First date on nye

[Fullofthought]

Been on and off pof for 2 years nearly. Each time I go on I get the same few guys chatting to me but we never get as far as meeting up before I decide that I'm not ready and disappear off again. This time one of the guys has said he would love to take me on a date on NYE for a meal and drinks. He is a lovely guy and would like to get to know him but is Nye a bad idea for a 1st date? Any tips as Ive been out the dating game so long now :)

It’s just an evening like any other. Go for it as long as it’s at a venue that won’t be rammed.

Well it isn't an evening like any other by virtue of the fact it is NYE, I can't imagine anywhere that won't be packed.
It might be difficult to have a half decent get to know you conversation under those kinds of circumstances.
I would suggest a different night .

He may be hoping for snog / hugs / slow dance etc at midnight, so think about leaving early if you're not up for that. Me personally, I'd reschedule it. Hope it goes well whatever you choose to do!

Have you been chatting long? Do you feel excited about going on a date? If yes, I would suggest a phone call beforehand to see if you get along, otherwise dinner could be a long drawn out affair! If you feel a spark when you chat then go for it! You can always say that you want to leave at a set time (maybe book a taxi as it's NYE) and then if it goes well....stay! And you could have a lovely start to 2019. But if you don't then at least you will have got that daunting first date under your belt in 2018 :-)

The thing I remember about last NYE is sharing it with a guy who broke my heart a few months later. Not going to be nice this one to remember that. I would personally reschedule. As others have said it'll be so busy out, and so expensive.

Saying that if you have no NYE plans and he's willing to book something then I guess why not. The only thing is if you're not feeling it, can your really escape before midnight?

First thing I'd be thinking about is how will you get home. Taxi's are thin on the ground round here on NYE and twice the usual price! But yeah everywhere will be super busy I'd imagine.

I live walking distance from the town centre where we would go. He works as a chef in one of the pubs there so he would be able to get a table no problems. I have no plans and I do like him spoke to him on the phone a bit too and we seam to have a lot in common so far. Would be easy for me to "escape" if I needed too at any time during the night.

Oh I wouldn’t first date on NYE it will be too rowdy everywhere you won’t be able to talk!

Fuck it. Go for it. What have you got to lose. Nye is shit anyway. And if you’ve got no plans

Do it!

Plans all set for Nye! Looking forward to it actually he is really nice and caring but mostly understanding.

I’d be suspicious that he’s looking for a snog/shag/general fast-forwarding, and with it being NYE it may be hard for you to get away. If you intend to go, how about making plans with friends for later on so you have a backup plan and won’t feel pressured into spending the actual midnight bit with him?

Well its been cancelled. A nice chill night in with my little girl after spending the day in a and e with her. Lucky no broke bones

Oh dear
