Without reading this, I met a girl at a bar, danced, and we exchanged #’s. We talked the next day, and I suggested that she come over to my place and we make dinner together, have some wine and get to know each other and have some fun. She was open to the idea, and it went perfectly. we laughed a lot, messed up the kitchen, and went to the rooftop overlooking the city, and really got close. We finished the night well, I will spare the details, however it was good. My problem now is that it is really diffiult to get some kind of response from her. We have been texting, and saying how much we want to see each other again, but it is left open like “we’ll get together again sometime”. I am confused, and this was the most perfect date I have ever had. I left the calls for 3 days after our night not to seem needy, and finally reached her, and we reminissed, and she said it was great talking to you but I have been busy, she still said “I had a great time, we should do this again sometime”.

My Question is, How do I ask without seeming pushy when that is going to be?

I think we have real potential, and excellent chemistry.

PLEASE HELP ME SEAL THE DEAL AND MOVE TO DATE # 2!!!

When I DJ’d at nightclubs back in college, 90% of my records were supplied (free) through my local record distrubutor/promotor — who were using the “night club” as a way to introduce music to new listeners and expand record sales. This process worked for everyone. The record company supplied music to the Entertaiment Venue who paid the ASCAP/BMI fees. The Venue drew customers by playing music that drew and audience and that audience bought drinks at the establishment and a portion went on to purchase the music they heard. The artist received money from the recording label, the venue, and record purchases from the audience.

The big difference now is “streaming DJs” also pay for all the music they stream.

The DJ pays for the music, pays to stream it, pays royalties on top of that.

Everyone seems to “win” in this business model expect the DJ. Seems that we should revisit the legality of “payola”. You want me to play it so you sell it? Pay me instead Mr Record Promoter instead.

However, If I choose to play music that I purchased for the listening enjoyment of my friends in my home, virtual home etc., that is entertainment, not profiteering.

Running a stream into a private SL residence should in no way require the need to pay licensing fees and royalties — and the respective legislation needs to address this concern and where the line of distinction between business and personal entertainment exists.
