Greetings I parted with my partner of 18 months in Setember and since then I have been off the dating scene as I didn't really want a relationship. Now I have been invited on a date by a man I have known about a year and a half and have been friends with for most of that time.
He told me soon after the split that he had been interested in me for a while and wanted to take me out. So I finally agreed. Now I am not sure what to do really to prepare. I have never actually been on a date before as my previous partner and I didn't really date. Help?

the 1st thing Id say is be yourself, just remember that he has asked you out because he likes you.

I love threads like this
Do keep us up to date with how it went! When are you going?
And shush those at the back telling me to get a life :rotfl:

seeing as you already know him it's just the same as going out with a mate, except you might get lucky at the end...

He's already made it clear he's interested so you have a lot less to worry about than most daters! Don't do anything OTT to prepare - make a bit of effort with your appearance, to show you're interested too, but not so as you feel fake or uncomfortable.

And at the risk of lowering the tone, if you think things might move fast and you're happy with that, tidy your room and wear your newest undies!

I agree with Trish, just be yourself but don't be over the top with "making an effort"

And if things do heat up remember to use protection

And remember that old advice.....

"Don't bother getting a new dress for that important first date, he's only interested in seeing you naked"

Have fun! (But not too much fun, )

I was thinking of wearing one of my 'above nice' frocks but not the 'oh my god' formal frocks. I want to make a good impression. Even though I know him and he has expressed an interest, I really wanna knock him dead. I want him to find me attractive. I know i know I shouldnt be striving for someone to say it to me but I would like him to feel that i am attractive.

I am thinking to go understated on the frock, but overstate on the heels and wear one of my really nice heels Plus go for some nice make up but not too much. I've got a purfume I know he likes so I was gonna wear a squirt of that.

Argg!!!! I am doing some prep at the moment like making my skin nicer, and making my hair soft.
