finally met me in the lobby. I complimented her on her appearance. She was properly appreciative. She then asked where we were going. iiAttractions, I said. IIThey've got decent food and interesting waitresses. We headed uptown, up Slant Walk and to Attractions. At the Phi Delt gates, we passed, this weeks version of uIIm-in-a-sorority-give-me-money-for-a- good-cause, please. We got past them and got to the restaurant. Fortunately, there was no line at Attractions and we were seated with no problem. Our waitress was a flirt, and I liked her. Christy didnit. When it was time to order dinner I told Christy to order anything she wanted. Unfortunately, she did. She ordered the filet. That was nice. I, of course, ordered the chopped sirloin, a wonderful piece of meat for just $4.95. Dinner was not the disaster I made it out to be, however. I really enjoyed her company and discovered that she liked sports, a must for any girl that I date. The drinks were pretty good and so was the food. When the bill came, it was about what I expected. So, I wouldnt eat for the next month. Kraft Macaroni and Cheese and peanut butter will go a long way. Christy: I had class until four oiclock on Friday, which was really a bummer because Brian said he would pick me up at six-thirty, and that didn't give me much time to get ready. Of course, I wasnt ready when he called from the lobby of my dorm. I must have been kind of nervous, because I had forgotten to turn on my curling iron until the last minute, so I had to curl my hair while he waited downstairs. I read something once about being iifashionably late, so I suppose I was. Brian looked really nice when I finally met him in the lobby. I dont think I had ever seen him in anything besides sweats, so it was a shock at first, but I liked the new look. uWhere are we going? I asked him. When he told me Attractions, I was really relieved. Somehow, Brian always struck me as the Mac 8 Joe's type, and I hated the thought of over two and a half hours When it was time to order dinner I told Christy to order anything she wanted. Unfortunately, she did. She orded the filet. That was nice. I, of course, ordered the chopped sir- loin, a wonderful piece of meat for just $4.95. spent getting dressed for Mac 8 Joeis. We made it uptown without any major problems, except for the girls at the Phi Delt Gates, but Brian handled them smoothly. He said all he had was a twenty. I was impressed. We were seated right away at Attractions, which was nice. Brian was such a gentleman, he told me to order anything I wanted. I was so glad he said that, because I just love filet mignon. Brian: We finally left around 8:30 for the movies. Desperately Seeking Susan was playing, and I had heard that it was a good flick. Besides, I didnt know of any Miami girl who didnt like the star of the movie, Madonna. Far Left: Desperately Seeking Susan was a Madonna film that was more than just a pop star-turned- actress movie. Like for these two, dinner and a movie was a popular date in Oxford. Left: Brian and Christy enjoyed some beer at Mac 8 Joeis after the movie. The bar had a typical college atmosphere. Much to my surprise, it really was a pretty good flick. Definitely a movie lid recommend to my friends. Movies at the Princess arenit cheap, however. After dinner and the movies, lid already spent over thirty bucks. Macaroni and cheese was looking very attractive. After the movie, I asked Christy what she wanted to do. Whatever you wantf she said. Of course, why did I expect any other response than the old standard? Well, since it was up to me, I decided that weid go to Mac 8 Joels, the best bar ever invented. Fortunately, she didn't say anything and only winced a little. I have known very few girls who genuinely like to set foot inside the place. But dammit, Mac: 8 Joels has something that Attractions will never have. No face people. You know the kind - the type of person who will wait for an hour in the rain, wait to get a drink at the bar and then stand for the rest of the evening, just to be seen by the right people. Mac 8 Joels definitely doesnit attract that crowd. Do you know of a better reason to go anywhere? We managed to find a booth, my booth. You know the one, the first one on the left. She sat down, and I ordered a pitcher of Strohls at the bar. I asked her if she liked Stroh's. IiDo you like Stroh'sP, I said. It's fine, she said. What else was she supposed to say? Christy: Dinner was really nice, then we walked to the Princess. Brian wanted to see Desperately Seeking Susan. I was afraid the whole theatre would be filled with Madonna Iook-a-Iikes, but it turned The Dating Game 23

out to be a pretty good film. During the movie I kept trying to decide what I should do if Brian tried to hold my hand, or put his arm on the back of my chair, but he didnt try. 80 then I worried about why he didnt try. When we left the movie, I wasnt ready to go home yet, so I was glad when he asked me what we should next. Of course, I had to say I didnt care, which turned out to be the wrong thing to say. Brian chose Mac 8 Joeis. It wasnt as bad as I had expected. All those horror stories weren't true, at least, not all of them. We had a pitcher of Strohis, which wasnit my idea of romance, but I did enjoy talking with Brian. I was beginning to really like this QUY- During the movie I kept trying to decide what I should do if Brian tried to hold my hand, or put his arm on the back of my chair, but he didnit try. 80 then I worried about why he didnt try. Brian: We set a leisurely pace finishing off our pitcher, and we had what I would term a good conversation. It was now getting close to 1:00, and lleitristy thought it was about time that we e . So we left, and walked very slowly on slant walk back towards Porter. Unfortunately, we were soon there. Now came the moment of truth. I liked her, a lot better than when the evening started out. It seemed that she had warmed up a little to me e would I get a good-night kiss? Iill never tell. But I did ask her for another date next weekend and she accepted. . Alas, my dry spell was ended, and as I walked back home I could just hear the macaroni and cheese screaming loudly at me, probably until my next paycheck. Christy: All too soon it was 1:00, so I told Brian, iil really should be getting home? Brian agreed. We headed back to Porter, and arrived there before I knew it. We stood awkwardly on the front porch, about six feet apart, and said what a good time we both had. This was The Moment of the Goodnight Kiss, and neither of us knew what to do. Brian moved a little Closer and . . . well, the important thing is that he asked me out again, so now I could look forward to the next weekend. CI The final scene, or the anticipation of the GOOD- NIGHT KISS, could be either the low or high point of the evening, depending upon what happened. Re- gardless, Brian and Christy went out again the next weekend. 24 The Dating Game
