sapphire0903 Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 Hey everyone!!! Not really "new" to LS, but new to the dating forum! I will try to keep it brief, ............My story: Left a 13 year marriage about 3 1/2 years ago........Happy about that:D Had a boyfriend for two years that recently ended.........Sad about that:( however, he and I talk often, and remain friends. That is the short version! So presently I have logged on to a dating site over the internet,.......so far my profile has generated a good bit of interest, and I have begun seeing some of the men. (Mind you, no physical contact with them, usually start with drinks, continues to dinner, and ends with a hug, thank you, and "call me".) I should mention at this point, that I married quite young, and did not really have the experience at "dating" I know that I have not obligation to any of these men, my questions are about "dating etiquette" I suppose. For instance; Should I explain if I don't take their phone call, if I am on another date? Should I assume that they know I am dating..........(since I am on a site) I think I would feel uncomfortable talking about my dating experiences with the date that I am on............ Any tips, suggestions, ect would be greatly appreciated!!! Thank you in advance!
amaysngrace Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 Should I explain if I don't take their phone call, if I am on another date? No, when you're on a date have your phone off. That's the polite thing to do for the one you're out with. Plus, it's a legitimate reason for not taking another call. Should I assume that they know I am dating..........(since I am on a site) Good rule of thumb...ASSUME nothing. In all aspects of life. I think I would feel uncomfortable talking about my dating experiences with the date that I am on............ Definitely don't. They will then know you speak about them too. And they probably won't like you very much if you do this. Be interesting. Speak about yourself. But not about your dating. That falls into the "too much information" category, IMO. If they ask a direct question, give a direct answer. But give them the shortened version.
Author sapphire0903 Posted October 24, 2006 Author Posted October 24, 2006 Thanks!! I should mention too, ........I do take my phone with me and leave it on, as this is my "link" to my daughter if she needs me. In general, I don't answer the phone if it is not her.
