where are you going?

CountessDraculaPI · 31/08/2007 15:56

i KNOW where you are going
you are maaaaaaaaaaad

zippitippitoes · 31/08/2007 15:59

i don't know

i turned down the first offer which was dinner in "the west end" and a romantic evening in place x

and have made it change to the london eye and not posh food maybe a drink and home..i said i was going to wear jeans for this

but he is going to turn up in a suit straight from work and he has smuggled back in that maybe i could bring a posh frock just in case

i've said no but i think he is going to try for this dinner posh frock scenario again.

being underdressed is far far far worse than being overdressed imo
what about a trouser and jacket thingy?
smar t but not ott

zippitippitoes · 31/08/2007 16:01

OP posts:
zippitippitoes · 31/08/2007 16:02

If he wants you to wear a posh frock make him fricking buy it!

Jeans and a nice posh-like top as compromise?

nailpolish · 31/08/2007 16:02

does the london eye not take An Hour to go round? what do you do the whole time? esp if raining/foggy
take a crossword book zippi

CountessDraculaPI · 31/08/2007 16:03

If you wear a dress on the eye the people in teh next pod will loook up your skirt

It is perfectly acceptable to go out for dinner in london in jeans I do it all the time just wear smart ones and a nice top

nailpolish · 31/08/2007 16:03

do not under any circumstances wear jeans
i forbid you
get dolled up - you will feel fab! it gives yuou confidence

CountessDraculaPI · 31/08/2007 16:04

You know what
this bloke doesn't sound nice
he sounds like he is pressuring you
i would bin him

zippitippitoes · 31/08/2007 16:04

CountessDraculaPI · 31/08/2007 16:05

zippitippitoes · 31/08/2007 16:05

cd what is the london eye like at least it's public

OP posts:
Pinkchampagne · 31/08/2007 16:07

A posh frock ma be a bit dressy for the London eye etc.
How about a nice pair of trousers and a nice little top?

Pinkchampagne · 31/08/2007 16:07

Sorry about my typing - my keyboard keeps sticking!

zippitippitoes · 31/08/2007 16:08

oh i think he thinks i'm going to change into this frock..in the back of his car? in a toilet?

OP posts:
Tigana · 31/08/2007 16:09

Does he want to meet you or look at your dress?

Yes..I may have lurked on the 'first date..apartment' thread - just a little M'Lud.

nailpolish · 31/08/2007 16:09

breeks are trousers cd

Pinkchampagne · 31/08/2007 16:09

Does he now?!

Beetroot · 31/08/2007 16:09

CD pressureising to wear a posh frock is not a crime {wink}

Heenes dp great stuff if you are on a budget

But as CD says Jenas are fine with high heels and posh top for dinner in London

Unless you are goin gto Ritz

He is trying to spoil you fgs enjoy it

What size are you?
