I have a date and I'm terrified!

[ProfessorPickles]

I wish I wasn't so nervous
The date is next Friday and I'm scared already!

He seems lovely and I'm worried my nerves will ruin it, I'm going to buy a new outfit though, have my hair cut and go for a few runs the days before in the hope to boost my confidence!

My main worry is that he's really into fitness and I'm a bit overweight and flabby since having my DS.
But I suppose if he doesn't like me because of that I shouldn't care!!

Any first date stories or tips would be good!! Preferably positive ones

I have kind of bad news for the date but I'm worried I'll out myself!!

Purple circle, I would buy that book

I have kind of bad news for the date but I'm worried I'll out myself!!

Do tell...

Sorry to hear that pickles x

Bugger that's a shame. I'm a bit worried I've outed myself lol

It isn't exciting bad by the way haha

Just plain bad! Basically he cancelled and now regrets it and wants to rearrange to meet up, his reasons have been genuine and fair so I think I might!

That's not too bad pickles, give him another chance and see if he goes through with it this time. If he makes another excuse then I wouldn't bother with him any further. Have you rearranged yet?

Yeah not too bad, I was a little embarrassed telling my friends and my parents, they felt sorry for me haha

Trying to organise a day now to rearrange. He better be worth the hassle

I'd give him a chance. Men get nerves too. But no more after that.

I once had a bloke cancel 3 times because of his daughter each time. I told him he'd better hope she'll keep him company in his old age cos at that rate he's gonna be a lonely old man....I can't stand being messed about or lied to
For the record I think he wasn't that bothered about me

I'm going to give him one more chance but no more after that!
I have a bad feeling about him now to be honest but who knows I could be wrong about him and go meet him and think he's lovely still!
So we shall see

I will update once we have seen eachother!

Well the date was last night and it went amazingly well!
Although not quite as well as your first date Penelope

He's a genuinely nice person and I'm so pleased I went! With him cancelling before it put a bit of a downer on the idea of meeting him but he was worth it, I've had a lovely evening.
He even asked if I wanted to see him again so happy days

Amazing! I'm so pleased for you. You never know.....

Thank you drum drum
I've been feeling a bit down for the past few days over something else and this has really cheered me up!

Ahh so glad it went well! It's all good practise and if something more comes of it that's brilliant.

We have met up for a second time and it was lovely, he's a proper gentleman so I'm happy, makes a change from my ex's!

We seem to have a lot to talk about and have similar opinions on things, although we are complete opposites in other ways too.

He's shown an interest in seeing me again so things are going well so far
