I met my husband on a blind date, arranged by friends (who also came on the first date with us).

Love at first sight and we are still here together nearly 36 years later!

I will just say, meet him in public on your first date and go home on your own (although I didn't).

Good luck and have a wonderful time!

Bettyboop - Take sensible precautions to keep yourself safe when you meet him (I don't mean contraception!) but also don't get your hopes up for this man being "the one". It's very easy to build your hopes up to believe that this guy is something he is not and then you end up bitterly disappointed.

Keep an open mind and try to think of him as a new freind, nothing more.

Your ex needs a wallplanner - or do you think he did it deliberately to stop you going out i know some men do that

Have you managed to get him to cancel his diving?

Bettyboop

MM - He does need a wallplanner. I don't think he has cancelled his diving. He doesn't know that I am going out on a date on Friday. His diving expedition was planned for Sunday next week. I am already watching her on Saturday night but he made the arrangements already without asking me! He just assumes I am going to be available whenever he feels like it!

MortgageMamma

Well, next time he has daughter, arrange for her to come home on say the sunday, then, ring him up sunday morning, tell him you are away on a dirty weekend and will be coming back a day late because the sex is so good and that he will have to watch her.

See how he likes that the !!!!!!.

do you have a trusted babysitter if you do arrange a babysitter friday night and charge your ex for the expense of it as he changed the plans with out asking.

Bettyboop

Hi all, I don't have a babysitter. I'm quite protective over my daughter and there are only two people I would leave her with. Her dad is definitely having her on Friday night. I am having her on Saturday night and he thinks all day Sunday. If I don't look after her he will just do something out of spite because of it (that's what he's like).

def send photos beforehand if you don't know what he looks like or him you. Better he or you cancel beforehand if you dislike their looks than meet, and then make an excuse after 30 mins to "have to go for an emergency"

its probably shallow but if anyone is going to be shallow, then best to know right away.

MortgageMamma

Unless he's horrendous looking bordering on disfigured don't rule him out. some people become more attractive the better you get to know them and at the end of the day looks wear off eventually and you take how they look for granted
