Tonight’s the night

[Shmambles]

DD has to gone off for a sleepover and now I have five hours to wait for my nice new man to come for dinner and a sleepover of our own. First time we’ll have DTD (assuming we do) after three dates over the course of six weeks. I’m excited and a bit nervous!

What shall I do to pass the time? I’m thinking… a bit of meal prep, nice bath, maybe a preparatory glass of wine in a couple of hours. I have the dress chosen and out of the wardrobe. It’s a long time to wait!

Mine pretty much has, to be fair. Ha!

Why? If she's ready, she's ready. Who are we to dictate how long she has to wait to shag anyone. Her child won't be there!

Cringing at the small amount of posters questioning why you’d let someone into your house after three dates/suggesting you hide valuables/saying having sex on the fourth date is premature… I am curious to know how they think relationships begin!
My boyfriend of two years stayed over for the first time on our second date and I’m delighted to announce he didn’t steal any valuables or kill my cat (don’t have kids so that’s the closest it gets 🤣).

Have an amazing time OP, this next couple of hours will probably be torture, but as soon as he arrives all the nerves will be gone and you’ll have an amazing night!

Let us know if you’re alive and still in possession of the family silver tomorrow won’t you op.

OP, just wanted to say you sound like great fun and I hope you have a brilliant night… me and hubby met online, slept together after our 2nd date (😱) and have now been together for 17 years… and have just shagged on the sofa while the kids are out! 🤣🤣 You do you…and him too later, hopefully! 🤞🏻😁🤞🏻😁🤞🏻

Congratulations, that sounds lovely. It’s amazing when things unexpectedly turn out to be wonderful.

I am cooking a Moroccan meatball tagine thing. Honestly deciding what to cook has been more stressful than clothes/grooming/condom buying. I reckon this is pretty easy, interesting enough to make me seem like I don’t normally live off ready meals, tasty but not overly spicy etc. The last thing I want is to look bloated or worry that i taste of dinner!

it’s all prepared. Will take half an hour to cook, and then away we go. I have cheated with dessert and bought a flan thing from M&S but with any luck we won’t need it!

Mine tries against my will. I over did the pelvic floor exercises and now I suffer involuntary spasms that sometimes try not to let anything in. Well it's the exercises or the moody teens that makes my uterus send out the sperm defence 😂

All very well getting your uncle on stand by but you really should get your legal affairs in order?! Decide who is going to be responsible for disposing of the condoms before your mother gets there etc.
Have a fun night OP.
Slept with my husband of ten years on our first date .... Shock horror I went round to his!

Jeez 🙄. I bet you're fun at parties.
Talk about pissing on someone's chips. Urgh, you sound delightful....

Have fun, OP. I'm glad I'm not dating these days if all men are petty crims and want to knock you about a bit!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Don’t think that hasn’t crossed my mind but what alternative is there?! Every food and everything I can cook has some kind of potential horror attached.

Maybe I should just offer him a stick of celery. Although doubtless some would worry he’d beat me to death with it.

Wouldn't offer celery @Shmambles you normally add salt to that and that could be used to blind you before the family silver gets lifted.

Good luck OP! Let us know how it goes. Relax today, the nerves will be torture. Honestly some of the responses on here are insane.

But can you trust your uncle? Risky business doing that!

There is probably some archaic law that allows it. In Sark, a man is allowed to beat his wife to death with a stick, as long as the stick is no bigger than his little finger and no blood is drawn.

I'm so invested. I shoud be asleep (night here).

I wouldn't have a glass of wine whilst waiting for him though.
Because if you have 2-3 glasses together that's the whole bottle and I'd be drunk and then worry the next morning if I said something cringy or was overly enthusiastic during sex 😂

Have you checked food allergies/preferences? Don't drink too much before he arrives. Has your DD had sleepovers before and not likely to change her mind and want to come home? What if he'd rather watch Strictly? Spanx or a thong? Will the neighbours comment on a strange car parked overnight?

Sorry but I haven't done this for a very long time and getting over-invested.

i hope he hid all his valuables!

you could’ve been after hid cuff links or watch!

I’ve been on MN since 2006 (someone will no doubt correct me if that’s wrong). This is one of the nicest post I’ve read. Life is short and there’s so much pain and suffering in the world. Thank you OP for bringing some light into today’s darkness. Hope you have a super evening.

I stopped at a petrol station to buy some on my way to a hook up one time. I’m 50 and had not bought any since my 20s. I bailed and just bought biscuits instead 😂. Luckily FWB had some, although he seemed bemused at why I might want to use them - “I usually just pull out” 🙄

Tagine? I'd be very careful with the chickpeas on a third date... (and the family silver)
