- don't talk about ur ex's
- meet him somewhere (don't give exact address of ur home/work/hang outs, just in case you NEVER want 2 c him again) Plus if u r in ur own car u can cut the date short at any time.
- don't ask him about his $$ on the first date, or his car or houses etc etc
- don't ask about really personal things like bankruptcy LOL or child payments or baby mutha's LOL
- Try to think positive and b confident at all times because if u don't ur body language is going 2 send him negative messages and that looks unattractive (men like confident women!)
- Make sure u let him talk about himself and don't take over the conversation it should b 50/50
- Don't eat anything that makes a mess (Pasta, soups etc etc) if you get nervous and make a boo boo it might turn out 2 b really cute or really pathetic LOL
- Don't kiss on the first date!!!! give him something 2 work 4! maybe on the second date or 3rd u will-- but NOT THE FIRST!! LOL
- no NOOKY!!!!
- relax, have fun, talk about ur hobbies, childhood, career (NOT ur career goals!!!! u r not interviewing for him! LOL just talk about basic stuff that u do at work!)
- don't talk about having kids!!!!!
- don't talk about how his place is too boyish and "needs a feminine touch" LOL
(he's single -- his house is not going 2 look like ur place, boys r messy!!!)


that's it 4 now LOL HEHEHEHEHEHE

I agree with pretty much everything here, except for "Don't kiss on the first date...".

If I went in for a kiss and she backed-off, I would read this as a lack of interest and move on. Doesn't mean you have to taste each other's tonsils, but if he tries to kiss her and she refuses it either looks: (a) like she's not interested or (b) like she's prudish.

If I like a person I would accept a kiss. I refused a kiss from this guy because I didnt like him. I guess he took it as a challenge cuz he wouldnt stop calling

This suggestion is for the fellas:

Whenever you go on first movie date, its best that you don't jerkoff off and then grab the box of popcorn.

The one thing you have to always remember is that your date
is not all about pleasing and making the right impression on
the guy/girl.

Firstly you have to admit to yourself that you are quite an
ok catch and that you're worth every ounce of attention.

Don't go to your date attention-hungry and seeking for his or
her approval for anything that happens on the date or not.

After you've ensured yourself of your worth, all the other
things kick in, like no farting, no nonstop talking and
no spitting food etc etc etc

What he just said

It's all about you, if you have to put on a load of airs and graces to make them like you, it isn't going to last. Be yourself and RELAX, this will be the biggest winner. You have already chatted so let the conversation lead the way, have fun.

Don't know whether it has been said already, haven't read the whole thread.....but here's my advice:

don't talk too much about yourself!

My ex-girlfriend did this all the time and, unfortunately, this is what broke us up! Too bad, still think of her.....

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. Unfortunately our meeting has been put on hold. He left me a message last night but wants to try for next weekend. I'm fine with that. At least I found out the night before and not today right after work. So when it happens, I'll let y'all know.

If we end up having dinner, I will make sure not to eat salad or broccoli. I always end up having a piece of greenery on my teeth.

Besides from the farting thing, if it was meant to work out, it will, if it wasn't, it won't.

Btw, i'm always charmed when a woman gets totally sloshed on a first date. Unless she throws up in my care. Or wants more than a short-tirm fling. Just so ya know :d

Good luck!

Is anybody ever bothered by silence? After about 10-15 mins of going back and forth on various topics, I think it's good to take a moment to build up the discussion, and not talk just to prove that you can. Some talkative people like to go on and on and on with stories and whatnot to the point that I get drained from listening and I just need a moment to take it all in. Sometimes the silence leads to a misinterpretation of interest.


omg yawn omg I'm sorry... I must've drifted off, somewhere around: "Some talkative people like to go on and on and on..."

Personally, I feel that it's best to remain calm and remember that if this doesn't work out it's not the end of the world. You won't necessarily be forced to live in a van down by the river. Failing the fact you do in fact already live in a van down by the river which means that you would then move by a small pond, thus making dating a bit of a harder option. Perhaps you should look into a dating service that could specialize in those with like interests? If I had a van down by the river, perhaps someone else has a Gremlin with limited miles and restored hubcaps that happens to live in a Winnebago because they are on the higher tax bracket but not beyond the income of the local hobo. I bid you good luck.

Hell if I know. I'm in a happy relationship.
