    Went on a 2nd date last night, never been able to get passed the 2nd date hurdle!
    Till now!!
    Date three arranged for Wed night. We seem to just click. He is lovely, I know its a bit soon to get too excited but he really is ticking all the right boxes. Never been treated like a lady before, he opened doors for me, pulled my chair out for me etc. Feel like he really listened to me on our first date as he knew not to put up a fight when I offered to buy a round! Made sure I got a taxi home and sent a txt to make sure Id arrived safely. Woke up to a lovely txt too, I managed to impress his friends when we were out apparently!
    Im not usually a touchy feely person but I just have this urge to when Im with him! (keep it clean) Noticed that I kept touching his leg, arm etc when we were talking. Surely thats a good sign??
    Roll on Wed, really looking forward to it.
    Hows everyone else getting on? Hope were all having fun.

    Wow! That does sound promising - and the manners make a big difference. I think one of the things that put me off my date last week was the way he barged in front of me to get through the front door of the pub! Hope your third date goes well too!

    I just want to meet him asap as i know the image of him in my head may well be different to what he's really like in person (and what i've watched on youtube :rotfl:).
    Be careful. Nothing is real until you meet up, we all know that men are inferior to their own opinion of themselves.

    Just reporting back (again!)
    I never heard from the guy I went on a date with.
    Today I deleted his number. I was tempted to text him, but as I had to arrange everything and he didn't seem to communicate at all, I couldn't be bothered to text him again.
    Anyway I am over it. He had no guts even to say "thanks but no thanks." I don't wish to know someone like that.

    Good for you!

    The fella I went on a date with last week has been texting me every day but still no sign of him asking to meet up again, although we did say we would at the end of the last date. I initiated meeting the first time so would really like him to initiate the next one but I'll probably suggest doing something at weekend if he hasn't by about Wednesday... ;) I just don't want to end up being the one doing all the 'chasing' as it were! Any advice?

    I prefer not to do the "chasing" and I always prefer the guy to ask me out but it doesn't have to be that way. Just be careful you don't end up doing all the asking out though. I have the book "he's just not that into you" and a rule I always go by now is:
    "If he likes you, he'll call."

    Just want to add I know we're in the 21st century now so I don't expect to be chased all the time... but in most of the times I've been interested in a guy, he's the one to ask me out. I think it kinda proves to me that he's interested too.

    Good luck. :) If I were in your position I'd wait to see if he suggests anything, or at least leave a few subtle hints to urge him to ask you out again!

    I asked last night, I'm far too impatient :o I just asked if he fancied doing something thiss weekend and he said 'yes, we'll sort something out' so I'll leave it to him to decide what we're doing! I'm pretty sure he's interested as he's been texting me every day and it's usually him who texts first. I'll definitely wait for him to ask next time though ;):rotfl:

    Don't know if i'm posting in the right place. I am not interested in dating but would like to make some new friends to socialise with, go to the pub with etc. I've noticed their are afew websites that say this is what they offer , drinking partners for example. Has anyone here used any of them and managed to make some new friends?

    I know this probably sounds sad but alot of my friends have either moved away or have familys. Leaving me with friends i can visit in the day but noone to do things in the evening with and being a widow in my 30's i'm not ready to date anyone. Any advise appreciated.
