Well this post is kinda old... I'm hoping the OP got everything worked out, but anyway: I have never really been on a date so I can't claim to any sort of expertise in this area. However, I have always considered it kinda strange that for their first meeting two people would want to sit and stare at each other and try to think of things to talk about WHILE THEY ARE EATING.
To me that seems like there's no way to win in a situation like that. I would want to do something besides sit, stare, and eat (and feel uncomfortable) at my first meeting with someone. Going for a walk, playing mini golf, bowling, or sightseeing seem like better ideas to me--that is, unless you've already established that you're getting together to shag, right? Then there's no point in all the formalities: Get to the action first, talk later. I hope this was helpful. yours in Chaos, Scarlett |

So I tried dating this weekend, it was really awkward. My jokes not appreciated and I was left nervous paying the tab. I don't feel like myself out there, I feel like I am supposed to perform and impress, I am horrible at impressing, I am much better at disgusting people. But I put on my "nice" clothes and tried being relaxed, she seemed nice, but I seemed like a sweaty crack addict fidgeting around talking way too fast and over compensating for my less than alluring looks constantly asking if she needed or wanted anything, kind of like an over attentive waiter. So after it end with an awkward kiss on the cheek at her doorstep, I went out, got drunk, saw her out, I was a lot less nervous and think she liked me better. I believe I am a better drunk than sober, I mean that's when I'm not boring and my jokes are funny. I just wish I could be the fun guy sober and not care at all. Anyway, I am just doing my usual *****ing, peace. Either way.......you will find out sooner or later if this person likes you for YOU or for the "other" Alcohol kills our inhibitions..........and I hear ya,,,,,,,,,,,,,nerves!!! |
