Overheard: Awkward Date

Here's an excellent example of what not to do when on a first date. The two people in question didn't seem to know each other prior to the date, so I'm guessing they met online. The following conversation happened towards the end of the date.

Guy: So, I don't have a lot of time to waste on dating. I've got a really hard, important job and sometimes it takes me two hours to drive home. So I don't have a lot of time. I'm sure you don't either.
Girl: Uh...
Guy: Sometimes people can tell right away if they're interested. So I'm wondering if you're interested. I mean, you know, a lot of times you can tell right away when you meet someone whether or not there's chemistry between you. And if there's not, that's OK. That happens, you know? When you're dating sometimes you just aren't interested. But you can usually tell pretty fast. So I'm wondering if you can tell if you're interested in me? Because I'm sure neither of us want to waste time.
Girl: Well, it's kind of hard to make an absolute decision right away.
Guy: OK. Well then forget about chemistry. Do you want to see me again?
Girl: Sure.
Guy: Oh! Oh, that's great. Then we both had a good time on this date. That's amazing. I mean, I'm really picky. And I'm sure you're really picky too. So that's really something. Are you nervous?
Girl: What?
Guy: Were you nervous, coming on this date?
Girl: Not really. I was still pretty tired, actually.
Guy: Oh. Oh, OK. So after you had your coffee were you nervous?
Girl: Um... not really.
Guy: Wow, this is great. I've had a really great time with you.
