I have a dilemma. First date and golf

[Heshowedmeheaven]

Hi everyone. I've a first date at the weekend but it's going to play golf and I have never played it before. I'm wondering what to wear, first to look good but also not to be embarassed by dressing inappropriately. For footwear, Would riding boots or uggs be ok? It looks like the weather is to be very cold on Saturday so I don't want to freeze. He mentioned the driving range, Is that different to a golf course? Can I wear a hat, scarf and warm coat or will I be able to swing the cue bundled up for the weather lol Any guidance appreciated.

When I say I like him I mean I like his photos. He's very attractive to me anyway.

I honestly don't think I'm ever going to find a relationship at all haha. I have never even been married.

From the further info, I’d say that the golf thing sounds like you’d mutually agreed it. So that’s all good.

But, actually it’s not the golf that’s the issue. He sounds like your standard OLD timewaster. Years of chatting and never actually managing a date. When you did set one up, he let you down at the last minute.

So, I’d set my expectations low about this one actually happening at all.

@BadlyFormedQuestion said exactly what I wanted to say. Even before I read your further update on the history, I was thinking he didn't sound so eager to meet and like you were the one moving it along. The little flirty thing he said about wanting to check out your swing and a wink was unnecessary and would put my guard up for someone who'll just be making sexual references all the time. Your update confirmed this.

I don't hate him. You both seem to be okay with each other. He's probably just pushing buttons to see where your boundaries lie.

I think an activity date is great. Beats the usual interview-type 'sit down and drink' ones. So, as you say, just have fun and hopefully it works out better than you expect.

I have in fact said as much to him. I'll have a back up plan for Saturday going on his past history.

Arrange the date, (hopefully) go on the date and at the end of it you will know once and for all whether this has legs or not.

Life, particularly when dating, is too short to muck around/be mucked around.

Have a great date. Driving range sounds fun.

How was it?
