    Dating Advice

    Hey guys, I'm back on the dating scene and I've got a couple dates lined up for next week. I'm just wondering if you have any advice, it's been a while and I'm kind of nervous. I think I have a good personality and I'm a humble person but I just want to make sure I don't throw up any red flags.

    One date is with a doctor who seems pretty cool and down to earth and another is with a very successful person that I have actually known for about 12 years so I'm not to worried about that one since I already hung out with him this weekend.

    Both of them just left to go out of town and will be back next week so at least that gives me a little bit of time to get it together!

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Good for you!

    My strategy is to go to a nice restaurant bar for a first date. That way you can bail after the drink if he's a bore, or stay and sit down for dinner if you're enjoying yourselves. Plus, you'll get an idea on date one whether they're well mannered and also get to know some of their likes and dislikes... Always be prepared to pay, although if he has any class he won't let you.

    Just be yourself. If you aren't it will only come back to bite you in the ass.

    Like said above, just be yourself. So many people try too hard to be funny, attractive, or whatever on a first date which normally always turns out bad. If you are confident and calm the date will go much better.

    If you need me to take one of them guys off your hands for you just give me a call.

    lol DSM

    I don't really have any advice I'm not much of the dating type so it would be unfair for me to spew something out. Goodluck with your dates!

    screw the bar and dinner

    go to a cafe or a bookstore with a cafe. grab a coffee, sit in comfy chairs and chat. chat for a bit till you feel comfortable. then maybe go for dinner. or play some pool or something.

    that way you can chat for a bit and if hes a bum or your bored, say you gotta go. that way your not forced into sitting through a whole dinner and having to wait till its over to leave.

    by just chattin in a quiet cafe you can get to know them better without dinner and waitressess and so on interrupting you. its just you and them and a cup of joe.

    get a feel for them and decide where you want to go from there

    and not back to your bedroom kats... hahahaha J/K!!!!

    love ya hun!!

    Look pretty.

    Guys have to worry about more than girls. Basicly if you just look cute, pay attention when he talks and don't be a bump on a log you are fine.

    Looks just matter more to guys than to girls.

    guys can create attraction easier than girls

    QFT. I frequent a car forum and everyone who posts relationship questions always have later threads about how they were cheated on, dumped, or otherwise put out of their relationship. The posting of the question seems to be a very accurate predictor of a bad outcome. I'm not saying, I'm just saying . . .

    But like stated, just be yourself.
    Too many people try to be things they aren't. And this leads people to like the fake shell people put on, then everything just goes to shit from there.
    If someone doesn't like you for you, then it obviously won't work and isn't worth your time.

    Awww Dukkit is a player sometimes but he's a good guy and he loves his kitty! Anywho, yeah I'm totally not going to be bringing anyone to my bedroom for sure, and I'm not planning on doing any drinking and making a fool out of myself. It's won't be bad at all with the guy that I have known for quite some time, because at least we won't run out of things to talk about. And I don't want to hear about anyone else's ex so I surely won't bring up the asshole I used to date.

    Thanks for the advice though, I am who I am, if they like me then good, otherwise like Big Sexy said it will be a waste of my time.

    I think I'm going to throw myself into Ketosis for a week and only eat protein and drink water so I can drop about 10lbs so that way I will feel a little bit more confident.

    Since I don't drink it only takes one drink and I'm buzzed and 2 drinks and I'm drunk, I had 4 drinks this weekend and don't remember a lot of it....LOL

    So I might have one just to calm the nerves but that's the limit

    For sure, I think I'm a pretty respectable person so this shouldn't be a hard one.

    just be yourself, you don't need to drop 10lbs, you look amazing(i remember the border patrol pic)

    just be yourself, and if the guy doesn't like you for who you are then say and leave, plenty of guys out there that would want someone as wonderful as you

    If you go to a nice restaurant just get a glass of wine, that way you can sip it throughout your meal and you won't get too messed up..

    If he takes you to a nice restaurant he is interested in dating you

    If he takes you to a bar, well he's more in it for some play

    Those two statements aren't always true, but that's just how i think....


    Be yourself, stay calm, and be confident.

    Don't look in the mirror before you go out and say god i look bad.. Be like damn who's that sexy lady

    Watch my brand new haircut video on youtube, that guy doesn't seem to have any problems

    Let them know right from the beggining you got another date set up. Confront them both and ask them questions. How much money do u have? what will you do for me? what is ur understanding of a relationship? What kinda presents should I expect on my birthday? Christmas? all those things and see which one is the best.

    I can't believe everyone here bows down to this chick to give her "dating" advice.

    Get it straight, guys. None of you are getting or going to get any ass from her so don't give her the kiss ass nice guy advice. If she really takes any advice from the internet she really doesn't have any priorities straight in the first place. Live a life outside.

    no "i love you" or talk of marraige or kids or politics orrr anything.

    Just keep your mouth closed and look cute. Can never go wrong this way =]


    edit: forgot to mention no talk of cats, or how you may have 20 other pets at home. That raises a major creepy flag.

    No way, I'm not that type of person...shit the last person I dated never bought me a damn thing but I bought him tons of crap. I'm just going to take it easy and chill.

    My advice would be to not rush into anything.... relax and be yourself this way he can relax and be himself...don't try to impress them, because if you don't impress them and they want to move on, then happy riddings for some guy that just wants a trophy girl... see what he is about and see if you two click mentally...

    also, don't get caught up in the money or status thing... a lot of doctors are in love with themself and people who make a lot of money buy girls attention all the time... it is a proven fact that money won't bring you happiness.... If you happen to get love and money, well that is a bonus, but start with love first.... That's about all i got for now.

    I bet the guy is thinking the same thing.

    I think you should be thinking about if the guy is a weirdo and be looking for his red flags. It's not like these two are the last two guys in the world.
