I have recently met a girl through online dating. We’ve been sending messages for while and now want to meet up this weekend on our first date. The chats we’ve been having are casual but  flirty and now I’m afraid I won’t live up to her expectations. I’m shy when I first meet people, I’ve always been more confident sending messages and writing, than face to face. Would like to hear from anybody else going through same personal experience.

Does anyone have any objective opinions to help me on my experience today please? I have been out on our first date with this woman that I met online, and things went well. When we came to say goodbye, it did look like she wanted a kiss, but nervously, I just gave her a peck on the lips, I did tell her that I had a good time and would like to meet up again, she did too. She texted me 2 hours after our date to tell me “It was lovely to meet you”. I didn’t pick this message up straight away, so I tried to call but it went through to her answerphone. I didn’t leave a message, but later texted back instead. I struggle to judge the appropriate “non-desperate” time frame. I haven’t had a text back from her yet, it’s now 3 hours after my text. I’m not sure what to make of this, and its driving me crazy. What should I do?

I had a first date with a girl yesterday, it went really well and we just spoke for 5 hours. Then I walked her home and she said she really enjoyed herself. We kind of left it at a hug and said we would meet again soon. I was wondering what I should do now? Should I text, ring or speak to her online? Should I ask her out again now or wait a week or so? I usually wouldn’t ask for advice but I dont want to mess this one up. Please help!

You’ve found someone through online dating that you think you might like. You chat with her over the net for a few weeks and all seems to be going well. The next step is to plan a date and you both agree. Now, the big day arrives and you get yourself looking good to meet the girl who could turn out to be the one! You get there early to make a good impression, and then she arrives.

Oh dear, that’s not what you were expecting, maybe she looked much better in her online photo, perhaps she hasn’t got the personality that you thought she had or that she seemed to have when you were talking online. You thought you had found your next girlfriend, but now it seems perhaps you haven’t, what are you going to do?

Comments please!

I’m going out on a first date for the first time in 10 years and I admit, it terrifies me. I’m 32, she’s 34 and we both came out of long term relationships last year and have been single since. Any advice would be much appreciated.

I met a girl through this online dating site and we went on a date about a week ago. The evening went ok, well on a scale of 1 to 10 I would say 5. She said after the date, that we should meet again. I agreed, and set another date, which we haven’t been on yet. Ever since that first date I’ve not been so keen to meet her again, and in particular am not sure if I would want a relationship with her. I’m worried that this second date will not go as well as the first. One reason being, that we did talk about quite alot in the 1st date, so I’m thinking we are not going to have much to talk about on the second, and I dont want those awkward silences to happen or either of us to feel uncomfortable. Ever since the first date I’ve been in two minds whether to call off the second date, and am really unsure what to do. What should I do? Should I just go on the date anyway, even though I’m thinking that I’m not that keen to have a relationship with this girl? How do I deal with this, any advice apprietated.

O.K. Is she interested in me or not?

Been chating online for 3 months, finally met but we seemed to be talking just like friends. After nearly two hours of being together she started to say she was getting tired so I took her home though we were chatting all the time. She was laughing and smiling. No hugs, no kisses but she was kind. I told her I’d love to meet her again and she just just replyed “See you”

Does that mean I’m waisting my time with her? Would you girls do the same if not interested in your partner?

I’ve been chatting through this online dating site with a girl for a while now and we are going out on our first date with tomorrow to the cinema. I’m not a teenager, I’m divorced and have a kid but have never really dated, just got with people I had got to know through work or friends. I’m not sure what to expect really. Should I try and kiss her? Or not at all? Is just a peck acceptable? How about touching (I mean hands, arms legs etc)? Do I keep my hands to myself? We’ve been chatting a lot over the past couple of weeks but haven’t been out yet. Bit nervous really. Don’t want to wreck stuff by sleeping with her, but I do like her. How many dates until it becomes acceptable to sleep together? I want her to feel comfortable with me before I do but don’t want her to get bored before that happens! Is it a bit of a fine line?

I’ve known this girl for a year and we’ve been mates. We recently told each other we like each other. can anyone give me some first date suggestions? Nothing cheesy or potentially awkward? Thanks

I am going on my very first date with this girl I know. We used to work together so we know a little bit about each other but i’m quite nervous and want to get it right. We are going shopping for our first date, her idea, not mine. I am a really happy, talkative guy but do need some tips please!
