Sleeping on your 1st date!

Its an age old fact that you never sleep on your 1st date. Since i do not get many 1st dates anyway i have never really been put able to question the logic behind this notion of not sleeping on your 1st date.. But one fine day i got my chance to do it and like a true male specie i grabbed it with both hands ;-)
A very good friend of mine decided to set me up with some doctor friend of hers and since i respect doctors anyway i said "Sounds good". So she exchanged our numbers.. i must admit from the voice on the phone she did seem quite OK.. There have been times when i get turned off by gals voices too.. It is strange.. i know that.. but I am weird! Plus my friend said that this doctor lady could talk a lot and also likes to listen (though the 2nd part will hardly ever be used, it is good to know :-)) and i felt like this was an answer to all my prayers in one gal.. Normally answers come in packages.. So i called her up and we agreed to meet in the afternoon around 3. She had a clinic to go to in the evening.. I agreed..
My mom wished me luck hoping at least now i will grow up in regards to my personal life.
So sharp at 3 i was at the coffee house i was supposed to meet her. After the introductory greetings we went into the coffee house. Well she looked quite good i must admit.. And well since i knew the college she studied at (its a place where u cant slip in a few hundred thousands to get an admit.. U have to be really smart) i felt gr8.. maybe this could be interesting.
So the waiter came up to take the order.. I remembered all the things u see in movies and elsewhere of not calling a waiter "BOSS", "psuicck- psuicck (a whistling sound very commonly used in India" etc and stuck to "excuse me".. i will admit that i generally always use "Excuse me" so it wasnt very difficult but i still bore it in mind.. OK this was something new.. i was trying to impress her :-)..
Well she noticed my BB and said "Ohh! cool phone". There was a thing in me which wanted to say "it is very common nowadays".. i seriously decided to ditch it.. this i must admit was far from easy :-).
Then i said something which made her begin to talk (normally it is good.. but for someone like me..).. I said, "I respect doctors a lot.. the trust which people put into you guys.. Its not for nothing that Doctors are compared to GOD".. Off course this was a line for impressing her.. But she took it to heart.. From then on i learnt most things abt her 1st year courses, labs and stuff.. She just kept going on.. after about 30 mins i decided time for another coffee.. (this was more due to a certain realization as there seemed no hope of the conversation ending soon). So this time i ordered a cappuccino.. Machiato wasnt going to solve the problem here.. :-(
Slowly as we travelled through her 3rd year.. i realised, "Holy mother of God!The jet lag had now decided to kick in".. i hadnt taken this into account.( i had been on a tour from Tokyo-Chicago- India in the last 10 days). As she kept talking abt her PG plans etc etc I Dozzed OFF! She didnt realise it since i was an expert in sleeping when someone is talking to you.. i developed and mastered the habit all through college.. Bad time for revision i felt :-). Finally the spoon lying next to my cup fell and i woke up.. it was then that she realised that i had been sleeping all along..
Obviously bewildered she asked, " Were you..?" Ashamed i said "Yes"... it was pretty clear that i was from the eyes but i think she was doing a CT (confirmatory test! See i picked up some med school jargon.. i wasnt sleeping all along :-).
Without wasting anymore time she left.. And completely screwed up at that time as i was.. I needed another cappuccino to get up and drive home..
And on my way back i realised this is perhaps why they say, never sleep on your 1st date! It can ruin good things that could happen!
Next morning i ventured enough courage to call her and apologize.. and that i did not mean to be disrespectful which i really did not.. She had just one question," How could you?".. Seeming out of answers I said " It was 6am in Chicago!".. She banged the phone down!
