An Italian friend hooked me up with some kind of imported cured pressed meat. As far as I can tell all the words on the packaging are descriptors (soppressata stagionata dolce) so I don’t know the actual name of the thing. Unlike most cured meats it’s just pressed and not made out of ground meat mixed with other ingredients. Either way, it’s delicious.

That’s a sweetened and seasoned soppressata, which is basically dry salami.
Fuet is still the king tho.

So when a friend asks to go to the cinema and then asks to go to a restaurant afterwards on the same day, can it be considered a date?
Edit:
Oh, and missed me?

Hey hey! Glad to see ya.
If it feels like a date, it’s a date to you! Dont waste time asking us, ask your date

It’s kinda like, planning for it. First we were only supposed to watch a movie, then he suggested if we could go to the restaurant before the movie starts and make use of a special deal combo. It’s going to happen tomorrow and I’m pretty excited!
I’m way too shy to ask if it’s a date or not. It’s like he’s being direct and asking casually but I don’t know if that’s what friends do? He apparently never went to a restaurant with his guy friends. It’s the first time he asks me (after knowing each other for 5 weeks). The restaurant he picked is a greek restaurant named after the goddess of love, it’s all very romantic and stuff. He said he only picked that one because he thinks the food is going to be delicious. I don’t know if he’s being indirect for being too shy himself or I’m looking too much into it XD What do you guys think? Either way, I’m happy at the possibility of having a good friend who lives nearby.

Haha, ok im seeing some serious over analyzing. Personal experience and what not.
Just relax. You’re having diner and going to the show with a new friend. Just enjoy that and see where it goes. Putting a label on it won’t change anything aside from what you think : p
Good luck, though 
What are you guys seeing?

Yeah, I’ll try not to over analyse and just have fun. Thanks Midnight 
The movie we’re going to watch is Dracula Untold. Apparently it just got released last week. Anyone watched it? The trailer looks good at least.

Oh man, please let us know how the movie is. It looks like the kind of movie where you shut off your brain and enjoy the ride, lol.

Welcome back.
You shouldn’t wrack your brain thinking about that sort of stuff. Go into the night with the mindset of two friends having a fun time. If something more develops, then you’ll find out.

I used to think that Japan cornered the market on Crazy-Ass Shite.
Then I see stuff like this (NSFW).
And I realize that the Dutch could probably give them a run for their money.

I’m not sure I want anything to develop XD I see him like a brother more than anything. I don’t have those kind of feelings towards him. At least, I never thought that way before. I only asked because I wondered if he is thinking that way. Right now focusing on college and making friends is the good life Seriously though, I’m going to do what you guys said. Not think about what this means. I couldn’t help but do that in the past.
I’ll try my best to give some impressions later. I’m not much of a movie guru though. My opinions on movies tend to be less harsh or technical.

Haha, all I want is a 1-10 on how stupid the plot and writing are. How about that?

It’s a 4-stroke 350, the other bikes I have are a 2-stroke 500 and a 4-stroke 625. This is a really like race bike with smaller displacement which will be less tiring over a whole day.
I’m also not getting the Husqvarna anymore. The dealership keeps jerking me around and I’m sick of dealing with it – I’m also getting this one for about $6000 cheaper.

Oops, too late! I wrote a mini-review on that other thread without reading your reply 
I’m bad at giving scores though!
