So there's a girl that I've made friends with from a conversation that we had in the comments section of a mutual friend's post. Since then, we've had some pretty deep conversation via Facebook about various goings on in her life, but we've never met. Recently she went on a crappy date and we talked about that, then I half-jokingly asked her "I don't suppose this is a good time to ask what you're doing for valentines?" ... that led to a conversation that ended with her accepting my invitation for a date this Friday (a valentines protest date, also because I work saturday).

My problem (or what I feel is my problem anyway) is that I haven't been on a legitimate "first date" in nearly a decade. I've never really been one to pursue the ladies, I've just been lucky enough to land in a few serious relationships in my life where the girls came after me with rose colored glasses on and it just happened. But this is totally different, because we've only talked online, it's bordering on a blind date.

What I have been doing in all these single years of my life is basically gaming, interneting, and waiting tables at a fancy restaurant here in town. I feel like I'm overall really not a catch for any girl in terms of stability or independence (I live with my mom, helping her pay bills since my dad passed, and I have no money saved, and no college degree).

Ok, start with the advice now, please. :)
