Transcript:
Irving: Ask her ask her ask her Cathy: Don't ask don't ask don't ask don't ask don't ask don't ask don't ask don't ask don't ask don't ask don't ask Irving: The exhibit opens on Wednesday. Want to go? Cathy: Go?...Um, well, we'll see... Irving: Oh. I'm still being scrutinized? Cathy: The salad course didn't even come yet! Of COURSE you're still being scrutinized! Irving: When do you think you'll know? Cathy: We're in the first hour of our first date! What's wrong with you?? You can't ask someone for a second date at the beginning of the first date! It ruins EVERYTHING! If I say "no", what's the point of even finishing THIS date?? We might as well just go home now! If I say "yes" you'll presume I like you, which will rob me of my flirtation power and make me resent and reject you even if I'm attracted to you!! ...And now there's no going back! The dating air is contaminated! The pre-question comfort zone is gone and everything is icky, icky, icky!! Irving: Whoever said men have a commitment problem hasn't been around a woman lately.

No wonder she didn’t get married until 2005.

I hate to say it, but she at least has a point about never asking for a 2nd date at the beginning of the first date…
Especially if it’s a blind date… He could be some kind of obsessive weirdo… LOL

I agree… that freaky little mustache just screams “weirdo” too. That’s a bad sign.

Satisfying as it was to see Irving and Cathy FINALLY get married, I’m happy to have single Cathy back!

Well, it’s a little flattering that he’s having such a good time that he can’t wait to see her next.
Refreshing to see Cathy without Irving. Not necessarily better, but different.

He looks like I need a drink!

They’re both right – everything she said (and more) runs thru a woman’s mind and it would never be possible for him to understand that.

I presume this was her 1st Date with Irving
Nope. This was just one of the many guys that Cathy dated in addition to Irving. Her dating relationship with Irving was off-and-on for decades, partly due to his commitment-phobia and partly due to the fact that she could never make up her mind about what it was that she really wanted out of their relationship.
