My ex husband was a very good looking man...need I say more!!

You do feel nervous leading up to that first date. I was really nervous when I went on my first date since H & myself separated, but I soon relaxed once we were out, and I met him again last night for date number 2!

I say go for it!

I've had a few internet dates and ime the ones with no pic or bad pics turn out to be the nicest men

One takes an awful picture and is drop dead gorgeous in real life, stunning in fact. No romance but made a good friend and now keep setting him up on dates with friends lol

You can't get the full picture from a picture. Some people have a twinkle (i know what I mean) and that is only seen when face to face

Go for it!

mojosmum · 27/08/2007 19:07

Wow! I can see why you may feel nervous then! You will be fine once you get chatting though.

So...tell us a bit more about him!

mojosmum · 27/08/2007 19:35

what you want to know?

OP posts:
Pinkchampagne · 27/08/2007 19:40

How long have you been talking? Has he recently separated too? Has he got children? Do you have lots in common?

I am just nosey!

mojosmum · 27/08/2007 19:50

So you already know you have things in common, which is a good start!

I think you should definitely go on a date with him. You may really click with him, and if you don't, just put it down to experience & don't meet again.
You must report back here after the date!

mojosmum · 27/08/2007 19:58

ive got a week get

so what do you wear for a 1st date when you dont yet fancy them?

OP posts:
NKF · 27/08/2007 20:06

Stop thinking about it. Set up some more dates. It's meant to be fun not turn you into a nervous wreck.

Pinkchampagne · 27/08/2007 20:11

Lol @ what do you wear on a date when you don't fancy them! you may well fancy him before the night is out!

What you wear depends on where he is taking you.

mojosmum · 27/08/2007 20:15

OP posts:
mojosmum · 27/08/2007 20:16

OP posts:
Pinkchampagne · 27/08/2007 20:23

I would say jeans & a nice top.

TheMoistWorldOfSeptimusQuench · 27/08/2007 20:38

Or whatever you would ususally wear on a night out to the pub with girlfriends - not sexy, but something nice that you feel comfortable in

allgonebellyup · 27/08/2007 20:39
