I have a date next week - no alarm bells ringing for me - what you all think?

[veryexciting]

Im actually very excited.

Nice, normal looking man, year older than me. Lives in the same town. Works in a good job.

Has own house and 2 children who he sees regulary. Pays maintence and does children type things with them.

Seems to have hobbies, and an actual life, is funny, and intelligent.

Gentle flirting, no sex talk, no webcams, nothing inappropiate.

Have been emailing for 2 weeks. We met on a dating site, and hes not been back on there since we have been emailing direct.

Only thing is he is seperated, 8 months ago. I know this to be true as im on his facebook and twitter.

I am also only seperated,just havent done anything about the divorce, though am very much single.

What do we all think?

noone invested. Am cool as a cucumber.
Just midly excited about actually going on a date with someone who may be normal

Sounds lovely :) Do come back and tell us how it went!

I would hope alarm bells weren't ringing before you went on the date - if so why would you be going.
Just go and have fun, if it turns into more lovely, if it doesn't you have had a nice night out.
It's not the rest of your life though, it is a date.

oh - ive had alarm bells ringing before dates before and then either gone, or cancelled at the last min.
Or When you agree to meet and then they just turn weird. Or you think they just generally are odd.

Am fully aware it is just a date am just overly excited as its a date with someone normal.

Sounds fine to me. Stay safe, and enjoy!

he sounds too normal - there's definitely something up!!

hopefully you struck lucky!!!

Nope, no dodgy smells at this point. Go have date, enjoy. This is Mrs Cynic herself talking so it must be ok.

Look there are normal men out there on dating sites too!! Have dated quite a few and the worst I have ever had have either been plain boring or just after a shag. But lots of lovely men too.

Remember to keep safe and go and enjoy
