The idea was to play Bocce ball and grab dinner. I called the destination earlier in the day and there were no open courts until much later in the evening. She drops by my place and I explain that if she is married to the idea we'd need to wait. She wasn't. I suggest we pick up food and watch a movie / play a game / etc. She doesn't explicitly reject the idea however I can tell it instantly made her uncomfortable, setting the tone for the remainder of the date. For example: I sit down on my couch and offer a seat to her, she elects to sit on the floor, she doesn't take her coat off, etc. Though the conversation was fine, the vibe became so awkward that I eventually say "you seem really uncomfortable" to which she replied "I am uncomfortable". In an effort to get her to explain why this might be I needle her a bit, to which her reply is always "I don't know / I'm not sure / etc.".
At this point - about 30 minutes in - I think "**** this" and tell her my intent is not to make her uncomfortable and that perhaps she would feel better if the date ended now. She declines. ****. Fast forward and we pick up a pizza and return to my place to eat, which she does with her coat still on. Eventually she opens up a bit and confesses that she's uncomfortable because she interpreted my offer to "stay in" as a ploy to try to have sex with her (duh)... and that suggesting to stay in on a second date at my place makes me a jerk. While not banging certainly isn't a deal breaker, that she's so hung up on 'social mores' and 'dating convention' bothers me, especially so given that it was not the impression I got from our first date. I spend the next hour to hour and a half talking about myself until, thankfully, she eventually says she should go.
If you're actually interested in her, I'd suggest being honest. Based on what you've told us, I'd email and say "That was awkward and weird and largely my fault for not having a backup plan and for us winding up at my place, which naturally gave you the wrong impression. Do over?"
The problem is, she basically nailed it. And so if all you wanted to do was have sex, I agree you just let it go.
