A date! Holy $#$#

Yep, you read it right. I'm going on a date tonight.

We have spoken quite alot, texted, flirted and now we are going to meet up properly. Its not via a website or anything. We have met before briefly via friends. She really ticks alot of boxes.

I am really determined to stay upbeat and positive. I'm really excited...... but if I'm honest, absolutely sh%$£&ing myself too !!

Any advice, from you ladies in particular will be well received, as its been a while and after such torrid and sad times over a marriage break up I really want to try and get things right...............or at least have some fun together!!

Wish me luck? x

Hi Dad

Wow - how exciting and terrifying at the same time!

Best advice I have to give to simply be yourself - after all this woman obviously likes you, so why be anyone different?

Wishing you lots of luck - and please tell us how the big night went?

Grear news for you!
Just relax and be yourself. Try not to talk to much about any personal problems though as that is a big turn off. I went on a date and we spent alot of time talking about the breakdown of my marriage, I realised this and quickly changed the subject.

dad - how exciting!!!

My 2p worth based on a friend's recent experience .. ask questions about her and her interests without being too intrusive .. and be interested in what she has to say - I am sure you will be!

This friend went on a date where the bloke talked about himself all night while she nodded politely and at the end of the evening said he'd had a great time and couldn't wait to see her again!! My suggestion was that she should only consider going out with him again if he could answer 10 questions about her!!

Relax, have a good time .. and do tell us ALL about it.

Yep

Ask them lots about them listen, smile, lean forward with open body language, be generous of laughter, and then nail her to the wall with all of your pent up sexual frustration!

Did I say that out loud?

Oh no!

Seriously, don’t expect too much, be nice, don’t moan about how crap your life is post separation, and see how it goes, there are plenty more fish in the sea and all that, the rest of your life does not hinge around the outcome of one date!

Good luck

Hi dad,

Just go out and have a good time, be yourself and just let things happen naturally, Poppie

Hey guys,

Thanks for all your input.

It went brilliantly. All missions accomplished including goodmans suggestion !!

Not once did I feel guilty about being with someone else, we had fun, laughed relaxed and in general had a fantastic night.

Its early days but I am hopeful that there is light, attached to some fun and happier times ahead...........................for all of us.

Today, the world is a better place.

I really hope it is for everyone else out there...............if not, lets talk. Thats what we are all here for.

Thanks again everyone. You are all gems !! Xx
