So, I met this girl. First date was great--good kino and connection. Second date (last week) was meh, and I chickened out when I should have stepped things up physically. I wrote it off as a failure and decided to contact her again in a few weeks. But she just invited me on a day trip with her and some students from the school she works at.

I'm not very experienced at this--I think the most important things for me are to be happy, be social, and use kino on her. But if it looks like she wants me as just a friend, I'm stuck hanging out with her for a day. It may also be tough to be confident and cool the whole day, especially because everyone knows each other so I might get excluded (they'll talk about things that are part of their shared lives). What would you do to make sure this doesn't happen? The only thing I can think of is to smile a lot and tell some stories.

I know part of the answer is that I should keep telling myself she's interested and just keep my mouth moving, no matter what comes out. Any other advice?
