 I'm more of a go with the flow kind of girl. I tried once to do the stereotypical dating experience, Friday night dinners and a movie and taking it slow and it just drove me nuts analyzing what I should and shouldn't be doing and following the rules, I'd rather just do what I want when I want.
I feel the same way! We're stuck in that stereotypical dating scenario since we were kind of set up and have crazy schedules. It wasn't like we knew each other and were able to just get to know each other first, it was more that we started talking/seeing each other to see if we could be a good match. I've never started seeing someone like this before and it's so awkward. The first time we went out I felt like I was going for a job interview

See I've only ever really done the start out dating as strangers thing with one guy. All the other guys I've dated, long term, we were at least acquaintances before we started dating. That's just kind of the way it's always worked out for me. So I feel your pain, the one time I did date someone I didn't know it was strange and uncomfortable and didn't end up lasting, there was an attraction but we didn't have a ton in common but because we didn't really know each other I felt like I needed to be on my best behavior. I'm hoping that if I ever do have to date a stranger again (crossing fingers I'm done with first dates) that we'll have a better connection and it won't feel so job interview-ish, as you put it.
