So I am going on a blind first date this weekend? I havent done any dating really - well ever. I just end up with people for years and years by accidents of fate I guess.
What should I and shouldnt I do on a first date? All answers appreciated - however non serious or serious.
Have you had any bad first dates - or horror stories?
What can I do prepare in advance?
The last blind date I went on was a long time ago. A friend of mine tells his girlfriend, "Walter wants to get laid. Set him up with one of your friends." She said ok, called a friend, and we all met up at a motel for a little action. It was a good "first date", and we continued to see each other for about 6 months.
I've never done much "dating" either. I usually just end up with people, often not knowing how or why.

I had a lot of first dates but hardly any second so maybe I'm not the one to ask. Course that could be because I'm just so darn picky.
How did you come about getting this date? Mutual friends? hehehe if that is the case be careful who you end up talking about. All I really remember from my many first dates is meeting in a neutral place where I could make my exit quickly. And then just be yourself. Yep that about covers it for me.
Unless someone else comes up with some really good suggestions, then I was going to say that as well.
I'm in a smiley face mood this morning.
I've been told by the men in my life (brothers, husbands, sons, friends)....."Don't tell them your whole life history on the first date." I've heard them say that they knew the girl's whole life story in the first five minutes...yakety yakety yak!
Walter - you are such an old romatic you! I think we'd get on marvellously!

This date is from an online lesbian dating site. We've chatted by email for a couple of weeks and now I am going for the weekend, well I haven't promised I will stay over night and am buying an open bus ticket so I can leave when I want. We've never spoken although we have exchange pictures and we have no people in common.
She seems really keen and a lovely warm person so I think we can be friends regardless of anything else.
The only rule I kept for first dates is - if you're not interested in this person from the get-go, dump out early.
I've only been on one blind date. I showed up 5-10 minutes late on purpose, didn't pay for her coffee (it was a coffee date) but I was interested in her enough to get the ball rolling. After we were done our coffee date, I took her out on a *real* date: bowling. It was fun. I dated her for about 1 1/2 months. She was pretty boring actually, and I ended up dating another girl at the same time who was more fun.
The best advice I have is to pick something fun to do. I found that I usually get to know someone better when doing some activity. Just don't pick anything that either would get too competative at.
ummmmm crumpet are you a bi-sexual? didn't you just say you broke up with a guy?

well spotted - yes I am bi and i thought this was a good time to explore that side of myself some mofre. I'm trying to be an equal opportunities dater - all genders, ages, races, and cultures.
I did just break up like 3 months ago with Mr C and I decided I cant mope around indefinitely.
