Quick back story. Meet a girl at a bar this weekend we hit it off exchanged numbers. I called her yesterday to see if she wanted to grab dinner one night this week. Left it open ended because of her work and her needing to find a sitter for her daughter. She said she only had tonight free then shes working straight till next monday i said fine and she said let me see if i can find a sitter. She sent a text about a half hour latter saying we were on and what time worked for me. I named a time and asked where she wanted to go. She didnt really have any input so i suggested a place and she was fine with it. So were on for dinner latter tonight.

Now its been awhile since ive meet someone in person and not online. We also havent had a lot of contact what is above is the extent of any conversations weve had except for the first night. I feel like im going in blind to a point which is fine but feels odd.

So wise ones any last min tips.

You sound like you did fine in person when you met her and mentioned no trouble in finding things to talk about etc... You talked on the phone and quickly arranged a date.

Sounds like your doing fine so far with no help needed from this bunch. We will only confuse ya.

Tips huh??? Condoms, Condoms, Condoms. (wink)

Relax you will have a great time.

Best of Luck

Thanks Cowboy it just feels odd since so much has gone to online sites ect and not having a bunch of communication before hand if you get what im saying.

If anyone was interested i think the date went ok. She looked amazing and i made sure to tell her so. Good conversation well she talked i listend and got a word in where i could. She said she was nervous because this was the first real date she has been on in a long time. Ended the night with a hug and her telling me to call her and not be a stranger. Only time will tell where it goes from here.

Wasnt getting the vibe so didnt really try for one. Not the first time ive had a good first date that ended without a kiss. One of my longest relationships i didnt get a kiss till the 3rd date over a few weeks.

Glad you had a good time!!! Don't wait too long to ask her out again!

Knowing she has a long work schedule ahead of her.........maybe ask her to dinner for her next day off? She was obviously keen on going out to find a sitter on such short notice. If you ask her soon, she'll have plenty of time to work that out!!

Good luck!

I agree that you should call her soon. Lots of guys want to pull that wait 3 days to call crap, when actually we are waiting for you to call and hoping we didn't blow it. :)

That's great OP.

Hopefully this is another success story in the making.

As for the not kissing on first date, everyone is different I am actually very shy when it comes to dating. Maybe your date is as well.

You and me both Smexi. Ive learned alot over the last few months and from reading here. Im not going to rush or force anything just let everything take its natural course and let the cards lay where they fall.

Looks like a may be getting a second date. She told me the first night she wasnt big on texting or talking on the phone she likes it short and to the point. Thursday sent a text thanking her again for a great time and if she would like to repeat it on this monday. She replied back awhile latter saying let me find a sitter. I left it at that no contact till today woke up to a text saying she might have a sitter and would a like to get a qucik bite then go bowling . Fine with me and let me know if you do get a sitter was my reply.

Sounds like you are doing just fine :) My only note of caution is... while taking it slow is good as she seems nervous in an excited way, don't be totally laid back. Be sure to show some excitement yourself. Like, when she texted back saying she prob had a sitter and with definite plans, your 'fine with me and let me know...' seems lukewarm. If you have enjoyed the dates thus far, a little 'yippee' would not go astray! It is possible that the whole not rushing/pressuring your date can seem like disinterest.

The very best of luck. We do love a success story :)

Well second date went well early dinner then bowling had great conversation again and didnt run out of anything to talk about the whole night. Had so much fun bowling not taking it serious at all. Ended the night with a little kissing already planning on seeing her again. We both talked about what we were looking for and were both on the same page. Taking it slow and just letting things take the natural course, we were both kinda worried that the other was a clinger and were ready to slap a title on it already.
