Second date tonight and nervous!! AIBU to ask for your advice?

[DailyMailFuckOffNow]

Disclaimer: already got a thread about previous date.

Got a second date tonight with someone I met on Tinder. We had our first date last week.

I'm totally new to dating (and relationships, actually, for a variety of reasons ), and quite scared.

Although he seems very nice and we got on well last time, I really want to take things slowly, especially considering that we don't even know each other yet(!!)

AIBU to ask for your advice please?

Where are you going?

Be you.

It's cliche but if you're not you then you'll just waste a load of time being something else until it gets boring and you can't keep it up.

MrsTerryPratchett we're meeting at a pub near where he lives (which is also on the right side of town of me). Aargh just feel a bit antsy and nervous.

Thanks so much Arkangel :)

I probably should pre-eat I get antsy when I'm hungry!!

Haha, at the pre eating.

When I was dating last I used to amaze men with how much food I could put away.

They'd always say the "oh finally a girl that eats" and id be like "yeah, I'm sure you'll be loving that when I'm eating half your Big Mac because I didn't think I could finish my chicken mayo..."

I'm a terrible dater. Boys are scared of me,

Arkangel. I could honestly eat for England 😂😂

Be yourself and have fun!!! If you pretend to be something you aren't, they will find out eventually anyway. Good luck OK!

Op* not ok

Be yourself and have fun.

Don't try and order a salad, because you feel you should. I have a gel at work who did that. Complained about it after too. Order that steak!!

Just relax and try to enjoy yourself. Order what you actually want to eat. Have a glass of wine or two (assuming you're not driving!) but don't get sloshed, that's never a good idea as I may know from experience and have fun. Remember you are finding out about each other and whether or not you like each other enough to have a third date.

Good luck

Good luck! I've got a second date tonight too. Will be driving so no wine here. Just be yourself and you'll be fine.

Thanks everyone! :)

Heading off now! :)

Ooh good luck @blackistheneworange!! Hope you have a lovely time :) x

Just posting to update you all and thank you all for calming me down before yesterday evening :) the date last night was fab - I had such a nice time! Thank you all so much for your advice and reassuring words :)

How was your date @blackistheneworange? Hope you had a nice time :)

So glad it went well!

Date 3 already planned here.

Lovely!

You do know there is a very long running (several years in fact) dating thread over in Relationships?

Amazing @blackistheneworange :)

Glad date went well. I know at some point I need to get back into the dating thing but all too scary at mo. I’ll wait til kids grown up 😀
