Nope

khan my brother don't become the comic book guy just hit it, what can go wrong

I do have a nice coffee shop to suggest (not that she might lean somewhere else) that's less well-known than some on campus, but still quite nice, and there're coffees on the menu that i'd enjoy.

Not that i'm planning this out or anything

Lol.. Yes this is the hard part.. Its not a date but you still want to make a good impression.. You really need to relax about it.. Your head is probably spinning on things you can talk about, how you two are sitting there in that coffee place.. But thats silly.. Never gonna happen.. You need to try to have a natural conversation based on the things that happen right then.. Once i had a drink with my gf at starbucks where they write your name on the cup.. The coffee girl had drawn a smile at my name.. We had an argument why that girl would do that. It didn't help that my stamps card was almost full so she knew i visited that starbucks a lot. And i was planning to talk about that new TV i was eyeing. Long story short: you can't plan these things.

Just dress nice leaning to casual, have smints for your breath, check national news and check if there is anything fun to do locally (concert, fair etc) and if you have the balls you could ask her to one of those things. Thats like the main line, don't need to think about details, don't be creepy asking her too personal stuff, asking how her coffee tastes, (you can ask how her waffles tastes, just not her coffee) thats for later.. Then you just be sharp in the now and then, people walking by, a magazine cover thats laying around etc..

But keep it casual, don't be creepy.. Cause remember: you know more about her cause you did "research" but that doesn't mean she knows you too well..

khan if she likes horses say you like em also, if she likes shoes say you like em, if she likes kitties say your more a fan of pussy

I am more of a cat person, indeed.

Deliberately avoiding joke

Tell her you're a moderator on a gaming forum. haha

I check this thread periodically to see how you're doing with her. Keep at it. Slowly, but surely.

Um.... I would totally eat 2 waffles on a first waffle/coffee date. Does that make me undateable? >__<

Khan, it's great that she mentioned the coffee. Now it's important that you don't act too keen. Cos even if she's starting to like you a wee bit, being over-eager will make her think you're thinking far too much about where it could go (and, in my experience, that's always seemed really shallow from a guy who didn't even know me very well.. how can he be so keen if he doesn't even know me?!) 

Not to make you panic or anything. But just. Relax. Don't try to be something you aren't. 

(And also. If you're both so busy, if this works out for you this relationship is gonna take like 50 years to get down the aisle).

Heh, i'm trying not to think too hard on the last part. The whole venture here is about seeing how far i can throw this, and doing it like a normal person would. Odds are on this will fail for one reason or another, same as any relationship, but that doesn't concern me. I have coffee with a girl on wednesday, that is all.

I would seriously doubt if you wanted to get to know me on our first waffle/coffee date or that you just really like waffles and used me as an excuse to not eat waffles alone... I'm sure some guys would be satisfied to be your waffle buddy but not me.. Not me
