Ah, What A Lovely Crepescule

Some of you may guess what the title means... that's right I am joining the ever expanding ranks of those who are studying for the GREs and have to use lots of big useless words in everday conversations, in order to learn them of course. Don't worry, I didn't know the word 'Crepescule' either, which I would have guessed has something to do with French crepes, perhaps filled with a yummy filling. Instead it means 'twilight', which doesn't sound nearly as nummy and might get me beaned if used in an ordinary conversation.

My question of the day is: how do you handle a first date where you reach the end and you realize you didn't have a bad time, in fact it could almost be considered fun, but you will never want to have a long term relationship... or really a second date, with the person? Obviously you cannot kiss this person because you don't want to date them again, so what happens when they lean into kiss you? I solved this in typical 10lees fashion, by leaping from the car the second it was put into park and saying 'Thanks for the evening, I had fun' and shutting his car door as I turned to pull out the keys for mine.

That right - for those of you who have seen Hitch there was no key fiddling in his prescence. In fact I had to do it after my rapid exit.

I feel so bad, I almost want to give the poor guy some money. I mean he took me out to a play and everything. Would a guy consider it rude if you tried to give him money? It is not like I had the opportunity to even attempt to pay for anything... Or is money just expected from guys to find the right one?

Please provide me with your opinions.
