Holy cr*p! It looks like I have a date this weekend...

[PeterB]

... with a hot/nice blonde. SHE asked ME out. Not bad!

I must be doing something right! Either that, or she's an axe murderer.

Any first date advice? I've been out of the dating world for a very long time... so I'm seriously out of practice. I'd especially be interested to hear what the ladies of MRF have to say about this.

[Greg the dogsitter]

I believe Freya could give you plenty of advice.

[PeterB]

GtDs ... LOL ... Freya has been one promiscuous hamster, that's for sure!

[Silencio]

Relax. Be yourself. Have a good time!

[mattkime]

What mac does she own? which ipod?

is she part of the usbscale cult?

this is how we measure people.

[PeterB]

matt ... I knew someone would bring that up!

Truthfully, I don't know those things (yet). I suspect that I will find out if there is a second, third date, etc.

Silencio, yes, that's good advice... I was thinking about that... better not to be with someone who doesn't really like you... such are the things that end up becoming awful marriages, etc....

Tip #28: Do not mention a word about spending time on online forums of any kind.
Tip #33: For chrissakes DO NOT buy any Amway products if she is trying to sell you some

Good luck and both of you have fun.

I'm glad to say I've been out of this dating lark for well over 30 years.

Just relax and enjoy yourself. If there's ever any uncomfortable silences, have some questions about her to ask. But mainly just relax, focus on beng a friend.

Shower.
Polite. (don't over-do it, this is of course subject to relativity. Like perfume, just enough to pique interest)
Smile.

and yeah, be yourself.

Trying to be something you're not is a big turn-off, and most women can sense that from 100 feet away.


Edit: If she's married, the above may or may not not apply.
Proceed with extreme caution, or, not at all.
