I am meeting up with someone for the first time on Sunday and I feel horribly nervous and I think they do to.
Any tips on how to deal with those nerves?

Break Wind when you first meet her.


Edit:Or you could focus on the worst possible thing that could happen

Then you`ll still be pleasently surprised when she doesnt even turn up.

do what i do: pretend you're going to a business meeting. In a way it is, cos you have no guaranteee that romance is on the menu anyway.

I had a great dinner date with a chap from here recently, but I didn't let myself have any preconceived ideas about him to start of with, so whatever I found when I met him was a pleasant surprise. It worked and he's just invited me to a repeat of the evening.

Dont forget to bash one off before you go, don't want to have a loaded weapon on the date either


Edit : I've got a first date on Monday..wonder if I should take my own advice!

Well the first time I met a girl off the internet she asked me to bring some of my photographs with me as I am quite a keen photographer. I felt this was a good idea because at least you know that you will have something to talk about which helps to break the ice.

So the tube wasn't running late then after all?

I was nervous to start with, but once you get talking, they'll be no stopping you...

Grab something to eat fairly soon after you meet so you dont have to worry to much about uncomfortable silences and conversation has chance to develop naturally...forced conversation sucks..

Make sure you beat one out first.... less likely to get all fidgety and start sweating at first sight of the lovely lady.

Take care of the things that you might be worried about. Be all nice and clean and smelling good. Ask her questions about herself. Be genuinely interested. People aslways think great listeners are wonderful conversationalists. Leave your expectations at home and know that at the worst, it's 2 hours out of your life, and that's about 1/2 a football game. Oh ya, inhale and exhale and few good ones before you walk through that door. Smile, smile, smile. Concentrate on making her feel relaxed and comfortable, and it will work on your as well.

Have fun, tell us all the juicy details on Monday!!! I love to live vicariously!

To be honest the last date I went on was for a meal but I think I prefer first dates to be a coffee or something because it is difficult to have a conversation over a full meal.

try not to put the whole date thing in your mind.

Just try and see it as meeting a mate for a night out, and take the pressure off yourself.

They do say that if you are nervous during an interview, or giving a presentation, then you should imagine the other people wearing no clothes.

That probably doesn't help does it?

Ewwww GG that's gross
I can handle seeing my boss with clothes on, but if I'd have imagined him without any at the interview, some one would say i was very sick in the head

If you get nervous on a first date, just get plastered and pee in her handbag, she'll be dead impressed i'm telling ya

Sound advice 18 and 19.
And I will do my best to NOT imagine my date with no clothes on…………
What do you think? Is a man on a first date with a levitating sporran a turn on?
