Harmonica Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Hey guys, First I'll give you a little info about my situation. I'm 25 years old and game out of a five year relationship two years ago. Since then there's been the odd fling that just kind of happened but nothing serious. Recently I've been using dating sites and I've been talking to a girl who I've arranged to go on a date with next Sunday. My problem is I've been out the 'game' for long I've pretty much forgotten how to act. I know when we meet up I'll be totally fine, my problem is keeping it fresh between now and Sunday. I don't want to seem to keen but at the same time she seemed fairly keen for me to keep in contact. Do any of girls and guys have any advice for? Many thanks in advance!
Philosoraptor Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Oh geez, why are we all so awkward and worrysome? Just do what feels right for you. If she loses interest when you're just being yourself, she wasn't a good match for you anyways.
Author Harmonica Posted November 4, 2013 Author Posted November 4, 2013 I'd say I'm so awkward and worrysome because the last time I was in a situation like this I was 18 which feels like forever ago!
d0nnivain Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Since you haven't been on a date yet, but just met OL, I'd limit contact to 1 phone call between now & then to confirm & at most 1 text or e-mail each day. Less, like every other day or even 2 contacts over the next 6 days is fine too. You can overdo it but I don't think you can underdo it (unless you don't communicate at all) Something pithy; nothing longer than a tweet. No back & forth just a sort of "have a nice day" "good morning" kind of thing. The day before you can say "looking foward to tomorrow."
Col1 Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 I've pretty much forgotten how to act. Don't act. Instead: just be who you are. The problems start when people act who they are not.
