How do you react to a seemingly warm funny cute guy who wears flip flops and a crumpled tee for a first date at an upmarket sushi restaurant. You think he's laidback and focus on his smile, and hope he makes nice conversation.
How do you react to a guy whose nice conversation is peppered liberally with the F's and the C's of the English and hindi world, and who in his very charming way, says after each use, "excuse my french". You think, why, oh Why! (Well, it ain't that I am not used to the language and the French of it, or that I never use the "fillers" ever..but
Why would you in a first date? Its not as though it were so much part of your normal conversation that you aren't even aware of it..you are, and fully so, and that's why seeking the pardon after every use! An attempt to be deliberately cool? Main to aisa hi hoon bravado? Unfunately, it doesn't do anything for me….)
How do you react to a guy who insists on slapping your thigh or touching your shoulder at every pretext? You withdraw and/ or stiffen. You still give benefit of the doubt. Maybe you are the prude.
How do you react to a guy who insists on spending the rest of the day with you at "your place or mine". You suggest coffee. He suggests TV " at your place or mine". You yawn delicately and talk about a wonderful film playing nearby. He suggests chilling "at your place or mine". You say politely that you "take time to open up to people". He says that's okay and suggests continuing the conversation "at your place or mine". You yawn again and say you feel a little heady with vodka (30 ml mixed with orange juice!) and should maybe go home to sleep. He suggests coming over to see you off. You insist you are fine and will manage. He says "call me when you wake up; I'll come over".
I never did.
