I have a date tonight with a really nice guy, but I have a bit of a silly problem...and i'm not sure if i'm over thinking it or not?
He is only 5'3"...do I wear heels or not?!? I'm 5'5" so therefor taller anyway, but I don't want to make him uncomfortable by wearing heels, but I don't want to wear flat shoes and offend him either.
What should I do??

What would you normally where?. Just be yourself.

NorfolkInGood · 08/11/2013 14:25

Jesus wear not where Sad

If he's only 5'3" and gets offended by tall people, he would spend his life being perpetually indignant. :) Wear your heels rather than stooping to his level.

DontCallMeDaughter · 08/11/2013 14:32

I'd wear flats. Generally more comfy for everyone. And easier if you fancy giving him a bit goodnight kiss Grin

mousseschoice · 08/11/2013 14:33

I normally wear heels, and I have a new pair of shoes asking to be worn.
I'll go with my planned outfit and see where the night takes me!
My friends said I was being daft worrying, I just needed other opinions :)

Wear them.. I wouldn't feel dressed up in flats and you don't want to be in a situation of never being able to wear them .. The best things come in small parcels Grin

Granville72 · 08/11/2013 14:37

We'll if he's on a date with you then he obviously knows you are taller than him anyway and it obviously doesn't bother him.

LadyVJJ · 08/11/2013 17:36

My DH is same height as me (we're both shorties!) and heels kill my feet, so gives me a perfect excuse not to wear them! If you like wearing heels normally, stick 'em on tonight...and if all goes well he can rest his head on your boobs Grin Have fun!

Well... The date went well and we're seeing each other on Wednesday for a cinema trip...BUT...he isn't much of a texter, and I'm starting to wonder if he's really into me?

He dropped me off on Friday night, after saying he wanted things to go slow (fine by me), then text when he got back to say he'd had a good time.
I didn't hear anything from him, and decided to give a casual "Hi, how are you?" text last night, which he replied to and then we made plans to go out on Wednesday. I then asked him if he wanted picking up, and what film did he want to see. I haven't heard a dicky bird since!!

Am I over thinking it all, or is he just not that into me?

The more important question is whether you're into him.... :)

mousseschoice · 10/11/2013 18:41

I am into him, I've never been on a date and been so relaxed, and had a lot in common with the other person.

He did say he's only been single for about 5 months and did want to take things slow.

That's probably why I'm flapping a bit... I am into him :)

mousseschoice · 10/11/2013 18:41

And he's a great kisser ;)

He's maybe just not that much of a tester - I'm always amazed by how much some people on here seem to chat by text.

On the other hand, if its a case of making an arrangement, I think you could send a text to remind him you need to agree a film.

mousseschoice · 10/11/2013 18:47

I'm planning to text on Tuesday to finalise details, and this sounds strange, but I know the date will go ahead, I have one of the good gut feelings about it.
The lack of contact has thrown me a bit :S

OP posts:
GrendelsMum · 10/11/2013 18:51

I think some people text much more than others, plus he may have female friends telling him not to come across as a stalker by texting five times a day! See how the next date goes and base things on how you feel in person.

mousseschoice · 10/11/2013 18:53

If I text him, he always reads it and then replies straight away. I think I'm just going to have to sit tight on this one.

GrendelsMum · 10/11/2013 18:56

Hmmm, outing myself as a total non-texter here, but surely you can't ask more than that, Mousse!?

Rosencrantz · 10/11/2013 18:57

Heels.

But that's got so much more to do with the fact that I enjoy wearing them (and actually don't own flat shoes) than considering his ego.

mousseschoice · 10/11/2013 19:03

Grendels, You are totally right!!

I've been out of the game for 5 odd years, and was/am so used to my ex bombarding virtually every hour confessing his 'love'...One DD down the line and he's now with the OW who's starting to realise she might have got a 'dud'...Grin
