Date with a guy from online dating tonight.
Originally the plan was to come over to my town (20 min from him) and go to beach /couple of drinks,now he is saying after the beach go to his town for drinks.
I said why? It's going to be a hassle for nothing.
He is insisting ..
I can't help but think the thinks if he gets me drunk near to him il go back to his place with him.
What do you reckon?
I want to stay in familiar surroundings first date

The corny jokes about cards sound like lines from CSI.

Hope you're having a lovely time.

Olympiathequeen · 19/08/2017 19:35

Red flag for me is someone who won't listen to your reasoning and accept your concerns I'd cancel

DearMrDilkington · 19/08/2017 19:38

No, no he doesn't want sex. He wants to play a game of poker.
Geddit?
And when he's finished I bet he says bingo.

Crying with laughter Grin.

Hope all is well op!

Hope it goes well op!

all sounds fine to me, be aware and alert, its a date no need for any real alarm. however just say, first date... lets keep to original plan, stay in home town where you have 'escape' route and tell hm maybe next time (if there is a next time) you could go to his town.

Kellyo31 · 20/08/2017 07:38

Hi guys-sorry I didn't check back in I was getting ready and then went straight on the date.
He was actually a nice guy,totally different in person.
Stayed in my town,it was too cold for beach and windy so went to pub BUT I don't fancy him in the slightest.
We got on so well but for me no sexual attraction.
With my ex I immediately had that excited butterfly feeling but no not last night.
He asked for a second date,which I think il try (because you never know) but I don't think it's going to do anywhere unfortunately but on the plus side he wasn't a creep /loony

Glad it went well! And that he wasn't a creep. Always worth a second date or two, you ever know if he will grow on you Smile

SleepFreeZone · 20/08/2017 09:34

I filled out my finance on date 1, he persuaded me to go on a second date and we are now five years and two kids in 😂

SleepFreeZone · 20/08/2017 09:35

Filled out my finance lol 😂😂😂. I honestly don't know myself what that was supposed to say!!!

ClopySow · 20/08/2017 10:13

I'd definitely go on a second date. He might be a grower.

LuLuuuuuuu · 20/08/2017 10:55

Yes he may be a grower but even if not romantically , nothing wrong with a good male friend.

Glad it went ok for you OP

Gwilt160981 · 20/08/2017 12:44

Was he the full deck of cards?

HappyUnicorn · 20/08/2017 14:50

First date with a chap who I really did not fancy, not at all my type (he was a good boy, I only liked bad boys) and thought he would be ideal for one of my pals, so we stayed friends, love grew between us, so we got together, I became pregnant early on in the relationship and we have been together for 16 years, still really happy, we were great friends and really got to know each other. So you never know,OP....

Spangles1963 · 20/08/2017 16:40

I think if a guy is expecting sex on the very first date,it is definitely not a good sign,never mind any of the other stuff.

Elendon · 21/08/2017 11:15

So happy that your date was a pleasant evening. However, I think that it's way too much to expect meeting a stranger after texts to totally make you get all loved up.

I do know someone though who on first sight knew he was the one! She did say his style of communication previous to the meet up was so lovely and it turns out he and she had an instant attraction. She thinks they are the exception to the rule.
