I’m going on a date!

[MessyNDepressy]

I have a first date today 😬. We matched on Hinge last Sunday and have been chatting everyday since. I haven’t been on a proper date for a long time so I’m quite nervous! I think we are going to mini golf and bowling. He has arranged it all which is nice. Part of me doesn’t actually want to go and would rather stay at home alone with my dog but I’m trying to force myself out my comfort zone 🫣.

Go and enjoy girlie!
Have a great time and report back x

PS
what are wearing 🤔
Always a dilemma x

Op have a fantastic time x

Great stuff. I hope you have lots of fun.

Good luck OP! It’s good to hear that people do actually go on dates after matching on the apps! I have no luck on them. Hope you have a fab date 🙂

Oooh I love a good first date thread.

Yes as PP said, what are you wearing?

Thanks everyone, will keep you updated! So I think I’m going to be boring outfit wise and just wear jeans, a nice top and trainers 🫣. I’ll add a nice, long coat as it’s quite cold here today. Similar to what I’m wearing in this photo.

Good luck! It's promising that he has arranged it all - not just doing the bare minimum.

Good luck on your date,I hope you have a fun time.

Good luck!!

I had a good time, he was lovely and we got on really well but I don’t know if I felt a physical attraction. He was supposed to be 6 foot tall. I’m 5 foot 8 and he was about heights with me, certainly no taller 😂. He also had quite small hands. Undecided if we’ll have a second date, he was definitely keen. He was a great guy, maybe just not my guy. I met up with some friends afterwards so had a good day all round.

So he lied about his height by at least 4 inches? You dont want a liar with Donald Trump hands.

Glad you had a nice time even if you weren’t sure about him romantically!

you weren’t wearing heels were you (benefit of the doubt!) that could have brought you closer in height?

If you don’t feel it then you don’t feel it. No point bothering and adding to his height lies, then it’s just not worth it. I’m sure if you look like you do in that photo, you won’t have any problems getting more dates.

There's lying about height and then there's that! 4 inch off! What a cheeky fucker.

Not quiet sure how height liars ever think their going to get away with it 🤔

I’m not bothered how tall men are, but I don’t like being lied to.

The height thing is such an OLD cliche 🤦🏻‍♀️ So many men do this and it’s such a bright red glaring red flag. Either they’re delusional and don’t know their own height (unlikely), or they think it’s fine to lie to / deceive women in order to get them through the door any which way they can. It’s part of the whole ‘women only want men with three sixes’ mentality. Imagine having the brass neck to lie about your height by 4 inches and swan up like it’s nothing.

It's such audacity.

And you just know if op had politely said 'I'm sorry but you lied about your height so I'm not interested', he'd be giving it 'oh women only like tall men and won't give us short kings a chance waaaaah'

I wasn’t wearing heels, I was actually wearing the flattest trainers I own and he was wearing slightly chunky trainers! I’m not overly picky about height if the attraction is there but it wasn’t and 4 inches isn’t just stretching the truth slightly. I’m kind of annoyed at myself for not saying anything but like another poster said, it wouldn’t have gone down well and it would’ve just been turned on me anyway.

It doesn’t matter anyway as Daniel Craig is here to sweep me off my feet 😂.

Lol xD give him the Gold-finger.

oh, that sounded like a such promised start! well thought date unlike those lazy coffee dates. But lying 4 inches is a big deal.... I would also pass.
Had many men lying about their height. Though I don't mind short men, I get so turned off when I see them and realise that they massively exaggerated their height. Why would I date someone who thinks I am either blind or stupid..

How depressing.

To be honest, pessimistic of me perhaps but when op said crazy golf AND bowling for a first date I thought 'thats a bit much, what's he trying to make up for?'.

And this thread is why we have the "lazy" coffee date!

Half an hour coffee to meet up, see if you both look like your profiles. Then if both like each other arrange a "proper" first date afterwards.

I know there’s a lot of pushback on these kind of dates but I wouldn’t dream of doing anything else. They’re perfect. Can be finished in 30 minutes or can be extended to overnight.
