That sounds like a pretty damn good first date to me (though it's been a long time since I had one).
Bunch of wanna blessed-bes. Nowadays every girl with a henna tattoo and a spice rack thinks she's a sister to the dark ones.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Sounds great! Go you!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That sounds excellent, Tom!

Of course, the only thing I'm dwelling on is how badly I may have screwed things up at the end.

It all went perfectly until the end of the date, when I tried to get a little more emotional, and then the whole fight-or-flight response kicked in.
To clarify: I'm betting you neither bopped her one or literally ran away, right? In that case, it sounds excellent.
There is almost no brief weirdness that a nice phone call/email/other type interaction can't smooth over.

Awesome Tom.
Fight or flight response is not that unusual at the end of a first date. Or at least, not for me.

Totally normal. Sounds like a good time, Scola.

I'm usually OK by the end of the date, but I've never had a first date where I didn't think I was too sick to my stomach to make it there.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Go Scola!

This? Also normal. I hope.
