I dont want it too be awkward with her my first time, any tips on how to "handle" my situation?

Right now your list of priorities is like this:
1. Cumness-speed
2. Being over-whelmed by hotness
3. Replying to her text messages
4. Actually making it possible to sex her

Chances are high, that you misinterpret something here and get way ahead of yourself.

Get her in bed and then suck at having sex, this should be your priorities. No one is good the first time, no one will put up a good performance the first time and she sure as hell will not be satisfied if she has any experience at all. Dont worry about it, get experience and with that you will eventually be able to prolong the intercourse.

"You too!" and walk away, or
"Hey, would you like to grab a drink sometime?" and get her number? (too GCG-like?)

I would have asked for her number. I agree with Henry though, the reaction to the "Are you are lawyer" bit was important.
IIRC you are a software developer for video games, so you have to present it self-confidently otherwise you strike out.
On the other hand, you are different than the rest there and your job is actually a lot more interesting than being a lawyer (I assume).

This seriously needs to stop, so ****ing pathetic to make those jokes over and over again when it was obvious the first time that he didnt care. Come up with something clever or dont comment at all.

I'm assuming so too. Lawyers luckily do seem to have lay prestige associated with their job even when they shouldn't (not automatically at least) due to the fact that the job gets glamorized to many in pop culture, but I'm guessing his career is more interesting than mine will be.

[Henry17]

His career is certainly more interesting than law. So is pretty much everything but law is one the small number of professions that just gets you bonus points. It is mostly based on the myth that lawyers make a lot of money and have a secure future which is really only true of 5% (maybe 10%) of lawyers.

[LKJ]

Yeah there's that myth too. That's all tied into the pop culture thing too, I think.

This is interesting, because in Germany law isnt that prestigious. Lawyers (and architects) got the highest unemployment rate after their studies, it usually takes like 5-7 years to be a complete lawyer and the average salary is among the lowest as well.

You basically have to score really high one time (there is one series of exams that is really important, before that you got one that is also important, but other than that your grades are irrelevant) to become a big shot lawyer where you will earn really good. If you suck at those, you'll be a traffic lawyer or cab driver.

[LKJ]

That's really not far off from reality here, but most people are blissfully unaware of the reality.

(Hey, I'll take it...I mean, assuming that I'm not part of the big bloc of unemployed people.)

[Henry17]

Not the testing but the pay is like that here as well. In Canada if you don't get into one of the seven big firms or a prestigious boutique firm you are pretty much done. Even at a good firm you still make considerably less compared to what people in big law make in the States. Something like 35% of graduating students don't get ardicling positions. Then even if you get into a sister firm you are still working 70+ hours a week for $120-150k which is pretty low given the time invested and the hours worked. It is only if you make partner 6-10 years later that you start making decent money.

Alley McBeal and Boston Legal paint a different picture though so that is what most people think law is like.

COED BATHROOMS? SIGN ME UP FOR 200K DEBT PLZ

[Henry17]

I was the last year before law school tuition became deregulated so $13,500 total for all three years and that included allowing me to take courses outside the law school. I think tuition for one year is more than that now.

[LKJ]

I hate you.

[Henry17]

Worse was the people one year below. They were paying $12-15k/year while because my year had started with $4,500/year we got grandfathered so they were in the same classes but paying 3X as much.

All my degrees combined were about $60k which from what I understand is about what someone pays for 1.5 years at a good school for undergrad.

[Dyenimator]

It depends henry. Mostly on in state vs out of state, but usually 60k is enough to get one through their bachelors.

[diskoteque]

i think american laypeople no longer consider lawyers prestigious. i can't tell tell you how many times i've had this conversation:

person: what do u do?
me: i just graduated law school
person: oh, did u find a job yet? (almost always includes a story about their cousin who is jobless for 2+ years)
