So...

The (potential) man of my dreams is coming with me to a Thanksgiving get-together tomorrow. We're not quite at "dating" status yet, but I'm very interested in that. I don't date boys all that often (out of choice!) but I'm becoming all insecure about it all of a sudden... Do I wear a sexy outfit? Or casual, yet trendy? Do I worry about my friends telling him crazy stories about my past? Or do I forgive them and deal with the outcome... I'll take any advice I can get!!

since you are not at the "dating" stage I would go with, trendy and kinda sexy. Leave a little mystery for him to want to figure out. As for your friends well you know how friends can be, besides if he hears about your past and decides to put his tail between his legs and run, then he is not a man. Cause a man will not worry about and judge someone on their past.

I am? Now I'm nervous. Are we having the traditional popcorn and toast?



Well I guess my advice is be yourself. Wear what you would normally wear and talk about what you usually talk about.

What did you mean by this?

You are insecure about not dating anyone so you feel the need to date someone or you are insecure about this paticular fellow? Also, does the first line mean that you normally date women? Am I reading too much into your words? I am very tired.

Sweetie! If only you weren't so shy... Maybe YOU'D be coming with me...

lovemachine said:

You're reading too much. I'm insecure cuz I'm insecure. I just don't date much. Partly cuz I'm a shy gal and partly cuz it takes a lot for me to be interested enough to spend my time on that. I lead a busy life. And no, I don't date women.

I didn't think so (you dating women) and I hear you on the time thing. Like I said...I'm dead tired. Good night girl.

I like your new avatar. The last one kind of scared me.

But it was Carrie!! Sissy Spacek Carrie!!

PS- Thanks Jess (is that right?) for the advice! I hear (read) good things about you!!

be yourself...then if something is meant to happen it will...and you'll save yourself a lot of potential drama later on

All you have to do is be your sweet, gorgeous self my dear. Any man who deserves you will love you regardless of what your friends say or what you choose to wear.

CarrieMpls said:

Yup that is right...Jess I am and I always hear and read good things about you too.

Put on a short skirt with a black thong and bend over a lot!!! Just kidding!

You are planning too much so something will go wrong. Just be yourself. Wear something you would normally wear on a date and let your friends be your friends.
