Date three last night and Im still smiling!
Went to the cinema, he held my hand through the whole film. Still holding doors for me too. He came straight from work and WOW does he look good in a suit!
I dropped him off after (coming from work he didnt have the car) and before we even reached his house he was asking me to a works function...on the 28th April. It appears he's looking to the future, all be it not too distant.
We're going out again on Saturday, meal and a drink.
He remembers everything Ive told him which pleases me as it proves he's listening. I told him on date one that I wouldn't just jump into bed with him, I would wait till it felt right, he likes this about me, says I obviously have some self respect which again, he likes. My only fault...according to him is that I dont like football, if I did I'd be perfect!!!
Hows everyone else getting on?
Happy Lou x

I asked last night, I'm far too impatient 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:

Well done, nothing wrong with making the first move. Hope he sorts out something nice and it all goes well. Lou x

Lou that's superduperuberlicious, go you I think you're undervaluing the whole 28th of April it is almost a month away still, most men don't plan ahead the way us women do, so he is certainly looking to for the future and it shows he's not totally forgetful about dates like most men. Plus he will no doubt be introuducing you to his collegues and no doubt a few of his friends he works with.....AND he looks HOT in a suit, after doing a day's work!Think your on to a winner there :T:T:T

The only relationship i feel like i'm having at the moment is with ebay and we are about to fall out BIGtime ha

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.

Hi Beverley. Take a look at www.meetup.com. Depending on where you are in the country, there will be social groups for all kinds of activities.

I'm fairly close to Glasgow and have been a meetup member for a couple of years now.

Im meeting my date from last week again at the weekend. We got on well and he was a nice bloke but Im fairly sure he isn't for me - nothing wrong with him, looks wise or personality- just don't feel any spark or attraction. Do you think it could grow in time?

When Ive done online dating in the past Ive normally declined second dates as I didn't feel a spark on the first date so thought I would give this one a second chance - not feeling at all excited about the date though which can't be a good sign!

I'd second that. I had an email message from someone entirely unsuitable who said they were new to London (the UK in fact) and looking for new friends, so recommended it. Was met with the stroppy answer "no I want friends for dating".

I don't know if anyone saw "The Undateables" on C4 on Tuesday evening? Is it just me who thought that the chap with Apserger's had unreasonable expectations? I thought the French lady was quite charming yet he was quick to brush her off.

As for the girl in the wheelchair, I thought her date was lovely too, but she showed zero enthusiasm except when she wanted to tell him that she didn't want to see him again after the date. Why are people so quick to dismiss others when they could so easily be friends? Not every date needs to lead to a relationship, but you can never have enough friends IMO.

Here's my opinion!
You agreed to a second date, you must have felt something. Maybe not fireworks or WOW, but a wee smoulder.
I think you should go with an open mind, you never know what might happen. Maybe you need him to kiss you to feel the spark lol. I know thats a clincher for me.
Go, have fun and if nothing else you may come away with a new friend. Lou x

Thank you - yes Ill go with an open mind and see how it goes.
Maybe Ill feel differently when I see him again, some of my friends who met their partners online said it did take a few dates to feel something. I suppose Im used to dating in real life where it starts off with a WOW (and then smoulders out!) Ill let you know how I get on
