Christ man it's a drink not a job interview
Dress properly, have a wash and a shave, go out, have a good time, buy her a couple of drinks, talk to her like a human and see what happens!
That is a good point, am I coming across as a bit nervous Dress properly, have a wash and a shave, go out, have a good time, buy her a couple of drinks, talk to her like a human and see what happens!
I'll take the advice of previous posters and not mention it.

So Nick, is the date still on today? What have you got planned for it?
Funnily enough I had a message from her this morning and my instant thought was 'cancelled' - but no, just a change of venue. She seems a rather cautious girl and we've not exchanged numbers yet, so we've just arranged to meet for a coffee and a chat this afternoon. I'll update later, see if can get promoted to a mobile phone number

It's understandable as there's no shortage of weirdos around. The one i'm taking out at the moment advised me not to send her pics of my nob when I got her phone number! All the best for later on though, the only advice I can give is the usual; relax, be yourself and enjoy, it's not supposed to be a test.

One I've been seeing, mentioned that a guy asked for her number so he could send videos of himself wking.
I wouldn't like to meet the women that worked on.

Never would have guessed things like that happen but people have needs I suppose and I'll never see her again. A good time was had by all and no harm done

I note a few of you saying you're having trouble with te dating sites. Interesting as my best mate and his mate have said the same a while ago. They've started 'tapping up' ? women via Facebook. It seems to work for them. Meeting women via mutual friends so there's at least some connection before they start. I know technically Tinder should work like this but it's not always the case.

Given the problems allot fo PH'rs have with their ex wives you appear to of struck solid gold here. Getting back to the house issue, I'd be more worried about logistics. Does she live on her own or with mates? Could be tricky getting her back if the ex is home.
Would swap the starbucks for a bar, as close to her place as possible. While few girls will admit to it, if a date is going well and a few drinks ahve been had then you can usually close the deal on the first date.
Good luck

Not quite wking but pictures have worked for me, just a few weeks ago as it happens. My ex-wife introduced me to a young Italian, claiming that she was horny and going back to Italy in a few weeks. After a few hours chatting a picture of my knob was sent, that evening we met up followed by a week & a half of proper filth, porn style sex whenever the opportunity arose.

Until she uses it as evidence in the settlement case, Never would have guessed things like that happen but people have needs I suppose and I'll never see her again. A good time was had by all and no harm done

Well that was interesting. I think it went well, we sat for a full 2 hours chatting and laughing with no silences. Seemed to have a lot in common and such, when we parted I tried to secure a second date but got a 'maybe'. No idea if it'll go anywhere but I'm just chuffed that managed to keep my cool and not go overly nervous and silent.
Drive home was a bit odd though, I started thinking about the ex. Bit of back story required - together for 2 and a bit years, house, plans for wedding etc. things didn't work out and I split with her. Still in house together, awkward and she had a new bloke after just a week. She had never met him and has admitted that she can't be alone, got set up by her new mates and been rubbing it in somewhat. Anyway, the way home I just thought about if she was really happy, dating is hard, how can she find someone instantly? etc. etc.
I don't think I'm ready quite yet.....

How long has it been? I'm guessing pretty recent if you're still living in the same house. Drive home was a bit odd though, I started thinking about the ex.

If you split up with her then I could understand why she might be rubbing your nose in it a bit, bit childish but breakups rarely bring out the best in us.
As for the new fella I've never heard a clearer case of rebound, of course she's going to tell you how great everything is and try to keep her head held high. Plenty of girls (and guys) simply can't handle the single thing and feel they have a hole to fill (ahem) and grab hold of the next branch they can.
After 3 years out of the game sounds like you did good. Didn't you say you were chatting to 4 girls? One down three to go - law of averages says you smash at least one

OK, that's great I don't feel I need to explain myself but I'll bite. It was a little more than just sex. My mind wasn't quite in the right place and I felt rather crap afterwards, emotional heap perhaps? But we also talked, she helped me with how I was feeling etc. I suppose that's not a manly enough thing to admit though CountZero23 said:

It's been a month and a half, to be honest it's a new experience for me. Having never left anyone from a long tern relationship, always been the dumped not the dumper. I wasn't prepared for how stty I would feel and the games that would be played and mind fks issued by a once loving and devoted girlfriend, I could probably start a while other thread on her odd behaviour- Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned certainly rings true.

What? You broke up a month and a half ago and are distraught and yet your ex notwife pushed you on The Italian?
Am I missing something here?

Also, the ex-wife and I split some 5 years ago when she realised she liked the ladies, we are good mates these days
Well looks like I've finally extracted myself from the disaster of my most recent relationship - 2.5 years and back in the single game.
The world has changed in that time - Tinder exploded, with numerous other apps following and I've never used isn't of them may have missed the boat a bit on Tinder though? When I was last single a number of my friends from different social circles were too making it very easy to go out most weeks for drinks and meet girls, though I was never the best at chat I did ok! These days most are settled down/ engaged/ emigrated so makes those willing to get me out there is reduced and my chat is rusty and awkward at the moment!
Got to love a challenge though! At 29, in London, not offensively ugly there should be some willing to fall for the charm!
Cheers for the amusement over the last few pages as I browsed through.

I've had 3 dates the past 3 nights.
Date 1 - A really sweet girl with a heart of gold, we have a laugh but she's just a bit boring/plain for me. I feel bad saying that because she really is so nice but I'm just not attracted to her.
Date 2 - This one had a bit more of an attitude and we had some good back and forth. Even more pretty in real life than her pictures which is always a bonus, but the same as date 1, she doesn't really seem the wild type I like.
Date 3 - I went on a date with her in February but hasn't seen her since. Still a complete knob.
Truth be told I'm only going on these dates because I'm bored and don't know anyone in a new city. I've done the whole dating thing and it gets pretty boring after a while, and girls that I would have thought were great a year ago are just boring now, which isn't helped because of how wild my ex was. I need to find some of the wild ones again!
