Stacy (name changed to protect the innocent) and I met at Ruth's Chris steakhouse bar in Carmel Valley. She was coming back from a "boring holiday party with a bunch of old lawyers". Stacy is in her last year of law school and wants to be an energy policy lawyer on her way to running for president of the US someday, and therefore does NOT have a Facebook account as to not leave any evidence of wrongdoing that may damage her reputation.
The bar was extremely busy, but we were able to order some drinks and find a spot to sit down. While originally, Stacy suggested "drinks", we both came with an appetite and ordered some appetizers. While she seemed socially adept, she had a difficult time telling me about herself, giving me a bunch of superficial stuff ("my favorite color is lime green") and finally saying "I'm not that interesting".
So, I took it upon myself to lay out my life with some detail. She had set up a getaway for 8:15, 45 minutes past our scheduled drink time, and wanted to call her girl friend and tell her to give us some more time, but since Stacy was drinking, her friend was going to drive her home. I suggested that she invite the girl friend to join us at the bar. Her girl friend thought it was a great idea and was on her way. Stacy asked to take a smoking break as she "smokes when she drinks", and I stayed at the bar chatting with drunk football fans that were yelling at the TV as their team was about to win the game.
Stacy returned 10 minutes later and our food had arrived (Mushrooms stuffed with Crab and a Shrimp Cocktail). While we were eating, her friend showed up. Samantha (name changed to protect the innocent) is an overly voluptuous blonde, and was wearing an extremely revealing dress. We ordered a few more drinks and a couple of other appetizers (Crabcakes and Crab Cocktail). It seems that like Stacy, Samantha was extremely hungry and thirsty. I love women that don't hold back when eating and drinking, especially on the first date, seriously... I soon learned that Samantha is also in her last year of law school on her way to practicing Tax Law. And, while Stacy was simply concerned with her reputation for political reasons, Samantha is a conservative Republican. She had a difficult time simply sitting in the bar through the conversation, and the drinks didn't help to loosen her up.
After 1.5 hours of getting to know the girl that "isn't very interesting", and her best friend who "voted for McCain" and "loves Tax Law", I sent them on their way "to downtown San Diego to make lound snobby comments about various guys and girls that the see around".
While the date was entertaining, I can't say that I will be best friends with Stacy and Samantha.

Wow, great that you got a date, but Stacy doesn't sound like a keeper to me. I have dated half a dozen lawyers, law students, and future law students, and while I've learned my lesson since then, Stacy definitely fits the prototype.
Thanks for sharing!
Game is on! You did it and are better for the experience. Love the update. Thanks!
Your ad was pretty adamant about non-smokers. "I smoke when I drink" is annoying. As a smoker, I hate these people because they are the ones always bumming smokes. Hope your next dates are better.
