killerlooks Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 Hey, I haven't been on a date in about 7 years - due to divorce and lots of reasons. Anyway, I will be going on one soon. I am so nervous because I am out of practice and the guy is 10 years younger than me. Is there anything that I should/should not be doing. What about paying, kissing on the first date - help me please. Very nervous
Cinia1510 Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 Hey there! Believe it or not, this feeling is normal! I've been with my boyfriend 4 years and we are considering breaking up - and Its constantly on my mind! "Ive forgotten how to date!" I think the main thing to do is BE YOURSELF! Dont try to be something your not, just to impress him because that will end in disaster! I know 7 years is quite a long time and no advice will make the butterflies go away - but be confident in yourself and there's no reason why he wont like you for it! Try not to look at it from that point of view because your putting too much pressure on yourself this way! He's probably nervous too you know! . . . . You might not even like him!! He could have a really annoying habbit or a massive spot on the end of his nose! lol! I know I'm just being silly but what Im trying to say is DONT WORRY SO MUCH! No one can be "out of practice" - who says there are "right and wrong" things to do! There are no rules! Wear something confortable - because feeling unconfortable alone can ruin a date itself! If you feel ready to kiss him, then do it - but if doesnt feel right then dont! ITS YOUR CHOICE!! And as for paying - it depends on the type of bloke - dont assume he's paying (although that would be nice! :-)) when the bill comes offer to pay for half and see what he says . . The most important thing is - whatever you do, dont feel pressured to do anything!! Just be yourself. Best of luck darlin!
