The problem occurred when she asked, "Junior or Senior?" You should have responded with a question, "Why do you ask?" Then, you could have said, "Junior, I think" -- or you could have had a longer conversation about the asshole who liked Hank Senior. Or, you could have just kept buying her drinks as a way to extend the drink, and then invite back to your place.
Before I go getting one of them 2-way headset radios so that you two can help me out with all future conversations with the fairer sex, I have some questions.
Eigga: When it became clear that the Ball and Chain gig was not an option, do you not think I tried the buying more drinks option?
Coyote: Is there not a possibility that with your answer the young lady would have concluded that I am annoyingly pedantic? And if not, and she had then accompanied me to the Ball and Chain gig, wouldn't the ensuing suicide attempt have been something of a bar to further ardor?
It is explicity stated in Dating for Dummies that one should not talk about either their ex or suicide on the first date. I suggest you give her a copy, underline the relevant bits, and ask her out again in a couple of weeks.

The problem occured even earlier than that, ma'am.
When she asked, "What do they play?", he should've answered "fiddle and guitar". (Or possibly "sousaphone and harmonium", I dunno.)
But he would've avoided the whole wrist-slitting Hank controversy altogether.
