Well.... I had the date Friday night. I am sorry I did not post Saturday. The date went very well, we laughed and talked until almost three in the morning. Unfortunately, it seems as though there is most likely a friend vibe more than anything. We'll see. On the positive side, I am very pleased to know I can have a good date! Happy Monday, all! Was this our "mutual" friend??? Nope.... new guy. |

I left after 1.5 hours. Gave the old, I got to get up early for work line and still have stuff to do. I try to make my first dates just a drink or coffee so I'm not stuck for a meal. That can be an eternity.  well - you gave it a try. i applaud your honesty and generosity - sorry to hear it was a bust. |

Okay.... I had a date last night. The guy brought up his ex three times in the first 45 minutes. This included telling me they broke up in January and he was "devastated" and "physically ill". He was "lost" and she just "walked away"..... I know more about her than I ever cared to. Why do people feel the need to talk about their exes on the first date? I mean I can understand the whole why are you single thing, and a brief conversation/explanation, but really! More importantly, why do people date before they are over their ex? It is infuriating. The date had other problems, but he did not seem to notice. I heard the old I don't watch TV or listen to mainstream radio line... I don't keep up with current events. When he asked me out again, he did not even look me in the eye. We were standing outside, I'm looking right at him, and he is totally avoiding looking at me. WTH???? Clearly he had self worth issues, and you are right, he is not fully over his ex... some wounds run deep, but for fear of being alone, people will try... give him his space... dont be a victim |

Here's my first date etiquette, based solely on previous first dates....
Don't get too comfy in my house... You aren't there yet buddy. Don't take your shoes off and put your smelly feet on me. don't assume that because you've bought me 2 beers I'ma take you home, I'm a professional drinker, two beers just gets me to normal...lol don't smoke pot in the name of Jesus. Don't ask to do coke in my house. don't ask for a second date at the begining of the first one. I'm sure I'll think of more...but I just got up.

I sent him, Thursday night date, an e-mail telling him I did not think he was over his ex and wished him luck.
He read it but did not reply. |

No, manners dictated at least an akowledgement, the way I left it. Oh well. He couldn't look me in the eye.... what the heck am I thinking....! I do love you for your mind. I missed you in here, too. |

Oh and another rule...
If you live a trailer park trashy Jerry Springer lifestyle, don't announce it on the first phone conversation.... er, wait...PLEASE DO...I get confused sometimes.

Here's my first date etiquette, based solely on previous first dates.... Don't get too comfy in my house... You aren't there yet buddy. Don't take your shoes off and put your smelly feet on me. don't assume that because you've bought me 2 beers I'ma take you home, I'm a professional drinker, two beers just gets me to normal...lol don't smoke pot in the name of Jesus. Don't ask to do coke in my house. don't ask for a second date at the begining of the first one. I'm sure I'll think of more...but I just got up. Couple of questions (with tongue in cheek) in reguards to this good advice: 1. Is it okay if I smoke pot, but don't do it in a blasphamous tone? 2. What about after six beers? 3. Is it okay to do Coke in the house if I mix it with Jack Daniels, Crown Royal, or maybe some rum? 4. I can understand the shoes thing, but what if I show up barefoot? (I know the odds are pretty slim of that happening, but I could want to take you to a beach) 5. So what is the appropriate time to ask for a second date, when I get you to the car, maybe on the way into the restuarant, before dessert? Not all of us guys are rocket scientist, and I'm sure the ones that are actually need this quantified. There are no dumb questions, just men.

He invited me to his place, a small housewarming party. The last guests left at midnight, and we stayed outside and talked. It was the one on one time, as most of the night was with his friends and quite casual. So it was a mix. Oh, and I'm a talker. |
