This girl I've been out with a few times is coming over to my place tomorrow night - finally had the guts to ask her to my place. I've never had a girl over at my place, so I have little to go on. We both work at the same place, I'm thinking after work, going to head over to the local supermarket, shop for something together, maybe get some wine and make the dinner together? I dont know the first thing about wines, so I have no idea what to pick, guess it depends on whats for dinner? I dont get into any kind of fancy cooking and neither does she. I have a few movies afterwards to watch.

Update 11/20: So I asked her what she did this past weekend, said she went out with a guy on Friday night. Hmm, guess I have some competition. Wonder if its worth it, or should just move on.



Update 11/15: I think it went well? We left work around 6:30, stopped at the grocery store to buy a few things. Both of us were starving at the time, so we decide to go for tacos - not classy, but hey, it was simple and quick. She was the one that made the suggestion. Had the taco dinner, then watched Pirates of the Caribbean - Curse of the Black Pearl. Took me a while to get the courage to put my arm around her. When I did, she didnt object, but didnt put my arm around me. Also, when she left, I tried to hug and kiss on the cheek, she didnt say anything or object to it, but didnt seem to respond either, kinda kept her arms by her sides. Awkward moment, hmm. Guess I'll find out when I ask her out again if she's still interested in going out or not. Maybe she just needs more time to get comfortable with me?

clean, clean it some more and then clean the fridge.

Fresh sheets.

then clean some more.

-edit- forgot about cleaning - that means everything - bathroom, medicine cabinet, trash, stove, kitchen, carpets, everything.

dude 3rd date = dinner at your place = sex.

3rd date rule, live it, love it, learn it.

-edit- 3rd date doesn't = pizza and a movie.

Just cuddle up on the couch and watch the movie. Then you just wait for the *sigh*. You gotta listen closely, because it is very subtle sometimes. She will sigh, like she is tired. That is your mark to kiss her. It sounds stupid, but trust me...

Thanks for the tips. Cooking together a good idea?

I'm 28, I know, old enough to know what to do, but what can I say, its never happened before. She's 22.

I think you have a problem, because you are both working at the same place and this doesnt go her or your way, there will be a lot of rumors

True, but we cant get into each others work areas. The reason being is that we work for a defense contractor, access is restricted based on which program you work in (lot of "closed areas"). We work on different programs, on different floors. I dont interact with her at work at all. I know it can still be tricky, so I'm going to have to tread carefully. Hard for me to meet anyone otherwise - I'm not a big fan of going to bars.

Nah, seriously clean. I swear cleanliness is proportional to getting some.

1. Don't format your floppy earlier in the day.
2. Double click her mouse.
3. Upload your hard drive into her web portal.
4. Gigabyte her earlobe.
5. Ask her if it megahertz.

OH yeah, CLEAN YOUR PLACE UP.

I think it depends what you're cooking. If it's a simple meal that will take 30 minutes or so, then cook with her. If it's a more complex meal, then try to time it so she can "help" (minor chopping, stirring or seasoning), but have it largely complete before she arrives. I imagine many girls want to take part in the cooking, but don't want to DO the cooking on the date.

I don't know anything about wine, but I found this:

This provides some wine types/food types pairing:
