I have a second chance with an ex-girlfriend and don't want to mess it up again

Hey guys,

 

So basically I dated one of my very good friends in college for about 5 weeks before she broke up with me, the thing is she is probably the best thing to ever happen to me and I really want her back. A few of the main reasons she broke up with me was that 1) We're too different and 2) We don't have an emotional connection.

 

I would agree that we're different but definitely not incompatible. She is a free spirit ,gorgeous , quirky, music and animal loving person. While I'm a semi nerdy, athletic, crude humor, neuroscience/premed kinda guy.

 

As for the "emotional connection" part i really don't know what to do about that. I thought we did have one, we use to spend hour upon hours talking to each other late into the night and not even notice the hours go. I know she feels for me because when she broke up with me she cried,and took it hard. And when I asked her back she was trying very hard to hold back the tears while she was saying no.

 

After about 3 weeks after the breakup I grew some balls walked into her room with a dozen roses and asked her back. We had a talk 3 days later and basically she's still set on the fact that theres no "emotional connection" , her feelings haven't changed and just wants to be friends.

 

After talking to her for about an hour I convinced her to let me take her out on just one date and if she doesn't feel anything then I'll stop pursuing her, and settle with just being friends ( though I don't think I can live with that). Basically she is set that this date is not going to change anything for her and only agreed to it because "it would make me happy"

 

So basically I'm throwing everything I have on this date ( theres no set date for it but it will be sometime after thanksgiving) and I need help with ideas on what to do. I told her I would take her to dinner and a night of dancing (because I feel that peoples true emotions can be shown on the dance floor)

So I really need help with a few things mostly how can I build an "emotional connection" with her and how can I make this date amazing for her and what to do , wear, bring her ect. Its all or nothing.

 

I go to college in New Orleans so if anyone knows anything about good restaurants or dance clubs that would be helpful.

 

Also money isn't an objection for me but I don't want to take her to a really fancy or expensive places so that she'll think I'm trying to "buy" her love.

 

 

Sorry about this being a long post.

 

THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!!
