Don't let her go. They are few and far between. And she probably thinks the same of you. good luck.

married 28 years and still in love with my bride.

You're in Cambridge... there are two fun places I can think of right away... "Dali's" for tapas and "Cuchi Cuchi" for some real fun. http://www.cuchicuchi.cc/photos.html The bonus is that the waitresses dress like turn of the century harlots... cleavage up to their chins etc etc. Combine that w/ fun-n-fruity martini list, and that ought to loosen her up.

edit: damn, late post...

Dave and Buster's might not be a good idea... unless you stick to the bar... what are you planning on doing- playing arcades? She'll think she's in high school.

Definitely not pool. Unless they are into it. Whenever I see a couple in a pool hall, the guy is trying to hide his laughter and frustration and the girl her boredom and embarassment. Nothing makes her feel more inadequate than missing the entire cue ball, and if you want to get into that let-me-get-close-behind-you-to-show-you-how-to-hold-it stance... there are better ways- like helping her uncork a bottle...

Walking and talking in a small but nice art museum - dinner before or afterwards.

If she gets to in-depth and artsy-fartsy ... pass
If she snickers and makes funny 'adult' jokes at the nudes ... she's a keeper!

You now know how my first-date with my wife went (met her online too).

Next date we're going out to the East Coast Grill here in Cambridge: http://www.eastcoastgrill.net/

We see mussels steamed in thai coconut milk
Oysters
BBQ in our immediate future.

YUMMM!!!!! Love mussels......love BBQ (had some this past weekend...ribs, brisket, sausage combo plate. You're making me hungry now!)

I disagree. IMO it shows if the girl knows how to have fun... Adventurous side.... And remember, I'm a girl. Why wouldn't we want to do fun, active things too? And high school? I guess it may have briefly crossed my mind maybe at first, don't quite remember it being a real strong thought (been there a few times) but hell, that aspect, would bring back some great memories of fun, fun fun....closeness...innocent laughs. And pool is a blast. Lots of us play pool.

Ask her! See how she feels.

Bring your stick and your money to Oregon...I'll find a woman to play you...

Once a woman decides she likes the game, she can become pretty ruthless...Cindy & I just bang balls around, strictly recreational players, but I've seen women players who are pretty darned amazing...

All kidding aside, good luck with her, she's a beauty.

Shaun,
Sounds like it was fun - good for you. Working on getting up north in March. I haven't forgotten about my debt, looking forward to it.

Is kinda funny that a bunch of people spread accrss the country if not the globe were hanging on the edge waiting for a date update. Thats gotta make a guy feel good about his chances.

That would be me!!!!!!

Used to play in a pool league. Love pool.

Used to be a great pool hall in Woburn (just outside of Boston) think it was called Mothers. Bikers from the Barons MC would hang out there. The rep of bikers is all wrong - I would rather me and my date be in a room full of 1%ers than a frat party. Guys in clubs have a certain honor code, treat therm like men, show respect all is cool, be a jackarse and you will get stomped. Frat boys are just stupid kids that don't know how to drink/drug.

Like an up-date on if she's slinky or not?

"chances".. like the chance of a return on investment/ROI.

Knowing our beantown liberal like I do, he took the high road, the high hard road that is.

She's talking to her Mother - "gee Momma, he has his own bizness, he's real cute and he has this little sports car he sayz is a Honda but I never did see a Honda like that - must be from Europe or something, any way Momma, I think this is the one! He didn't even try to be ungentlmenly are anything. He showed me respect Momma and thats what you and Pa thought me, the man has to show you respect! But Momma, I'm not so sure he a Christian boy and I know he isn't Baptist. Momma? Momma you still there? Momma????

great selection out there in no-city land imo. I ran into a few of them hanging out at a NW hot springs once. After a while and talking starts I find out one of them worked at a lumber mill. She said she would taylor her evening date scent by cutting a specific wood, don't remember. All I remember is that some guy was going to bang a blue eyed blond nature woman that smelled like rosewood, go figure.

Oh I don't doubt it. Someday I'll take you up on the offer. Every week I see women make some great shots. Don't know why but it always seems like they are stronger on those difficult angle long distance shots.
