Just because I wanted to be the person to start it really

Welcome one and all.

Sounds good to me too, an offer would be nice Maybe he wants to stay in bed all day before going to 'refuel' somewhere nice on the evening?

I'm going crazy, it's 3 hours before I meet Mr Guitarist, it's way too early to start getting ready, need something to occupy myself and distract from the nerves!

Crow, you're not meeting him until 11pm??

Nope he's working late. It's not a conventional date ;)

Ooh that's exciting! Good luck

You lot are funny part of me thinks 'yep sounds good' but another part of me thinks that having sex in the day and then having to go and do the school run is a bit..... ick!!

He has booked a lovely looking pub/restaurant for dinner in the evening though and I have bought myself a nice sparkly dress to wear

Ah girlie you will go on the school run glowing ;) ..
sparkly dress sounds fab

Santa hope you're having fun!

Crow 11pm bloody hell! This is a first date right?

girlie do a bed picnic!! (all day in bed with snacks and drinks on hand so you don't have to leave the room at all!!!). Just talking and sex and sex and talking. Yummmmm.

Ivedunnit Do you have a 2nd date arranged, or are you waiting to arrange one? Do his messages invite response (ie have questions in them?) or are just bare minimal reply to be polite?

Niceguy is over at mine tomorrow night. We've already reached the stage where he is keeping a toothbrush here. I am calm and cool and collected. Calm and cool and collected!

Hi All
I'm home! Had a lovely meal but he's not the one for me. Whilst I think he's probably a nice person we are poles apart in our views on some things. Actually the whole date was just too damn heavy, I like it to be a bit lighthearted, some banter, teasing especially this early on, but no I had the whole evening with him discussing religion and how he likes to challenge people who come to door from various religious factions. How he gave his then 8 year old son a detailed explanation of what ky jelly was for when he asked him. Apparently he thought he was being open and honest to explain the whole sexual lubrication thing, actually ky isn't just used for sex being a nurse I know that.

Then it went on to which charities he supports, the smaller lesser known ones then finally 20 mins on how if he had the money he would set up help for Irish women to come over for terminations wtf! Everybody's entitled to their views but hell I just wanted some fun tonight

Gosh that's a late date, crow. Hope it's fun.

Hope your date's going well, Santa

girlie I agree that sounds nice, but maybe suggest a lunch date or something if you prefer that? Sounds like things are going well! Things are going well with geeky, thanks. We seem to have got over our hiccup. He said that no one has ever really 'got' him the way that I do.

He texted me asking if I wanted him to book something for Friday. And do you know what, I do. I've never really made much of the day before, but I want to go out with geeky. So we're going for dinner.

Oh oneday I'm pleased for you. Obviously in a very calm and cool way . Sounds perfect!

Also am a bit down because just nipped on match to have a look if Mr Bricky online and yes he is. God I hate this online stuff

Oh Santa - we must have cross posted. That's a shame about your date. Don't give up on Mr Bricky yet - it might not mean anything at this stage.

I am normally quite happy to be a listener as opposed to the one doing the most talking, but god I was bored, I was saying in my head "will you just shut up"

Wow Santa that sounds very heavy! Oh well, come on Mr Bricky then!! How did you leave things with Shiny?

Yay dont, hope you have a lovely V-day.

I have to admit the toothbrush thing is what triggered the freak out the yesterday. The first time he left it here, I texted him to say, oh you've left your toothbrush, and he replied saying don't worry I'll be back for it. He's been back 3 times since....looks like the toothbrush is staying then.

It was quite awkward as he was hanging around as I was looking for my car scraper , then he asked if I'd like to do it again and on the spot I said yes I'd let him know when I was free. I will text tomorrow and say I don't think we should see eachother again. He would drive me insane, I really couldn't have all those heavy conversations all the time

Santa, did Shiny ask you anything about yourself and give you a chance to talk, or did he just go on and on and on all evening?

Maybe Mr Bricky will be a bit more of a laugh.

mademan he pretty much went on and on and on and on ALL evening. I DONT want to see him again. Whilst I am looking for a serious relationship I still want a laugh.

Absolutely jarlin totally agree laughter is so important. Last night each time I tried to lighten the conversation by making a joke it seemed totally lost on him. Although he seemed to find his own boring anecdotes funny

Santa sounds like you had a fun date!!!

Jarlin - the slowburners are sometimes the keepers

My second date is on thursday night with Mr Cuddles (I've decided to call him that as he tries to get the fact he can't wait to cuddle me at least once every text message exchange), we're going for something to eat but he's starting to annoy me constantly texting about wanting to kiss and cuddle. I love affection as much as the next person but I'm finding this all a bit too much too soon.

We are going for something to eat but he did also say he prefers going for pub grub rather than an actual fancy restaurant, which is fine I insist I pay my own way but coupled with the fact he keeps saying he can't wait for all these "cozy nights in" I'm begining to think it's not the romance he's after it could just be he's a cheapskate!

For 'Cosy nights in' read 'nookie'! I would find that offputting too Cynical after just one date.

Yeah that thought has certainly crossed my mind too, but he does seem really nice in person which is why I decided he was worth a second date.

This will be the decider though if it's just nookie he's after I'm thinking he's going to suggest a "cozy night in" for date No 3.

If he seems nice it's definitely worth a second date to get a better fell for how compatible you are.
The 'cuddles' is really code for sex too imo! maybe he's trying to gauge you by your responses. However, he may well be just the affectionate type and is looking forward to the closeness a relationship brings...just a bit early to be going full swing with all that sort of talk though...by text too.

Where's Crow? I want to know how the late night date went!
