Am I just looking for faults?
Okay, I received an e-mail from TheChattyCathy that asks for a date for APRIL 12TH! That's REALLY far in advance considering the fact that tonight will be our SECOND date.
I asked Kbean her opinion about it and she broke it down for me like this:
Positives:
* He realizes you have an incredibly busy social calendar and is trying to get in.
* He really likes you and is testing you to see if you're interested.
* Variation: he wants to get you a fantastic birthday present but needs to know you're interested (okay, that one's a bit of a stretch).
* He's a planner. Maybe he's an evite fan too?
* This is his favorite event and he wants to share it with you because you seem very cool.
Sketchalerts:
* Doesn't he want to make sure that the witty banter isn't just the result of one too many jello shots?
* People in Arkansas get married in a month (or on Christiancafe...).
* He's really desperate for a girlfriend and is locking you in.
* He's a total sleezeball who knows that implied commitment makes girls put out.
* He doesn't have any friends to go with him so he needs to coerce pseudo strangers.
***update***
The event is MotherTongue (description below).
For more than seven years, the Black Cat has hosted MotherTongue, a monthly women's spoken word event.Occurringg on the second Wednesday of each month, MotherTongue provides a safe space where all women may speak freely and powerfully and have their creative and artistic voices heard.

I think we need to know what the event is to make an informed decision.

I wouldn't analyse his actions too carefully; if you try and understand anyone too vigorously they will inevitably appear to be a psycopath.

Matt, microanalyzing boys is my lifeblood. Please don't don't take that away from me!
