Dating advice for a man third date.

[HeresMe]

Hi
Just after a bit of advice.

Going to have a third date next weekend with a lady I'm a bit smitten with.

Had a great couple of dates second date, no awkward silences just lots of chatting, she's vegan found a nice place to take her and I ate vegan too.

At end of date I went for hug ,and peck on cheek, I'm pretty sure she went for a kiss, haha ended up a sloppy half kiss.

Third date is just before valentine's Day do I get flowers. Do I greet her with a hug.

I'm old enough to know better but want to do things right.

Another for

Not to house. Too much. Buy small bunch of not red Rose's from a florist.

Not a cuddly toy either.

Good luck!

I second small vegan chocolates.

Chocolates are better than flowers. I think you can see from the thread that some people love flowers and other people find it too much! Once someone brought me flowers on an early date, I then had to carry them round town all night with people yelling out to ask what he had done wrong that he’d had to buy me flowers to make up for

Can't get to hotel Chocolat before the date but depending on when she wants to meet I can get to nearby shopping centre if arrive early ( which I do).

I'll see how it goes, to the asexual haha neithier if us are asexual (I've wanted to jump her bones since met her) some people just take it slower than others, but think this is date to make a nice move.

I'm a bit scared she might see this as she's a mum and it's Mumsnet , I'm childless but I've not put anything bad I hope.

You sound lovely.
Just don’t turn up with a huge bouquet of flowers. I’d run a mile..... a huge smile and a hello hug would be nice. If it were me, anyway.

Thanks wobble , I'm not good at this stuff as you may have guessed

Bloody hell, hand wringing over flowers and chocolates makes a change from the usual cheating and lying posts

I find one person who wants to be with me sorry

Monty Bojangles do a lovely box of vegan truffles and they sell them at Tesco!

Instead of sending flowers why don’t you get her a lovely plant she can take care of?

My now partner surprised me with a huge bunch of flowers on my doorstep one night when I was out with a friend. I was so taken back by the gesture it was lovely.

You sound really smitten, and so does she. I hope it goes well

@Sunflowersok I'll have a look in my Tesco, plant seems good, hope she's as smitten as me who knows, but third date she must like me for some reason.

Thanks I hope goes well too

1. Any woman would feel like a dick all date walking around with flowers.
2. She's vegan, likely cares about environmental issues, so cut flowers might seem a bit meh!
3. It's a 3rd date, so preasants not required at this stage, make you look desperate and quite frankly, embarrassing Just carry on as you left off in other dates, if things hot up, have condoms at the ready without her needing to ask, that's always appreciated and reassuring 😉

@Opentooffers I'm not. Counting my chickens yet but good tip

How did it go OP?

Was going to get her something but she arrived earlt, so did t get chance.

I didn't make A move im horrendouly shy,don't hate on me o the myself more

Nothing wrong with being shy, OP. If you didn't make a move, maybe she wasn't sending those signals. Much better to wait a little than to push it.
