I am going on a DATE. I am 50, newly single and I need help to get ready!!!

It’s next Sunday, we are going around a gallery/stately home type place. I have never met him in real life and my confidence has just ebbed away!

I’m 5’8” very too heavy size 18 and blonde. I have good hair, a nice face and then it starts to go meh the further down I go.Blush

So far I think I’ve settled on a maxi dress with a small sleeve, bit of cleavage at the front, but not sure about footwear. Or anything else for that matter. I’ve got one good hoik-em-up bra.

Help. I really don’t want him to be horrified and leg it. I mean, I know he’s a nice person and that’s unlikely but, well, you know...

‘Because I’ve washed my cock’ Grin

How could you refuse OP!?

Shuffleuplove · 17/08/2021 16:32

@Wishingwell75 how does one start blogging? I’m clueless!

Back to matters of style:

Footwear. My options are

Suede slightly platform loafers, black
Knee high rocket dog boots, brown
Brown leather square toed ankle boots
Crocs
White trainers

Ooh the loafers sound chic - will it rain tonight and spoli them, or are they weather-protected?

Shuffleuplove · 17/08/2021 16:45

We will be mostly indoors and I’ll whack a bit of scotch guard on too

Please keep this thread going, with regular updates and a link to your dating blog…I’m still giggling about ‘I’ve washed my cock!’ Hope tonight is going well.

Whatliesbeneath707 · 17/08/2021 21:55

You are conspicuous by your absence OP. I hope that means you are having a great time!
The burning question here is: had tonight’s date washed it?! 😳

Window1 · 17/08/2021 22:43

No update yet. Feel like this is one of those no news is good news scenarios.

Enough4me · 17/08/2021 22:50

Hopefully great date so they have talked all evening with no presumptuous cock comments

LizzieSiddal · 17/08/2021 22:58

Oh this looks promising.

MareofBeasttown · 17/08/2021 23:17

This is the best thread ever!

Shuffleuplove · 18/08/2021 00:39

I’m back! Met him at 6pm, left at 10, so home for 10:45 and he rang me when he got in and have just finished talking now.

Oh my God.

So, I think he’s a bit shorter than advertised but tell you what, he’s got swagger. Wink

DoubleTweenQueen · 18/08/2021 00:41

Yay! I can go to bed now :D

Shuffleuplove · 18/08/2021 00:42

Ha! I’ll have to have a cold shower! We snogged like teenagers. Blush

A fantastic update 😁

Whatliesbeneath707 · 18/08/2021 06:52

Wonderful @Shuffleuplove. So pleased for you. And a snog - just perfect. You will be on a high all day! Enjoy it. 😁

Window1 · 18/08/2021 07:19

Sounds like a great date and he's obviously keen to have a good smooch and further chat after you got home. Great update 👍

LizzieSiddal · 18/08/2021 08:24

Oh lovely!

Positivelyrandom · 18/08/2021 08:45

Excellent news @Shuffleuplove, thanks for letting us know.

Shuffleuplove · 18/08/2021 09:53

Re style : he wore-
Mid blue sort of cargo/chino type trousers which fitted perfectly over his very nice bum
A handmade shirt with a tiny monogram of his initials above the cuff
Good leather brogues.

He sounds delicious! Very stylish.

maxiflump1 · 18/08/2021 13:00

I love these latest developments! Have you heard anything from him this morning @Shuffleuplove?

DoubleTweenQueen · 18/08/2021 13:11

@Shuffleuplove Sounds well dressed, and clearly made a thoughtful effort!

GoldMoon · 18/08/2021 13:29

His initials - were they M & S ? 😂
