wait, your avatars not your picture?I just texted her my picture so she knows what I look like:
I'll let you know if she runs away.
A Scooters maybe?I ‘m not saying Starbucks isn’t a nice place, but is there an upscale coffee shop close?
At our pre-Cana, I remember a middle aged male leader telling us guys to never say no to a wife’s request for sex. I can say I’ve lived up to that and wish there’d been a lot more requests.I have to say, before Mrs. A and I got married oh those many years ago, we had to go to the "Engaged Encounters" (Pre-Cana) weekend program offered by the diocese, held at some local chain motel outside of Baltimore. There were two rather hilarious moments.
First, at one point they brought this relatively young couple in to talk about natural family planning. Naturally, they had like 3-4 kids, but they were trying so hard in their testimonial, with the husband saying "it really works!" and the wife literally sitting there crying.
I was personally a catalyst in the second. At the conclusion of one session, they decided that we should all spend a few minutes contemplating whatever the content was they'd just gone over (I forget), and to "help" us in that endeavor, they were going to put some music on that the presenter couple was really fond of. Well, they chose about THE WORST 70s ERA CATHOLIC FOLK SONG YOU COULD POSSIBLY IMAGINE. So, I'm immediately sweating, I'm shaking, and my face is literally turning red as I'm trying to squelch the laughter. I look around, and frankly, so are most of the other red-blooded American males in the room, and the future Mrs. A is squeezing my hand VERY tightly. But then it happened. You see, in most music, the lyricist generally tries to give a nod to classic poetic conventions like a rhyme scheme. Sometimes, it's ABAB, sometimes it's ABBA, but it's usually pretty conventional and pretty predictable. Well, for whatever reason, the lyricist for this particular song decided it would be a good idea to use a rhyme scheme that was sort of along the lines of ABA...F. So when we got to the fourth line of the already bad lyrics, and I'm expecting B (because that's what thousands of years of poetic conventional conditioning does to a person), and they hit me with F, I simply couldn't contain myself any longer and just burst out in full throated, uncontrolled laughter. And of course, that caused all the other men in the room to do so while their fiances shook their heads and the instructors sat their with a puzzled look on their faces. When we went to the break, future Mrs. A just turned to me and said, "they ****ing deserved that."
You've been warned, Brian.
I already gave OP’s mom all my ejaculations from the past four years. Multiple locations, too!Ahh, Vatican roulette. If you two end up in purgatory I will offer up all my ejaculations to get you over the threshold and into the promised land…

If you found her super cute and nice, why wouldn’t you give her a second chance?I'm back!
She was super nice and cute. (No pics, sorry) Real classy.
I got a table near the entrance to Starbucks 15 minutes early and she was on time. She lived walking distance from Starbucks so that's great.
When she arrived, she sat down and I asked if she wanted anything to drink. She asked if I was getting anything and I said water.
She got some Strawberry fizzy water and tried to pay. Nice gesture. Lol, of course I'm paying. I'm not a total douche. I did the new credit card "tap" thing on the machine. Very convenient. CSB.
Then we sat back at the table and talked about saints and travel for about 30 minutes straight. She's been going on silent retreats with some Nuns and went to Spain to visit Teresa of Avila's convent.
We talked about Maximilian Kolbe and Padre Pio. We talked about family and work.

She said her apartment lease is ending in a couple months and she may move back with her parents for a year. She's an only child and her parents live about 25 miles from the Starbucks.
After about an hour, I wrapped things up. She said it was "great" meeting up and I agreed. I told her I would text her a documentary of Saint Padre Pio we talked about.
The date went well although I didn't feel a "spark." I hope she didn't like me too much because I hate to hurt feelings.
I wish her the best.

Water, huh? She must’ve appreciated the investment in the date. 😂
She was probably being polite and taking her cue from you.Hers was Strawberry fizzy water at least.

But what if she just wanted to **** you a few 100 times before she moves. Is that so bad?Good question.
I just wasn't feeling it. I'm sure she would have great chemistry with many other people.
Also, she's moving and made it seem like she wouldn't mind moving to another state. I don’t want to move. That's one of my few requirements.

Damn right - she gives loving to all mankind!OP's Mom is a saint!!!

Wait until the Fever game is finished or else she won't answer.I'll call your Mother later!
Careful, this sounds a lot like a date (including the lack of an initial “spark”) I had about 16 years ago (minus the saint/Catholic talk)….16 years and three kids later, here I am.I'm back!

Also, don’t buy into the catholic “rhythm method” BS. They all use some type of birth control, they just don’t talk about it. And yes, I know because I’m Catholic, grew up Catholic, and my kids go to Catholic school. Actually was in a conversation with a group of guys/dads where someone cracked a joke about it and everyone just laughed like, “yeah, right”.
She's moving back with her parents who are about 25 miles away from your meetup point? That doesn't seem like you need to move.
I'm sort of thinking you should probably give it a few more dates. I don't personally put a lot of stock in the "spark" or "chemistry". If she's attractive to you and you guys have similar moral and religious views.
Also my wife and I's first date didn't go well. She was nervous and only gave one word answers to anything I asked about her so it was impossible to start a good conversation and so I got bored and my eyes started drifting up to a TV in the restaurant we were in.
Anyways we overcame that and now we've been married 14 years, 4 months and 17 days and have 3 kids ages 11, 9, and 8.
Granted if you've gone out with her 3 or 4 times and find her boring or don't find her fun or interesting than probably call it off, but I wouldn't put a lot of stock into not feeling anything after a 30 min conversation. Sometimes people need to get to know you a bit before their fun side can come out. Also would suggest doing something fun where you can laugh at yourself and one another. Wife and I went bowling and neither of us are expert bowlers, I think that was important because it brought out our sense of humor.
I think you should get back out of the dating game, bruh.
Yeah. I might.
How does a person know if they should get married?
You went on a "date" and only had water?
I'd check with the lord and see what he says.
Do you not enjoy liquids other than water at Starbucks?Yeah. Nice and casual.

If you don't feel a connection, probably best to not pursue
