| What is on your mind when meeting a woman for the first time? Posted: 6/9/2008 1:08:30 PM | 1. How are you feeling immediately before meeting your date for the first time? What are you thinking?
Nervous. "Don't **** up, don't **** up, don't **** up.
2. You watch her walk into the lounge, what is the first thing you notice about your date?
Her height, haha. | |

| What is on your mind when meeting a woman for the first time? Posted: 6/9/2008 2:33:02 PM | Wow, great responses.
I guess for me, I am more concerned about how I will look to him. Will he think that I am fat? Will he notice how nervous I am? Will I sound like a total nerd? Then hoping he has a shot of tequila waiting for me to down so my hands stop shaking. I'm not a drinker but it sure does help.
As for what I am thinking about him. I hope he has a good sense of humor and really hoping his pants fit him. Then I think to myself, be good Sharon and absolutely no sex.

1. How are you feeling immediately before meeting your date for the first time? What are you thinking? Damn, I shouldn't of had those two beers, now I have to piss like a russian race horse. OK, there is an exit over there and over there and the bathroom has a big enough window. I wonder if my cat is OK at home alone. God I hope she is cute and has a good sense of humor.
2. You watch her walk into the lounge, what is the first thing you notice about your date? 1. O crap, she looks nothing like her picture ... how the hell can someone's hips be so out of proportion? Which exit is closest? Can I make it before she sees me? I wonder how pissed she will be if I flirt with the waitress? 2. O thank god she looks like her pic. Wow, those are incredible "EYES" she has.
3. If you care to share a dating experience, I'd love to hear it. Being discreet and not using names would be appreciated... 1. Met for coffee. Seduced her with my humor (while flirting with the waitress -- go figure), went back to my place for drinks. She kept me around for more then 6 months till she moved out of state for work. 2. Met for coffee, listened to her talk about her ex for an hour the whole time trying to get a word in edgewise. Left. Sent her a text saying we just aren't right for each other, but thanks for letting me buy you a coffee. | |

| What is on your mind when meeting a woman for the first time? Posted: 6/9/2008 3:33:14 PM | 1. How am I feeling? I'm probably in a bad mood because I'm hungry, plus I'm emotionally spent from going through the usual cycle of caring/not caring and all the overthinking that goes with it. On the outside I appear cordial but probably a bit distant.
2. When I see her walk in, the first thing I notice is hair. Does it match the hair in the pic?
3. My dating experience went alright. She didn't look much like her pic, but she was a nice person. We talked well, but didn't have much in common. The food was pretty good. I didn't see her again. | |

| What is on your mind when meeting a woman for the first time? Posted: 6/10/2008 6:34:56 AM | In answer to the OP's 3-point query: 1) Before the meet I feel elated, anxious, giddy, and electrified - some say nothing beats the moment of anticipation... 
2) When she walks into the lounge the first thing I notice is the physique (who are we kidding, a photo just doesn't clue you in as to whether you'll dig them physically). After that split-second top-down scan is done, I look to her eyes and facial expression for signs of kindness and warmth... 
3) As for sharing dating experiences, if you're talking about ones spawned from online means, they've been so-so for the most part. A good portion simply had no spark to begin with because I couldn't get a clear body profile from their photo, others we simply didn't have as fluent conversation as we did online. There were a few good ones spread in between, some became friends, others dropped off the map... All in all, women I've picked up in real-life FIRST (e.g. parties, clubs, speed-dating) tend to go over better... Thus far  | |

Although I do not believe I have ever really had a bad date, I have to agree that the old fashion way of meeting new people does go over better. The first man I ever dated from an on-line dating service is still my friend and my all time favorite date. We both realize that if given the chance, we could have a good thing going. However, I realize he is still "sowing his oats" even at his age. When he's ready, if ever, then maybe we'll find our way. Meanwhile, I am still looking to see if I can find that sparkle. | |

| What is on your mind when meeting a woman for the first time? Posted: 6/11/2008 6:36:25 PM | WILSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
Oh thank GOD I FOUND YOU WILSON!!!!
Oh, Sorry, I digress....
Hmmmm...Going back a couple of years, and from my POF experience, I'd have to say that I have only met 2 ladies from POF with "dating" interests. The rest, as friends.
So, with that in mind.....Lemme' regress a moment....
Ok, I felt pretty much the same as I would now when meeting someone. I hope they can handle my honesty, forwardness, humor, spiritual demeanor, sensitivity and just plain "ME". And then immediately following them thoughts and feelings, I spend the entire time concentrating on our comfort, safety, chemistry, interests etc etc.
Predominately, "comfy" zones are to the fore for me. I don't worry about what people think of me until they actually know me, and then it's their problem what they think, not mine.(Respectfully)
Safety and comfort are key. Knowing what women and people in general (i.e.- law enforcement, store clerks, and especially women) have to contend with and be weary of, I have that in mind, and worry about little else aside from the bonding process itself. And that will come naturally.
God Bless, Scott. | |

| What is on your mind when meeting a woman for the first time? Posted: 6/11/2008 6:40:31 PM | Ok, unforunately I have had a number of "first dates" from online... my thoughts now are pretty basic:
#1 - I hope she's not insane and wouldn't try to follow me home. #2 - Would be really nice is she wasn't wasted (on whatever). #3 - Wonder if she'll talk about her ex all night... #4 - It would be nice if she looked SOMETHING like her photo LOL
For every nice girl out there on the net there has to be at least 20-30 nutjobs, I'm not sure what the actual odds are... I'm still counting LOL | |

| What is on your mind when meeting a woman for the first time? Posted: 6/11/2008 7:43:38 PM | As I sit there, immediately before she shows up, I'm thinking that the prices at this restaurant are outrageous. She'd better be prepared to pay my way. Otherwise why does she think I put on all this make-up -- to appeal to the waitresses?
As she walks into the lounge, I fill my lounges with air. I feel like a man, an invincible loving machine, with the occasional mechanical failures. I lounge at the first opportunity to compliment her on her choice of co-ordinated hair color and hearing aid.
My dating experiences:
You did ask me to be discreet, and not use names didn't you. This'll learn you not to be such a prissyhead about other people's honour. | |

Posted: 6/11/2008 9:50:53 PM | Who says that we want a one night stand? if she is interested in news/current affairs, finance, economics, politics and the sports and she keeps up by reading up on them in the NYT/WSJ, etc etc, then we are more than likely to be able to have a meaningful convo, before and after, and keep it going for weeks, months even years! lol But most do not! lol So back to "just sex"!!!! lol | |

ALL men will size up there dates looks and rate if it is acceptable by them. If she looks like anyone we know we go down a trip of memory lane, if its a complete stranger we visualize how we would seduce them.
If all checks out, then we give a chance to the person and are willing to get to know them. | |
