baddad Report post Posted November 21, 2007 Don't sit at the back... don't indulge in anything of a snogulatory nature (unless you want to) Don't eat the popcorn if he holds it on his lap Don't say 'ooooh those hot dogs in the foyer look really nice - can you buy me two or three in the interval?' Don't take a friend along for moral support Wear clean undies (in case you get run over) Have fun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nic m Report post Posted November 24, 2007 Well, cinderella is home! film was good but a bit long. he was very handsome and very much a gentleman. The accent was very strong! i had a nice time, we talked a bit before the film it was easy talking to him. no butterflies though? He said to me as we walked out the cinema How are you getting home bus or taxi? then said i have to work in the morning so i need an early night! I said taxi, he walked me to the taxi rank and he said he would maybe give me a call through the week as he is not busy the next two weekends at work. Now ladies and gents, what do i do next? I am not very good at game playing, but i am so unsure about dating that i need help with the etiquette. I am out of my comfort zone and its a bit strange, so any advice would be great. p.s. it did feel good to be out on a date so i may need a bit more practice. thank-you all for your support.

Frangipani Report post Posted November 24, 2007 (edited) Hi Nic <'> <'> Just take it slow - enjoy the courtship. <'> <'> <'> Edited November 24, 2007 by Frangipani Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clare63 Report post Posted November 24, 2007 Sounds like a good start...... I like a gentleman. Just take it one step at a time. You say "no butteflies though" what you do mean ? 1) you weren't nervous or 2) you didn't feel the excitment/chemistry ????? Clare x x x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pearl Report post Posted November 24, 2007 Well loon pants were in fashion when I last dated so wouldnt have a clue. He sounds a real gentleman though, I would have taken the early night comment as a reassurance he wasnt going to try anything on. I spose you could text him to say you enjoyed yourself, then leave it up to him. I'm picturing James Nesbitt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nic m Report post Posted November 24, 2007 Well ladies and gents i got a text today to say he enjoyed my company and he will call through the week! woo hoo i feel better now. Clare i wasn't nervous bit i also did not have butterflies! i think because i had told myself so often that it did not matter the outcome. I do like him though, i dont often agree to go out on a date, and i did have a wee smile on my face when he texted. I think he is a gentleman, and pearl he is short haired, blue eyed and his accent was fab. (a slightly younger version of jimmy nesbit yes i think so, minus the curly hair.) Thanks for all your interest this is making it more fun. Frang, i think i like the idea of that. Nic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clare63 Report post Posted November 24, 2007 Nic, Sorry if I was being nosey, didn't mean to pry. So glad he's texted, he sounds lovely !!!

Nic m Report post Posted November 24, 2007 Clare i did not think you were nosey, i like your interest. i feel quite silly saying these things aloud. i think if i had lots of time to think the poor guy would be swamped with texts from me but being a busy mum i have only just managed to get my wee bubs to bed so he will hopefully not realise too soon what he is letting himself in for!(my renewed teenage crush stage) Clare you are a lucky girl jimmy nesbit is swoon material, your own version of that is great.

pearl Report post Posted November 25, 2007 a slightly younger version of jimmy nesbit oo I feel old now. Jimmy Nesbitt IS young to me! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nic m Report post Posted November 25, 2007 Pearl you have made me laugh, he is 30! but looks younger than that! so only a slightly younger version. when he originally asked for my number i told him he was wasting his time as he was too young! i thought he looked about 23/24 but now that i met him again i'd say he looks about 28, i on the other hand am always being told i look older than my 34 years!

hev Report post Posted November 25, 2007 so pleased it went well now when i say i want all the goss i mean ALL the goss!!when he text you to say he enjoyed your company what did you text back?im not even gonna apologise for being nosey either,i love romance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nic m Report post Posted November 25, 2007 i said back to him it was nice to meet you properly and i had a nice time too!i also asked if he had recognised me ( i approached him at the cinema he was waiting for me) he replied back he had not as he had consumed a lot of alcohol that night! So i can only hope his continued interest is a good thing! Nic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clare63 Report post Posted November 25, 2007 Awwwww Nic, thanks for sharing all the goss, makes me feel all young again. My Mr N is 5 years younger than me and not even 40 yet, so guess I am a lucky girl Looking forward to the next installment. Take care Hun <'> Clare x x x x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nic m Report post Posted November 25, 2007 I do hope i have something to update you on soon! And guess what My ex has just called to say he wants to take our dd to blackpool for new year! first time ever, his family have been doing this for years but when we separated he still continued to go down there so i have never been out for new year in the last 9 years. I have a feeling someone is looking out for me this year! Nic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
