Am I supposed to bring anything? I know a bottle of wine or something similar is what you usually bring to a dinner party, but I don't know if the rules are the same for a date.
wine? condoms?
You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

IMO, bringing wine gives a message of "I'm nice!" with subtle overtones of "Let's get schnookered and make out!"
ita, you could wear the jacket with a slim dress, or hollywood-waisted pants or a skirt and a slim-fitting blouse, maybe?
Oh, and thanks, everyone. I am tired and worried about the whole thing right now (i.e. our finances) so the excitement is helping perk me up.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What's a Hollywood waist?

Perfect! Exactly what I'm going for. Now I just have to figure out what to wear...

Raise! This means I don't have to consider the job that would pay more but would involve 55-hour weeks plus two hours of commuting!
YAY. I've finally stopped working crazy amounts of overtime, and if you started, I probably would cry. YAY.

Maybe this is the question that "handcuffs" is the answer to...
Congrats to both the fleas and dana. Good to have some good news.

well, that depends on where you want the evening to end -- at the door or in his bed?
at the door -- pants in bed -- skirt, no pantyhose. or stockings with garters.

I have to say I love you guys right now. You make me want to go on a date, but also relieved that it's not in the cards. All these rules and signals!

Hollywood waist: high, often above the natural waistline, no waistband or belt loops or anything, usually a little shaped with darts.
A lot of the google/google image hits aren't really Hollywood waists - it should be fairly high, which might make it hard to find in this low-rider era.
