avoid telling her "wow you look a lot prettier/thinner/more intelligent in your pictures!" and you should be fine lmfao

I promise I will fall on my sword before any of those comments. I would be far more worried about them coming back at me. lol

Have a great evening Ray. You'll be fine. If she doesn't like you, then it's her loss. You come across as a lovely guy and a gent

From reading your posts, you sound like you'll charm your date without any trouble. You certainly seem like you will have plenty to talk about with your travels.

Just wanted to join in and say Good luck to you. As 53846 said - Enjoy!

Oh, and tell us all about it as soon as you get back - I love a good romance!

yeah the rose sounds like a good idea just be yourself if she met you online and liked who you were be that person which i presume is your real self which is a good thing just be honoest and dont forget always be a gentlemen best of luck man

I actually think I have survived and not come off looking like a fugitive axe-murderer. Chocolates went down well, no flower issues to deal with. Huge doubts about my clothes, I am sure women think they worry more about such things, but its not always the case. Wasn't game to wear jeans to a first meet.

A coffee, a glass of wine, walks through a nice town and a parting kiss. And agreement to meet again. Confirmed in the message that I feared would say the opposite. I'd rate that as fairly good for a first meet. (And I know so much about these situations, pretty much nil really).

So a few hours lost sleep worrying. Nope no nerves me.

Thanks for your help

Ray

Thanks both of you.

Do they have smileys for everything? (okay just learnt where the advanced smiley live, now scared, those smileys are just waiting to take over).

Ray, did you get a 'WOW' during your first date? (as in your other thread!). It sounds like you had a lovely time.

Hi Spare (Is there a story behind that user name).

Suspect nerves were a bit too high for Wow. More like phew and "okay watch what you say here". "Careful conversation has been pretty mundane for a while, your boredom reading is getting high"

At least when you send a message you have time to rethink your answers. A meet is like real-time. I am so much better when I can hit the reload from auto save option. Lol.

Cheers

Ray

congratulations Ray on a good first date!

Hope the second one goes just as well.
