Nah, they just do gourmet waffles, more sugary than eggos or breakfast waffles, with sweet stuff added in.

Wouldn't be a viable date location though since it's open air. For romantic or platonic purposes I would favor something more intimate.

If the weather's nice, outdoors should be fine!

Get to know her before you announce your romantic interest. Hell, the girl might be a massive bitch or have majorly conflicting views to you. Find this stuff out before you commit to trying to woo her. 

Good luck and sugary waffles are the best kind.

But you agree with the general consensus here that "informal" dates are the best way to get to know her, right? A casual meeting as described? I mean, i cited that concern about her being totally incompatible for me, but was at a loss as to how to figure that out.

Conflicting views is unlikely, in any event. We're in the same degree program, possibly the same major (met too many people at that party to keep track of who had which major), in either case, it means we share academic/professional interests to a certain extent, and it gives her a high likelihood of being a bleeding-heart type like me (right wingers generally don't go with this degree program). The real concern is just general personality compatibility; will she like how i conduct myself, and vice versa?

Informal is better to get to know her, definitely. What you have for her right now is a shallow attraction, you're attracted but you don't really know her so it can't be any deeper than that. Keep it informal, and even if there aren't fireworks between you, hey you have a new friend. As far as I'm aware that doens't really happen after an unsuccessful *date*?

(lol at me having any sort of input here. I'm the worst dater ever. I've barely been taken on any actual dates by any of my boyfriends, ever).

just take a couple of beers before you approach her it will enhance your courage.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Now here is a great lesson Mr Khan... even when you try to do you best for some girls its not enough.. or they are just blind to the stuff you do trying to woo her... there has been probably 100s of hours spend on trashleg for the perfect date by various guys and yet she... women... >_>

Truth is Women themselves don't know what they want, buddie.

As for the coffee thing, I dunno if that's your style, if it is then go for it. I'd totally would have asked her to at least a out of the way place though. Just make contact, say a joke if the situation arises, and tell her your hungry and if she'd like to accompany you to get a bite to eat. Be cool, though. Just ask her normally. If you linger or seem really nervous about it, she'll know how you feel about her. If the waffle place is an option, go there, but go to a place between Fast Food and Fancy resturant standards. I'm sure they serve coffee there too. Make sure it's still daytime though so you won't break neutral zone. Make sure you FIND out EXACTLY what you want to find out though if she says yes though.

If she says no, big whoop... there are still 4 billion girls left to go. And in the end she's missing out on you, not the other way around. That's something I tell myself after every rejection (lawl).

Trust me, I never regret talking to a girl that rejects me. What I do regret is NEVER talking to the girl I wanted to talk to... ^_^

My current boyfriend lives in France. The last time I visited him, he broke up with me on day 2 out of 10 of my trip. Changed his mind the same day. three days later, we were going to drive to a country park for a date since we'd had so few. He broke up with me an hour before we left. We went anyway, only to be in a car crash on the way so that was scrapped. He changed his mind again later that night. Another guy invited me to the cinema, asked me to buy his ticket cos he had no cash then bought himself £20 of snacks. I bailed at the end of the movie. Another bf only took me to dinner once, after I broke up with him for being aggressive. I stayed with him for another year.

I really don't have a good track record, trust me. I've never had a guy decide to take me anywhere, it's always been my idea and we've at least split the bill. Ergo, I can say with honesty that I've seldom been TAKEN on a date. (I know, this reads like a sob story and it's my fault for staying in these situations but c'mon, don't paint us all as ungrateful bitches). >___>

Sounds threadworthy to me.. Anyway yes we men do stupid thing but for you to have a few like that.. Could be worst.. When i was younger i had this strange jinx over me.. It happend 4 times... Every girl i asked on a date had someone die in the family right around the date and even one on the date.. 2 grandmother.. 1 grandfather and 1 father.. Talk about a confidence crusher.. For months i tought someone put me under a voodoospell cause yes i was kinda an a-hole for dating a lot of girls. So if you need advice, ex class 10 a-hole right here

I think I've already said as much as I want to on it, haha. I've only had 4 serious relationships, I've never really had any expectations but I give a lot to relationships. More than I get out, for sure.

My friends call me the harbinger of destruction. Because people/companies I get involved with tend to suffer great misfortune also. *high five*

As NiKKoM said: it is just a coffee, not a marriage proposal! 

As for compatibility: Do not worry, "Opposites attract" as well as "Birds of a feather flock together" are equally true.

Me - 6'4'' - Protestant - silent - slow - mediocre student - liberal. And I am three years younger. 

My Wife - 5'1'' - Catholic - vocal - fast - top class student (nr 1) - strict.

And as I said before - you WILL do everything WRONG - so do not worry! 


What have your wife saw in you besides being tall? such a bad taste =p

Kidding... hope you have a good relationship.

lol it's always me who does the breaking up, and they're like "but everything was perfect". Yah, perfect for you cos you were treated like a prince. 

I'm working on things with my bf. It's hard being 1000 miles apart, and he's not very imaginative. But he'll have a chance to make it up to me this weekend!

xD
