If a gentle, "Please leave me alone until I'm all the way awake" doesn't work, just make a sign that says, "Quiet time!" and hold it up every time she starts to annoy you.

The first step to making something annoying stop is to be reasonable, the second step is to be ridiculous so that it becomes funny.

Hey, honey, did you like the movie?


Shh! I'm counting stitches!

Date: "So, Tiki, whatcha knittin?"
Tiki: "SHUT THE FUCK UP!"
Date: "Check, please."

See, wolf could've taken this project as her craft project to while away the time. Oh wolf? Are you getting this? :)

I didn't even read this post. ;)

It always backfires. For some reason indifference seems only to fuel their fires. I should try being really hyper-enthusiastic and excessively "into" them on first dates.
