First ‘first date’ in 15 years tonight, eek!

As the title says, tonight I’m going on my first ‘first date’ in 15 years. I separated from my husband at the end of last year and have just got myself back out there on the OLD apps. Been talking to a nice guy on Hinge and we are meeting this evening for a drink. I could be sick, I’m so nervous! Any first date tips or advice from anyone? I will check back in later with how it went 😬

Hello @TotemPolly it’s going really well so far thank you! We had a second date on Thursday, to the cinema and for drinks afterwards, and we went out on Friday too for a walk and lunch. Seeing each other again on Monday. He seems lovely so far and we get on well, have similar life goals and values etc. I really like him. 😊

Edited

That's great .

Fab just don't move to quick. Does he own his own home. Don't 4get men without this fall in love and love bomb quickly. My relationship I've just ended lasted 2.5 years and was my first following divorce and I was emotionally neglected etc and was happy with the attention etc he moved in far to quick. Anyways it wasn't a good fit and on reflection moved to quickly.
