It happened by accident. I'm on a dating website and I don't really use it. Occasionally I get messages but they usually consist of 'hi'. I had one the other day and he had actually made a bit more of an effort and was quite witty.
We've had a brief to and fro messaging and it transpires that he and I run identical businesses. Maybe not such a good thing but at least its an ice breaker. So we are meeting tomorrow.
what is the done thing these days ? I will be driving so no alcohol. I'm terrified. Haven't been on a date in years!

Bloody good luck Leclerk.
Hope you have a good time, er maybe not that good. Just don't let it go further than a quick twerk on a first date.

Haha ouch me too! My poor legs get a bit neglected in the winter Grin

summer I don't drink coffee either yet I meet people 'for coffee' all the time. I just drink tea or a nice cold drink!

SO, last night. Well it was lovely. He was exactly as he seemed through text. We laughed and talked about all sorts of things. I felt totally comfortable with him and he gave me a lift home. Came in for coffee and left at half one. He is a great kisser but nothing else happened - he was very keen to ensure that he wasn't taking advantage of the fact that he was in my house which was lovely even if it left me a touch frustrated Blush

A bit sad as I won't see him now for a fortnight as his work commitments and my child arrangements mean it's not practical but I think in this case an enforced slow burn might be an excellent thing Grin

Loved this thread - made me smile LOTS :D
Now wondering who has all 'gone for it' lol

Looking at the dating game myself but really quite nervous about the whole thing - its been a while.
Anyone tried dating sites? Any tips on the decent ones?
My biggest fear is finding my ex or him finding me :-o

There's a dating thread on here which has been massively helpful lovehoneylove. Everyone has been there, done it and has loads of good advice to share.
I signed up to three sites in Feb just for a month, just to dip my toe in the water. I'm off them now as I met someone.
