Boy meets Girl!

A perfectionist, an over-achiever, and self-driven...what is wrong with this picture?

A boy meets a girl for the very first time. They each grab a pizza at Croma on Newbury Street, and they split the bill 50-50. After the date, there is definitely a second in place. It's a redsox game. The boy even springs for two extra tickets, so the girl and her friends can go. Isn't that sweet! At the end of the night, the girl tells the boy, they just simply are not compatible. So what could she have been thinking. The game was a little intimidating, the shoes were too much to fill, and perhaps she felt that she was accompanying him, instead of two individuals simply getting to know one another.

A boy meets a girl for the very first time. They grab a coffee and walk around Cambridge, having lots to talk about. She leaves it at she is heading over seas, and when she returns, she'll get in touch. She never does and he moves on.

A boy meets a girl for the very first time. This time they talked on the phone for hours, midnight into morning. They had talked for a span of eight hours over two days and they were planning on meeting for coffee. The boy mentioned he wanted to see "Departed", and she was open to the idea of making it a date. It was cold out, he was to wait outside for her. He waited inside, and she simply shrugged her shoulders. They greet each other and walk inside the thearter. He springs for the tickets, and she returns a thank-you. When the movie starts he gets intrigued, he puts his arm around her, and she throws it back at him, whispering, slow it down cowboy. At the end of the night, he walks her back to the T station, and they get talking. She mentioned that he was constantly doubting himself, that she liked a man with confidence, one who listened, and respected her, looked her in the eye. He was confused by the phone conversations.

A boy meets a girl for the very first time. They meet up for coffee and they have a meaningful conversation. A second date is definitely in the works. He realizes she is having a bad couple of days and sends her flowers to her office. The girl was surprised and acknowledged the kind gesture. The boy foolishly mistakes this gesture, and calling her not once, not twice, but three times in one day. She emails back to him saying thanks but no thanks, I'm looking for someone less needy. He was hoping that she might overlook his stupidty and consider it a warning. Not the case at all!

A boy meets a girl for the very first time. They meet up for drinks and split a pizza. He reaches for the wallet, and she says thank you. Like the show "Next", she says now the date can end here or if you want, we can do something else. He naturally agrees and they decide to go to another bar. One drink would have been plenty enough for this cowboy, however, he was having a great time. They get back to her place after a couple of drinks, he's invited upstairs, and this is where the story turns ugly. The difference between the girl judging the boy's tolerance not being able to handle his liquor, and the boy's misconception of the girl's intent to hit on him, the unanimous decision was to kick the other to the curb. Lies, headaches were much more than these two could handle.

A boy never met the girl for the first time. Although they spoke on the phone for hours, nearly every minute of every day, one would have thought these two would have actually been compatible. She called him wondering what he was doing or just wanting to talk, and he'd do the same. She called him when she was feeling down or sick, and he was there to help brighten up the day. He felt as if there was a relationship starting, because he would talk about her with his family when he wasn't on the phone with her, and when she called, he quickly excused himself to take the call. He is still lost, what happened? It's one that definitely got away from him.
