Bit panicky. Last week I registered with OD site. It's a bit more 'up-market' than the usual POF. I'm a tad cynical as I've been stung before by dating this way.
So, I was walking through my high street last Saturday morning and I bumped into a guy I've known for a few years, I don't know him very well, it's a small town and lots of us know each other loosely with small groups of closer friends mixing and then everyone tends to go to the same events sort of thing.
He looked a bit embarrassed and said, "oh this is weird scotty, I've just seen you on" . I was a bit embarrassed too but we chatted and walked along the street until the end of my road and then I said goodbye. So then he says, "well like I said it was a bit weird seeing you on the site because I was going to ask you for a date".
So I said "yes why not" and we went out last Saturday night to a mutual friends birthday - there was so much dancing going on it wasn't like a date really. Anyway he asked me for a second date and I said lets have coffee the following weekend (tomorrow). So that's the plan.
Let me say now. I have a track record of getting involved with the wrong kind of guy and ignoring red flags. That's why it's been a week between date one and date two with no contact in between - I've read the Loving Him without Losing You book and I'm in there so trying the principles out. First one being take things slowly.
But this is all very strange to me. What the hell do I say? To add what I feel is pressure the rumour machine is well under way and I'm getting texts from friends who are all wanting to know if we snogged etc etc. He's nice, well thought of, but I think I need some advice on how to sit and have a conversation with a guy!!
