So after mentioning to a few friends about meeting someone that I thought I might be interested in, they all pestered me to go for it and ask him out. So I sent him an email (because I'm a coward and that was the only contact info I had) suggesting dinner next week. The problem I have with a girl pursuing is that too many guys I know will go along with things and you never really know how interested the guy is. So he responded back saying that dinner sounded good and suggested this kind of expensive sushi place in Cupertino. For those of you who know me, you know I actually don't really eat fish so I don't know what I was thinking suggesting japanese (I really like non fishy japanese food). I'll try to hide my picky eating but who knows, maybe I'll actually want to eat sashimi.
This really is my first dinner date in a long long time (so sad how long it's been) so I was taking a poll. Should I wear a skirt? (yes was the general opinion). I generally try not to dress up too much because I don't want to look like I'm trying to hard and frequently when I show up the guy is sooo dressed down. But he's a product manager so I'm guessing he won't be too scruffy. The other question was if I should pay since I suggested dinner. I guess I'm old fashioned. I don't want to have to pay for us both esp if it does turn out to be pricey. I'll definitely offer to split though so we'll see what happens there. Most guys I polled said they wouldn't expect the girl to pay for the meal even if she was the one to suggest it. But the good thing with having one person pay for everything is that it does definitely make it more of a date. So if he doesn't offer to pay, I'll just pay for us both.

Well since nobody has commented... It's good that you took the initiative. I'm always impressed with women that have to courage to ask a guy out. So you did good.
You asked be about the bill, but you didn't ask me about what you were going to wear. Harumph!
