I have a date. Gulp! Am nervous as hell, and a tiny bit excited.

[YourHandInMyHand]

I don't think I've ever been out on a proper date, my past relationships have been with people I've met in a platonic way eg work and have got to know them gradually.

I've been single about 3 years and I'm so nervous

• about the date going badly
• about him seeing me again without beer goggles on and regretting asking me out
• about opening myself up to the possibility of being hurt
• about my child ravaged body if things go further!

Also my child has autism and I'm not sure when to slip this into conversation.

Good luck!!

Enjoy it, its a night out if nothing else!!

Let us know how it goes....

How did you meet him? :-D

Thanks girliefriend

ProtectiveMother I met him whilst on a night out, we got chatting and he asked if he could have my number and take me out.

Am still very nervous!

He won't regret asking you out. Remember you're amazing (I'm presuming you are anyway as all single parents are.) Take off your clothes or leave them on as you please but remember that you're worth more than the sum parts of your physical appearance. I'm jealous- I'd love to go on a date with someone I find attractive so enjoy it- if only for those of us who haven't quite made it to the dating stage! Also remember- you're able to do this! In fact, you do dates all the time! (Ahem!) ;-)

Tell us about your date!!! :-)
