I like the idea of dates. I just have no idea what they're really like.
Now, that's not to say I'm comfortable with the idea of dating -- it often weirds me out, and right now seems appalling and horrible.
That's not what making out sounds like -- unless I'm doing it wrong?

What do you do after the second date? Or the fourth?
I stopped seeing a guy after a third date (I default to people getting a min of 3 dates if they seek them out). I liked date one, did not like date two and was really looking on date three to see if he was picking up on my cues. He wasn't, but finally asked me where I saw this going when I indicated I was ready to go home. I was honest, it was not going to develop into a relationship and I wasn't looking for a fling, so either friends or nothing.

First dates and job interviews have a lot in common.

What if he hadn't asked. Would you have told him on the date?

I like job interviews. I'm good at them. And they usually translate into me being wanted more.

I dunno, probably because he probably would have tried to kiss me again and Hells no.

I would like, for just the once, to go past the phase of "blind date" and telling-the-same-stories-about-myself and get to the part where I get to spend time with and know better somebedy I already like and trust.

Yes, well, that's because you're all qualified and stuff! Me, not so much. I find job interviews stressful and depressing. They make me a big ball of anxiety.

That sounded all boasty, didn't I?
Well, I do like job interviews. They're a chance to show off and playact in a way I can't imagine a first date being. I also don't mind professional rejection as much as personal, even though the concrete implications to my life are larger.

Oh, hell yes. This is me entirely.
