Re:Have a Date- Help heartbroken4: I agree with Bubba too...that was funny! Just act like yourself, dont act fake if this is someone who could have something with you, you want them to get to know the real you. Keep the conversation going and no baggage stories guys dont really like that as I am told. Just have fun and enjoy being out with someone!

Re:Have a Date- Help tara: Give yourself permission to be OK with whatever happens on your date. (I don't mean you have to be OK if he starts making unwanted advances -- but be OK with your own actions and decisions.)
I went into my first post-separation date (which was also my first date as an adult) with that mentality -- that it was going to be OK if I made an ass of myself. It was going to be OK if I never saw him again. It was going to be OK if I really liked the guy -- it wouldn't be cheating on my ex or anything. I also gave myself permission to not beat myself up for going too fast if I ended up in bed with him.
It all worked out OK, too.
Good luck!
Re:Have a Date- Help ChristyM: I can assure you he is just as nervous as you are. If you drink, have a glass of wine to calm your nerves with dinner. Sometimes it helps to take the edge off and loosen you up.

Re:Have a Date- Help Butterflygirl: So the date was going to be just us. Then we decided to bring some friends. So my girlfriend who also likes this guy came out and they wind up getting into a huge fight. It was horrible. Then he said that he liked me and not her and that she should have got the hint and she started crying.
SO I called him when I got in and he says that he is not mad and he will see me around. AROUND???? I didn't even do anything.
Then he ends the conversation with "I really like you but some things just aren't meant to be".
So there's that :-[
Thanks to everyone who replied to my first post. Hey atleast I ate in front of him ::)
Re:Have a Date- Help raistlynne: Have you seen the date scene from the movie, white chicks?
Okay, thats how NOT to behave.
Now as far as the nervousness, stop thinking so much about the date. You'll be so nervous that you just might do everything you were nervous about. I would also have a few necessities on me for bodily disasters. (An antacid, mints...)
