Isn't date 3 traditionally spent in bed?

Honeysucklerose · 25/11/2013 16:58

In bed! Your age should have nothing to do with it Grin

PiratesLifeForMe · 25/11/2013 16:59

I would see if he comes up with something but have something in mind in case he doesn't mind what date 3 is.

What did you do for the first two dates?

Honeysucklerose · 25/11/2013 17:02

I know age has nothing to do with it , just nervous but excited at the thought of seeing him again, first 2 dates we went to Art Exhibitions , 2nd date we had lunch .

No, no...do NOT cook for him yet!

Let him pick the next date and pay for it.

DivingBell · 26/11/2013 09:32

Why should he pay for it MyChild? So that Honey can 'reward' him with sex?!

I am getting really quite depressed by some of the stuff I am reading at the moment - we are now well into the 21st century, but so many people seem desperate to cling on to notions last fashionable in the 1950s.

Honeysucklerose · 26/11/2013 17:10

Okay thanks for the input Mychild and DivingBell, not heard from him since Sunday so dont know if it is going happen the 3rd Date , but I have now decided to let him contact me and see what he suggests..............and take it from there hopefully!

Cinema? (If you don't want to spend Date 3 in bed, that is!)

Honeysucklerose · 26/11/2013 18:46

Horsemad , my thoughts exactly BIG thanks!

OP posts:
Honeysucklerose · 26/11/2013 18:47

And NO I do not want to spend date no3( if there is one )in bed , too quick for me like to get to know someone , call me old fashioned but that is the way i am.

OP posts:
Horsemad · 26/11/2013 20:08

Honeysucklerose · 26/11/2013 20:11

Aww thanks Horsemad , yea could not be rushing in ..................too scared and especially as we met online ...........so thinking tonight He may not contact me again, and thinking oh well least i had 2 dates and feel okay as it has been such a long time, thanks anyway .

OP posts:
Horsemad · 26/11/2013 20:50

Honeysucklerose · 26/11/2013 21:01

OP posts:
Honeysucklerose · 27/11/2013 16:57

If you like him, ask him. If you're not bothered, don't.

Honeysucklerose · 27/11/2013 17:03

Thanks Cogito , yea I do like him we got on really well I thought

OP posts:
Horsemad · 27/11/2013 17:36

Ask him!

If you feel like it's becoming hard work and you"re doing all the running, then back off .
