Soooo I've been gaming this girl at my uni for a few months–just some casual flirtation, playful kino, teasing. I haven't had the time to actually take her out until this week.

This week rolls around and she messaged me on facebook asking me to give her some course material (it was really irrelevant material, she was looking for an excuse to meet with me). I tell her sure, but she owes me a drink, and I tell her to give me her number (TELL her, didn't ask). I told her that Saturday would work best for me, and I agree to call her today to make plans.

We start making plans after I wake up with a raging headache from the night before (a story itself worthy of a lengthy FR, but that will come later). She suggests going to a screening of an old black and white film at the Stanford Theater. We agree to meet at 4pm.

This is where I got thrown off a bit: she texts me 15 minutes before we're supposed to meet saying she's bringing her dad along. What the hell am I going to say? No? I say cool, and realize that I'm going to have to fight the urge to qualify myself in front of her father if I want ANY chance of pulling this off IF it hasn't been completely fucked already.

We meet at the theater, and her father is this tiny, quiet man. And I realize he's very beta. It was strange and really easy to be my cool, confident self in front of him; major points for me. And the girl, who's normally rocking at HB7.5 looks kinda hot tonight; she's done her makeup, is well dressed, even her posture has improved, she's looking like at LEAST an HB8.5. I'm thinking, "great, she got dressed up for me; this is a good sign" She told me that she had no other plans for the evening and hadn't done anything all day, so I have to assume it was for me.

We go into the theater, and sit down. I'm not trying to pull anything with the dad there, but there's some definite DL kino going on. She's touching my hand, resting her crossed leg against me, etc. This goes on for most of the movie.

After the film finished, I try to give her the course material but she tells me she already got it from her friend. I tease her a little bit about making me do so much work for nothing, and that now she owes me two drinks. And I invite her out clubbing in the city. We're supposed to meet at 8pm tonight, and I really don't expect her to flake on me.

Honestly, WTF is up with the dad move? Any insights into what's going on with that? I think I handled the situation very well, but I'm still wondering about her motivation.

UPDATE: It's 5am and I just got home. We hit a few bars and clubs, but ended up at Temple Bar tonight and danced our asses off. We made out and eventually went back to her place–full close.

Apparently, she felt awful about inviting her dad along to the movie, but they'd just had some kind of fight and she was trying to make up for it. Also, she said she wasn't sure it was a date, as I'd always played it very cool with her. It worked out in the end, tho.
