Worst Dating Experience?

SandyToes_2

I met a really nice gentleman through work (one of our suppliers). He asked me out and the first date was really great (nice meal, stroll along the seafront after). Second date a week later was just as great, if not better (day out in London, sightseeing).
Then the third date... which was when he decided to tell me about his 'hobby' (which was his actual word for it) - meeting strangers (men) in public toilets for, ahem, well I'm sure you can guess! But I didn't need to guess, because he started showing me photographic evidence on his phone!
There was no fourth date.

Emilykf - sounds like my first date with the boyfriend I had at Uni. Walked from Uni to the cinema with him, I thought all the glass doors across the front of the cinema (massive multi screen place) were automatic. They weren't....

Added to that the heavy snow that fell while we were in the film. I slid all the way home, grabbing on to fences/hand rails/falling over. He's Austrian so to him it was a few flakes that he skipped through like a gazelle!

Problem is, and I know you'll see this coming, I don't know what to do! We've had a few texts since and she wants to do something this weekend, and I do to, but I'm a little bit scared it's too soon for me as well, what kind of 2nd date should I do.

Good on you for being so open and honest with this girl about your recent break up. She is aware of where you are at, so it is unlikely she would want to rush into anything heavy for a while.

You say she was easy to talk to, so have you discovered any common interests that you could enjoy doing together on a second date. At this stage you are in the process of getting to know each other so meet up and do something that enables you to talk. Maybe go out for a casual drink and then a walk if you are near the beach or nice countryside. That would be fun and relaxing.

Keep it all very natural and easy.

I once was quite taken with a nice looking guy that asked me out and made loads of effort ahead of our first planned date at the cinema, imagine my horror when he turned up with his mother in tow! Worse than that she actually sat between us whilst we watched the film, he was 28 and surprisingly enough there wasn't a 2nd date

One Saturday, friend of mine went on a date with a widower. He spent the whole time talking about his wife and how much he missed her.

After a couple of hours, rather stuck for an appropriate reply, she asked when the wife had died.

Tuesday, came the reply.

Yeah we have quite a few interests, one of them being walking. We've agreed to go to Southport which isn't too far away from me for a walk and a chat down the prom, maybe get something to eat, just see how it goes from there! I'm trying to just take it slowly and easy and just see what happens.

Thanks for the advice Marisco x

I hope you enjoy each others company whatever you decide to do at the weekend. Relax and just see what develops between you both.

Thanks I will do. I am a nightmare for over analysing and reading in to things. Predicting what may happen and what may not. I think I'm just going to go with an open frame of mind and just what will be, will be.

It's only 2 dates and it could well be no more than that!

Cinders:

Yay, glad it went well. Hope your second date is even better :-)

Good luck with the second date OP.

I once met a guy in a club, we danced for a bit and then kissed. As the kiss ended he said "That was lovely, I haven't done that for over 9 months." I thought it was a bit of an odd thing to say and asked why. Turned out he had just been released from prison.....
