I was introduced to a girl through a friend I know back in college. The girl and I are both studying abroad in Madrid.
I met her last week at a café, sat down and ate some churros con chocolate and introduced ourselves. She was very open from the moment we talked and seemed comfortable doing so- talking about her rough childhood, faith, etc. About half an hour later, we got up to get some sushi. The place was amazing- it's 16 euros per person (about $20 US dollars) but it's unlimited food, and the waiter comes up to you at a good pace for you to keep ordering from a menu with over 60 plates. There, we talked some more and ate for about 3 hours. I felt more comfortable towards her at this point. Here are some things I remember though and they are pretty weird!
1. She told me about a time when she pooped in her pants in her senior year of high school. Wait what? Yeah and we were still eating, so I'm not sure what that was all about. I did think though, that something like that makes her really unique at the least. I was laughing in disgust, literally. Apparently she's not embarrassed of what others think of her.
2. This was pretty ballsy of her- there was this water stream next to our table and she was really thirsty but didn't want to get another bottle so she put her cup in the stream and drank out of it. It was hilarious. I got thirsty later though and bought another bottle. Sushi gets you thirsty!
3. She talked a lot about relationships and asked me on how I felt about women, dating, marriage, etc. She also opened up more on her childhood, family, faith, etc. I felt like we had a lot in common talking about some of those things. She asked me a lot of deep questions also.
After we got up, we wanted to get gelato but it was too late so we said our goodbyes. Two days later, we went to El Museo del Prado which is really famous in Madrid. She invited her roommate along and I invited a good friend of mine, Hanna. We all separated when we got in looking at the art pieces at our own pace. Hanna was tired of looking at art and was hungry so she left early. She invited me over for dinner and she made some bokumbap (a Korean dish with rice, vegetables, meat). It was okay but I was so hungry I killed it. After, I washed the dishes- bad move? Here was another interesting thing that either shows I'm getting friendzoned or she's interested.
She let me use her computer while she was cooking and I found a bookmarked tab that was the "5 Pillars of Manhood," by a Christian pastor. It's basically five characteristics that a woman should find in a man in a Christian perspective. I asked her about it and she told me she forgot some of the contents but wanted to read it again. After we ate, we sat down in the kitchen and she opened that website up and started reading it aloud in front of me. Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but I thought it was kind of strange for her to read that kind of article to me. I jokingly said that there must be a 5 Pillars of Womanhood and googled that and opened those websites for her to read. I wanted to get gelato with her this time but she wanted to go grocery shopping with her roommate so we said we'll wait again until next time.
All in all, I'm really interested in her and would like to continue to meet up with her. Religious talk aside, she's very strong in her faith as well as being a very funny, honest and unique girl.
The big negative is that she lives in the west coast and I live in the east so it'd be pretty difficult to meet up with her after being here in Europe.
What do you all think?

Why do you care what we think?

id say she seems interested in you. you can play it passively for a while, but wait too long and you may be friendzoned. contrary to popular belief, girls dont arbitrarily decide who to freindzone, so the ball is kinda in your court. if i were in your position i would just act as naturally as possible and dont be all secretive about the fact that your into her. i mean obviously dont be like HEY WILL YOU MARRY ME IM SUPER INTO YOU AND STUFF but i mean if you find yourself feeling like you want to flirt, dont avoid it. its hard to read girls, and im not an expert, but honesty works pretty well for me.

Search TL for squattincasanova. He's the expert when it comes to girls.
In all seriousness I think you should go for it :D

Is Hanna your friend, her friend or the blind date girl's name? Did you go back to Hanna's house or the girl from the blind date's house?? It's really not clear to me. I recognize that probably I failed to read between the lines but still I can't tell ..so..
LOL she comes on strong, eh?? Poop pants story right off the bat.. I don't evne know what to make of that. I'd say she's just comfortable with herself and mainly interested in others who are comfortable with all the details of her 'underneath it all,' as Gwen Stefani says via no doubt.
How did you feel around her? It sounds like you were comfortable opening up to her so that's good. Reading into things that have a high chance of being explained as coincidence or by other reasons, (like how she seems preoccupied with questions of faith) is pretty bad.. I mean i like to ask cosmic questions too but i don't use the answers to explain what is going on practically..
I'd say it sounds like a friend with some room to flirt with if ya want. DId you have the pillars or what?? Overall, fun read but quite a few gaps to fill for a full story.

There is cuty and corky, and then there is drinking from a water display in a restaurant.
Other than that, first post kind of summed it up. We can't exactly say what you should do, because we can't exactly feel what you feel.
I could tell you that religious stuff gives me the creeps and you should run out of there, but there are plenty of people that are perfectly fine with religion, or religious themselves, so how would my advice apply to them?

LOL.
I think he has been permed though.

LOL I dunno about the pooping the pants thing... And the 5 pillars of manhood doesn't seem like something I would want to be judged by. My advice: be careful. If you can't be yourself then its not worth it. Some people want a wedding more than they want a marriage

Make it known how you feel sooner rather than later. You don't have to say the words exactly, but make sure she knows where you stand. You'll have a concrete understanding of your relationship, and if she turns you down it will be less painful than if you pine over her for a couple more months, and then she turns you down.

Hahahaha
OP, if it felt right for you, pursue it. Long distance relationships are tough, but they're possible

she likes you, you fuckin dunce, so go do something about it
who cares if she will live halfway across the country after school not every relationship has to potentially include marriage to be rewarding

I agree with this. She seems rather up-front and direct about things, so doing the same for her is probably the best option for you, in my opinion.
She sounds like a mature young woman, too. Sounds as though she values respect and honesty in a relationship, and that's really important. I'll pray that it works out for you two.
|
Sounds like she is looking for a fling.
|
Her being upfront, honest and direct is a good thing. I love women like that. If you're bothered by her religion just ask if she's the type to shove it down everyone else's throat or she keeps it to herself. Unless you're just bothered by someone having a religion regardless.
|
Personally, the religious thing makes me shiver. blegh... but otherwise, she seems like a nice person, if a bit straightforward with telling others about her life experiences.
|
You should kick down her door and be all like, "EAST COAST IS BETTER!"
Or you could just see how much you like her + her poop stories and just make a goddamn snap decision as to whether you want to go for her or not. Also depends on how much social interacting you and the girl do online (between you guys and as individuals).
|
She likes you. The only way to fuck up is by doing nothing at all.
|
Thank you guy for your input. Regarding her faith, we are both Christians and so it is actually a good thing that I got to hear her about her faith. Cheers!
|
Yo dawg, you gotta drop your ball and hook up with this girl. Dont worry about West/East Coast or marriage and shit. Just hang out with her and have fun. You guys should go to a soccer game at Real Madrid FC and shit. And yes, I am under impression she wants your cock.
