I've just plucked up the courage to do internet dating after 4 years of being single.

I have a date tomorrow supposedly but he hasn't made any arrangements re a time just a suggestion of where we go and what we do.

I don't want to push it in case he isn't interested so do I just leave it and wait to see if he contacts me?

I hate this!

Sorry I have just seen this! Have you been texting him / talking? Just say something like, "so are we still on for tomorrow? What time do you want to meet?"

Ooh I'm excited on your behalf, I can't remember the last date I went on! Let me know how it goes!

Minime85 · 16/04/2014 21:36

I agree with silly

deerkitty · 16/04/2014 21:36

No online. Will do it now and if I don't hear back then it's a no go.

sillymillyb · 16/04/2014 21:54

Woohooo!!

Jeans, nice top and heels?

Bananasandnutella · 16/04/2014 22:14

Depends where you are going and what kind of time?

Minime85 · 16/04/2014 22:22

yep, jeans heels and a nice top. if just a drink maybe more of a casual top than dressy. good luck Smile

deerkitty · 16/04/2014 22:23

Pub after work so work clothes.

Well I'd maybe spruce lips and eye lashes after work and maybe change a piece of clothing? If it's literally just a drink straight from work you might feel too dressy in nice heels? But then if it's a night is still young....who knows Wink

Make sure you smell nice (with perfume I mean). Guysalways comment on perfume.
Just try to relax and be yourself. Im excited for you :0)

deerkitty · 17/04/2014 07:48

Ok am wearing:

Dress that falls just above knee by itself is quite dressy but in wearing a little black cardigan on top buttoned up so it looks more like a skirt .

Black tights, ankle boots with a heel.

Perfume check
Make up bag check
Clean pants check

Will keep you updated via live feed tonight xx

Cupid5tunt · 17/04/2014 22:57

The clean pants jinxed you! I'm assuming it wasn't great?

Minime85 · 17/04/2014 23:09

not good then?

deerkitty · 17/04/2014 23:13

It was fine and pleasant. I don't know what I was expecting.

Practice maybe?

OP posts:
deerkitty · 17/04/2014 23:14

Meh

That's the word I was looking for.

OP posts:
Cupid5tunt · 17/04/2014 23:22

Definitely a practice date. Could be worse, I met a guy couple of weeks ago seemed lovely, we arranged a date for next week and he's gone borderline stalker! So now no date, call screening and text avoidance Grin

whitedoorbell · 18/04/2014 07:56
