Update - this date did show up and has no pregnant sister, twins or lumps in womb

[lnging]

So back from date and tucked up in bed!

Had a good time, had loads to chat about and wasn't awkward at all, chatted so much that by the time we had decided we were hungry they had stopped serving food!

He's already been in touch and suggest we go out to eat next time!

I'm not sure what to say, I had a nice evening, enjoyed his company and definitely would like to see him again and he also seems keen. Other than that I'm not sure how I feel there wasn't amazing chemistry were we wanted to rip each other clothes off... but then again not sure if that's real and that's what you want from first date anyway

Oh I remember your date.

Txt msg confusion, you went anyway then hung out with the chef at the restaurant while he ‘helped his sister deliver twins’?

Having loads to talk about is pretty good. How did he explain the original date disaster?

Yay! Great update.
Stick with it a bit longer. I always remember a colleague of mine that had a terrible first date with a man. He was late, didn’t sound like there was a spark etc etc. Next time I met up with her they were full on head over heels in love and moving in together!

Glad you had a nice time. If you'd like to see him again then do so and see if anything develops.

Sleight OP never met up with the twin baby guy after that. This date is a completely new man.

In 2012 I went away on holiday with friends between my first and second date with someone I met online. When one of my friends asked how the first date had gone, I honestly answered that it was ok, he was nice, chatted a lot but maybe he was a bit posh for me...
In 2 weeks time we’ll celebrate our 4th wedding anniversary with our 2 daughters (3 and 1 yrs old). Don’t underestimate the importance of having something to talk about. Oh and he’s still a bit posh for me!
