Dating advice?

Took one first date to a football match as she was a massive football fan, turned out she was completely mental when at football gave us something to chat about after though lol

Dont get to drunk, mate ended up in A&E after trying to impress one girl on first date

Thats cracking advice (not the A&E bit). You do get serious brownie points for crafting a first date that ties in with the interests of your company for the evening. You do have to have a degree of prior knowledge to make it work of course – I’d taken the pish out of my better halfs driving for months. So our first date was a trip to the local kart track and an hour or so bashing away at each other.

That lead to a nice meal on the way home and several pleasant and amusing hours, over a few glasses of an agreeable vintage, debating the relative merits of her fluent driving style and my victory! 🙂

3 years later she still hasnt forgiven me for not letting her win, but, we have a great relationship!.

Women are frightening. If you make it to 41, you’re quite battle-scarred.

I couldnt take a girl to the football. Just wouldnt be right. When you work around it all day it’s to much.

I have always used going to the football as my chance for some space away from her. 😀

Somewhere I can mess about with my mates. And I dont feel I could behave in the same manner.

Still waiting to hear from cloud_9………

It seems I will have to step back onto the dating scene myself, as my owing to a rather upsetting breakup. Any advice from peeps who have had to get back into the swing of things after a long(ish) break?

HAHAHA

Ok…am rather :oed to be posting about this particular issue on an open forum, however, I am hoping to get some sensible advice on ‘do’s’ and ‘dont’s’ for a first date, and as to where I could/should take someone…cinema, restaurant, drink at the local…any suggestions?

Would be good to hear from any female forum members to know what you like/dislike most about a first date?

Joke aside, how did it go?

I once tripped over a step, in the process throwing red wine over a “date”. Turned into a cheap night as I didn’t have to buy dinner…….

I dont find dating that hard now, been at it to long and had too much practace haha :p

Taking the gf (girl friend) out saturday not sure wear tho. Couldnt do sunday duxford haha :p

I find it harder going up to someone but once youve broken the ice and seen each other once after that its alot easier

Agreed be friendly, yourself and flirty if the situation allows. Had a tremendous first date last Feb and still seeing the same lady. She had some dates prior and it sounded like the OH had a few oddballs!

Apparently touching a womans knee on a first date is pretty bad….usually it’s a non-verbal sign that you want to get more serious….was on a TV programme I think.

Perhaps ask the wise people on ‘4chan’ as i can think of no other internet site as usefull for these sort of questions – just make sure to ask in the ‘random’ section 😉

Looking at some of the responses here, I think the best possible advice would be ‘never ask an Internet forum for advice on dating……’ :diablo:

I would take Gray’s advise more than anybodys,mind you Iam also on a Man United forum and somebody asked the same question on there ,you should of seen what was said to him on there,make the replys look like a Sunday school on here.
My advise would be enjoy your date,be yourself and dont get drunk 😀

Be a good listener…..and that doesn’t just mean let her do some of the talking; a week later, hopefully on a second date, she’ll expect you to remember where she went to school, her sister’s name and whatever else she told you about herself. If you’re really interested in her remembering all this shouldn’t be difficult and an ‘oh, you remembered!’ is always worth points.

My two cents, for what it’s worth.

I like this one the best. As you converse try and find mutual interests.
Remember, when you are getting acquainted, expect surprises. For example, I met one of my wife’s distant realatives, a 40 year old female, and when I asked her what she was doing it turned out she had just retired from the USAF as a Captain after 20 years of service, starting out as an Airman Basic. But most of all if you want to move on to more dates let her do all the talking about herself and what her interests are, where she’s been, and be sure you compliment her on whatever she’s wearing. The more you remember the better off you’ll be.

always remember..asking for dating advice on an internet forum is like asking for IT solutions at a McDonalds. 😀

Yep. We’re all either unable to get a date, or were caught so long ago we’re escaping to a computer . . . . Almost 8 years, for me.

Well, what happened?

She already knows I’ve got a warped sense of humour, so I’m thinking a wee social drink would be a good start!

don’t forget your chainsaw and the gorilla. 🙂

As it happens, I may be going on a date soon with a girl I’ve met a couple of times (friend of a friend thing).

is this some sort of british humour that i am not getting? :confused:

Reminds me of a recent night out in Newcastle…:rolleyes::dev2:

You must have been on some really strange dates….. :diablo:

You ain’t from round these here parts boy ! :D;)

As long as the mother chips in her share of the restaurant bill… And does she sit at the same table or one adjacent ? 😮
