It was a virus of some sort. Sickness and the trots, nothing life changing.
Although not a pleasant experience. Forgotten though did you go there after work?I was finished late on the Friday and went to hers straight after work.
We spoke today for the first time since Saturday, definitely over, she can't seem to realise the seriousness of her actions and I can't live a life treading on eggshells waiting for it to happen again.
Both gutted, but ultimately it's for the best.

Kinda set myself up for that one didn't I?!
OK. So I'm no alpha-male expert at any of this but if this is your 3rd date and it's been suggested that you don't do food/drinks again and not liking the idea of cinema either then has it occured to you that she's probably waiting for you to invite her to yours so you can nuke her back doors from orbit? 
More info needed.
Btw ice-skating is something you should only consider as a bloke if you're good at it and they aren't. This means that you get infinite hands-on opportunities "helping" them to stay upright and they are literally putty in your hands. It doesn't work the other way round as they just cruise around the rink looking all cool whilst simultaneously laughing at your hopeless and pathetic self sat in a heap on the icerink floor.

Second date down and it went well. Sorting a third for the weekend.
What would people suggest? First was a drink that turned into a meal, second was a meal, both have agreed something other than food. I don't want to do the cinema, as can't really talk! Someone suggested bowling, but I'm not a huge fan of it (mainly because I'm s
t!).
Any ideas would be welcome! Friend did suggest ice skating which I like the idea of (despite being bambi on ice!).
If the weather is ok why not just suggest a walk ? - nice bit of countryside, canal, seaside (or wherever you are).What would people suggest?

A Christmas market type thing (thinking Birmingham, busy but good) or winter wonderland - both better in the evening IMO - are pretty good for a date at this time of year which doesn't involve just going for dinner.
I did the bowling thing recently and we were surrounded by small kids birthday parties
not the best evening out but it was a laugh nonetheless.

not the best evening out but it was a laugh nonetheless. One of my early dates in October was Ice Skating (we are both in our 40s). He's no expert but better than I was and held my hand all night. It was brilliant. One of the best dates I've had, and I'm hard work. There were a lot of lares twenties plus couples there. Two in particular who were also clearly on first or early dates. The girls weren't skaters that was obvious. The guys had skillls and were literally skating circles around them. Really interesting and fun evening. Totally different from the normal.

I have no idea how you lot fail at this. I activated a Tinder account two weeks ago. Few matches (I literally swipe left 99/100) but conversation was tedious/mundane. Until I met my match. Same age, in to bikes, similar humour, we seem to have clicked. We are now in to our second week of several dates and can talk on the phone for hours. Last night we went ice skating, but due to an error on the rink's part we also blagged tickets to our first ice hockey game, which was, different.
I've stopped partying and am ready to settle. I've so far had a great time with him. Fate will lay us a path. And I'm happy to see where it takes us.
It's still steady. Though I may have fitted some partying in last weekend. Old habits are hard to break. I've stopped partying and am ready to settle. I've so far had a great time with him. Fate will lay us a path. And I'm happy to see where it takes us.

I would be taking advantage of the time of year. Get off to a Christmas market with her. Some shopping a lot of gluhweinWhat would people suggest?

have fun and a giggle and get to know each other. If you don't mess this up and she likes you I guarantee you will have a fantastic time 
Christmas market yes but seriously whats wrong with bowling or skating l
Some of you powerfully built (yet single) directors have no idea how to have fun
Take me shooting on a 3rd date and I'd till you were a monumental cock especially if you have the clothes....im a bloke though, so not a fair judge

Is that a euphemism, or is it some niche partying? Why need you stop having fun just because you're dating someone for a while? Gretchen said:
