If Metafilter was a guy or a girl that you went on a first date what would that be like? Bar, concert, restaurant, museum or a pirate ship? What’s metafilter like? Funny, sweet, provocative, an introvert or a romantic? What did you do that made metafilter smile? What did you have to backpedal on? Bonus points: do the same for Askmefi, Cute Overload and any others you can think of?

Okay, let's hear it.

For our first date, we went to play minigolf. She wore a stunning professional white background.
MetaFilter herself is quite extroverted, and always has an opinion or knowledge to share on any topic. Which made for some interesting conversations with everyone else playing minigolf that evening, as there was no topic to obscure or insignificant for MeFi to speak on. Sometimes, MeFi’s comments are quite provocative, sometimes insightful, sometimes funny, and sometimes nonsensical.
I made MeFi smile when we went out for pizza, and I specified that we wanted portobello mushrooms, not just any mushrooms. I had to backpedal when I started talking too much about myself, and she accused me of being a self-poster.
After a nice walk, we shared some cheap OJ and had a late night plate of beans. When I took her home, I asked if I could come up and just got a
what
in response.
In all, she’s a nice girl. However, her only response to my asking for a second date has been repeating the line “$20 SAIT”; I think I’m going to go to her sister, AskMe, for some relationship advice.
She kept telling me about this new kind of Pepsi…
