cottoncandy1 Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 (edited) It was funny. I had a date set up by my co-worker and we only spoke on the phone a few times briefly. A few days ago I finally got my Kindle and of course the first thing I downloaded was dating books. One of them was a book of 101 questions to ask your date. I figured it would help break the ice. Anyway, we met at TGIF's and he was much cuter in person (thank goodness because the pic had me doubtful). He had a good personality and he held my chair out for me, which I thought was so funny since it was TGIF's and all. I was nervous and only got chicken strips because I didn't want to handle a lot of food. I told him about the question book I bought and he was open to answering some questions, as would I. Well, let me tell you, we had such a good time with each other - laughing so hard and really getting to know each other. I recommend it. He said he actually knew more about me than he's had with multiple dates in the past with other people! The book gives you permssion to ask stuff you wouldn't think of yourself, and some things that you wouldn't ask the first date. Anyway, he asked me out again and told me to bring my kindle so we can do more questions. One thing that concerned me though, was that one of the questions I asked him was, are you friends with your ex girlfriends? He answered "some." I was a bit worried about that. I don't know if we get serious this would become a problem down the road.....??? Has anyone else encountered this problem? How do you handle it?? Edited September 1, 2010 by cottoncandy1
FL Lady Posted September 2, 2010 Posted September 2, 2010 (edited) Gosh! Don't worry about that! Ugh?. It's just a first simple, fun, laid back date. No biggie. Get to know him further then decide. Have fun. Play it cool. He had fun, like you did, or there'd be no date # 2. I don't know your age, but just have fun. Edited September 2, 2010 by FL Lady
jean-luc sisko Posted September 2, 2010 Posted September 2, 2010 No offence, but why does one need a book to date? I think simply be yourself and make small talk.
Star Gazer Posted September 2, 2010 Posted September 2, 2010 Did you really do this? And he enjoyed it? I really don't know how I'd respond if a guy busted out a book of questions on a first date. I'm all about fun question/answer games, but they usually evolve over time. Not like a pop quiz...
JohnnyBlaze Posted September 2, 2010 Posted September 2, 2010 Did you really do this? And he enjoyed it? I really don't know how I'd respond if a guy busted out a book of questions on a first date. I'm all about fun question/answer games, but they usually evolve over time. Not like a pop quiz... There's the trick; it's all in who whips out the book. If a girl does it, she comes across as cutesy and a little shy and hoping the really cute boy likes her. If a girl did that to me in a cheery manner (not like a cop shop interrogation), I'd probably be looking at the questions, trying to answer all 101 of them...probably with some of the goofiest answers I could come up with! I think it'd work like a charm. If a guy does it, it would either look like a blatant attempt at controlling or show him to be one of those creepy, obsessive people. That'd be the time that the girl excuses herself to go to the little girl's room and then quietly sneaks out of the restaurant, calling 911 on her cell. "I'm not stalking, I'm just curious. By the way, you're out of milk."
curlygirl40 Posted September 2, 2010 Posted September 2, 2010 Some people might disagree with me but I think if a guy is friends with an ex or two it shows character. To me it shows that maybe the breakup wasn't so bad that they hated each other when they broke it off. And if she still likes him enough to be his friend (and vice versa) then how bad of a guy could he be? And I wouldn't worry. If he wanted to be with the ex, he would be with the ex. But instead he's going out on a date with you!
