...or God is about to pull a very nasty prank on me. Of the two, I hope it's the first option. I'm still in a bit of shock over this; it all happened so suddenly. I've had to sit down and read through my ICQ history several times to make sure that it happened. It looks like it has.
Ladies and Gentleman: Siegfried is going on a date!
Yes! I'm finally going to get to go on my first date ever with a living, breathing, sober woman next Wednesday, February 13th. I'm going on a date. I'm actually going on a date. I'm so excited that I can hardly contain myself at the moment!

Well, since Siggy hasn't volunteered it, and since others aren't asking ...
Who is she? Where and how did you meet? How did you come to ask her out (or vice-versa)? Where are you going? What type of interogation do you expect from family members following this date?

Hell hasn't frozen over. I know this because things aren't working well with me and Leanne. Actually they are. For fear of going all Barcalow here, I gotta say I hate when girls like you only as a friend. Not that my situation is anything like the Major's

Interogation by her family members? On a first date? Heh...sorry, I wouldn't put up with any of that. I would suggest avoiding any sort of interogation from the 'rents if at all possible until there's actually something to be interogated about. One date does not a relationship make, and in my experience, far too few parents get that :0)
But yes...congrats. Be respectful, don't try to kiss her, and for the love of Pete, open the door for her

Tahna, actually it's a fluke that we're going out on the day before Valentine's Day. I'm actually thankful for that since I depise Valentine's Day with a molten passion (see my signature, for instance). Plus, there isn't any "pressure" being induced by the stigma.
And here are the answers to Jeff's questions (before an Interrogation of Siegfried starts up):
Her name is Farah.
She and I attend the same college and share the same major. I was introduced to her about four years through a mutual friend of ours during a floor gathering for Star Trek Consumation Night. We've been friends ever since and have alwats had a flirting and teasing thing going on.
I asked her out on the date, but it wasn't my intention. She asked me for a favor, and (as is my standard response with her) I told her I'd do if she'd go out on a date with me. To my surprise she accepted.
The plan so far is to meet her at school and go out to dinner. Seeing a movie is not out of the equation, and neither has an evening walk through some of the more picturesque parts of the city. Yes, Houston actually has some nice places in it.
As far as family interrogations go, I'm probably not going to share a whole lot. I've always been very private about my love life with the family, but I'm at the least going to tell them that I am going on a date. My grandmother won't be too happy, though, she still considers me her upstanding Catholic grandson and probably wouldn't approve too much of me going on a date with an upstanding Muslim woman. As for Farah's family, they are not going to be told. They strongly disapprove of her dating (period) and would probably wouldn't be thrilled with her going on a date with me.
Aban, I know all about chivalry on the date. I pull out her chair, open the doors for her, throw my coat over puddles, no kissing on a first date, etc.

I was just kidding, Siegfried. Didn't mean to be offensive. You'd be surprised how many winners there out there who apparently don't know how to do all that stuff though...
