going on first date
Posted: 4/24/2009 11:25:26 AM
hi all. im going on a first date with a gal i met on another site. instead of the normal 'chat over coffee' type scenario, im taking her to a pet farm where both of us can have a giggle, have a stroll around cute creatures etc..
my question is, whats the ettiquette assocciated with meeting someone on a first date. we've chatted on the phone for about three weeks and seem to get on. im just nervous that whatever connection we 'seem' to have will dwindle if i dont handle this date in the correct manner. any suggestions appreciated.

My opinion is simply to relax and enjoy the time you have together!

Be natural!

Well, it sounds like you have a nice day planned out, so hopefully everything goes smoothly. Honestly, don't worry about it so much. If things dwindle, or she doesn't live up to your expectations, then you were obviously not a good match to begin with, and you can just enjoy the day and go your separate ways. Remember, you're just meeting up to see what kind of connection you have in person. It either works, or it doesn't. You don't have to handle anything in the correct manner, or over complicate things, just give it a try.

My god, what a great idea for a first meet! Good job.
Now, just relax and be yourself. Obviously she likes who you are (from your phone conversations). The worst thing you could do is be fake, or not yourself.

Have fun, and be natural....

don't let any hungry mischievous goats become involved with any articles of either of your clothing

Just be yourself. Sure you'll be nervous. And you can bet that she'll be nervous as well. And the animals should make for great conversation, which will help loosen the both of you up. And I have to say that you choose a wonderful way to spend a date.

Sounds like a really cool date with little room for any hidden agendas. Relax buddy and have youself a good time and I'm inclined to believe that she will too.

Just enjoy the date. It will fall into place on it's own, if you two are having a good time and enjoying each others company.

I find the best and most successful dates are the ones where you just go to have fun doing what you are doing together. Sort of like hanging out with one of your friends. That way you are yourself, have fun and not worried about expectations.

Great idea for a first...or any date!

First rule...don't worry or think too much.

Second rule...if the goat starts snuffling your crotch pretend like you're not enjoying it and back away.

Third rule...when walking if she keeps 'bumping' into you accidently she probably wants you to at least hold her hand.

Fourth rule...even if you hate spiders don't make her kill them until you're married.

Fifth rule...be like you have been on the phone.

Sixth rule...if she starts snuffling your crotch enjoy it, and only move away to snuffle hers.

Last rule...have fun and best of luck.
