This girl and I hung out today. We were getting along well early on, but I offered the alcoholic slurpee suggestion and she seemed very very hesitant. We ended up not doing it, but things still went ok with just a little picnic and walk on a beautiful day. When I think about when I was under 21, I'd probably feel as much hesitation as her.

I went to grab a drink with my brother and told him I took a girl to a grocery store for a second date. He was a bit floored.
I think if I see this girl again, I'll take her out to a proper dinner.

I totally agree about the silly/teasing/behaving like kids part. It's really cute though, this girl is a little shy and whenever I jab her with a joke, she just takes it, which is no fun. It only works if the girl has at least a little fight in her, right ;)
