Sorry, I haven't gathered all my information about the Ten Ways To Catch A Guys Attention, but I will soon.

Recently, I went to a water balloon party, and for a while I have been really nice to this one kid. He didn't really seem to have any friends, so I would talk to him. Apparently, kindness was taken as a come on. So at the party as we were picking up the broken balloons he came up to me to ask me out. He was so nervous, and when I looked up at him to say that I would love to go to a piano concert his cheek was twitching and I knew something bad was going to happen. The incredible shy/nervousness wasn't my first clue. The fact that he couldn't carry on a conversation was.
When he picked me up everything went well. He opened the door for me. That was the end of anything good. He had nothing interesting to say; no stories, no compliments, nothing. The fact that he had been out of the country for two years (four months ago) didn't help at all. By the time we got to the concert I was wishing someone would kill me. Thank Heavens I didn't have to talk to him for THREE hours! All throughout the date I just kept saying to myself, "There's no place like Home!" and "I wonder if the pianist is single?"
After the concert (that went on FOREVER with the same tune over and OVER again) we were walking to the car, and he asked me if I was hungry. Is this kid Crazy? He's wants to be with me longer?!?
"No, I had a hamburger before I came."
"Well, would you like to go to Olive Garden?"
At this point I knew that this kid was a little dense and I was so tired and irritable that I said, "Sure." but not for the reasons that you are thinking of. I wanted to see what my limits were with this guy, mentally.
During the first part of the date I was really nervous, but during the second part of the date I just wanted to entertain myself. I figured that since he asked me out, he was inviting me to ask him any personal question I wanted. We talked about construction, breakfast foods, marriage, books, and favorite colors. I was even going to ask him about past girlfriends, but recognizing the date I was on for what it was, I figured I was his first date in awhile.
The thing that peeved me the most was that when he took me home he opened my car door, but didn't walk me to the door. IDIOT! Ick! I still just can't believe that he wouldn't walk me to my door. The only thing that I can figure as to why he did that was that he didn't want an awkward doorstep scene.
I feel really badly that this guy couldn't talk to me, but I would never go out with him again. I can sum up that night in one word. Boring.
So my advice to everyone is if your date is turning out to be the longest date of your life, don't sweat it and remember:
"No matter what, you can always entertain yourself."

What I learned:
Kindness attracts EVERYONE. So if you like someone be kind to them.
