About this new forum

Dates - especially the first few with a new man - can be confusing and stressful. For support and guidance, ask your pre-date questions ("What should I wear?" "He wants to meet at his place - should I?" etc), and leave your post-date updates ("He kissed me!" "How do you think it went? etc) here.

Happy dating!

In Halifax 13 year age diff.

Hey!

So I'm moving to Halifax, NS, Canada for a job in three months. I came down this week to check out the place and met this great guy in town. We went on a date yesterday. One of the first things he mentioned during the date was that he has a 12 year old daughter - so of course I was really confused because I couldn't figure out how old he was. I had pegged him at mid-late 20s. I finally asked and he's thirty-six! I'm 23 but I decided to give the date a chance and he turned out to be this really really amazing guy . But I don't know if a 13 year age difference will work?

He’s Traveling 1000 Miles to See Me. Help!

Ladies, Gentlemen:

I need your advice. I’ve been chatting with a really sweet gentleman online now for about a month. He lives about 1000 miles away, and we will be meeting face-to-face for the first time next month during my vacation. I have several questions about this visit:
1. Should I offer him accommodations in my home if I feel secure enough to do so?
2. What activities should I plan for the two of us when he comes for the first visit?Read more

1st Date tomorow

I met this guy online and he and I have been emailing and IM for about a week and everything has been going well. Tonight we planned to meet for the 1st time tomorrow for lunch at a restaurant. He gave me his phone # tonight and I gave him mine.Read more

He said he would see me on Sunday - if he doesn't call to arrange until Sunday - is that too late?

I've been on about 6 or 7 dates with a guy. They are all spread out over a week apart, so things are going quite slowly and I'm fine with that (for the moment). I saw him on Monday for a drink (which was great) and he asked if he could see me again. He suggested Sunday (ie 6days after we last saw each other) I said ok. As he left he said see you Sunday, but we'll probably speak before then anyway. No firm plans were made for Sunday and I am expecting him to call. If he calls tomorrow ok.Read more

What to wear or not to wear?

Got a date tomorrow night (Friday) and I've met him online. He seems a nice bloke up to yet. He's called me tonight, last night and the night before which is unusual for me its either emails or texting. He told me I can contact him any time for a chat but I havnt because of the no contact at first but he has contacted me first. So I am learning lol.
He asked me tonight what I was wearing on our date and I told him I didn't know as he wanted to dress in accordance with me and he decided on smart casual.Read more

The Universe Provides...aka Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget...JUST VENTING continued Post tips, hints, ideas here!

I thought the stuff that was shared in "Just Venting" was a great idea, so I'm trying to give it it's own home.
Actually, I think it needs it's own FORUM! Funny, how it takes an economic crisis to have people stand up and look at what they are wasting! This whole GREEN movement bandwagon that has come about that the media, marketing and advertising has exploited is really about something we should have been practicing all along...not wasting resources of any form! Each and everyone of us from the richest to poorest among us has some area where we could cut back on. Read more

So, by the end of a semester in college i told a guy i liked him. I told my friends to bring him to a small party that they were having and he came. I was drunk at the time (we both were) and told him i liked him with dozens of compliments that he seemed to not get enough of. Nothing happened after that.....the party was over and we both left. That was the only time i ever really talked to him.Read more
