Sounds needy. Bin it.
Trust me, compared to my exes, she isn't (so far anyway!). She didn't bring her nine month old daughter with her on the first date.
She didn't ask how many kids I want with her.
She looked like her photos (in fact better).
Oh and she didn't bring a male friend with her...that was the most awkward date I've been on!

I've just come home smelling of perfume, first date. Jesus that went well. It's been over a decade since I felt (and smelt) like this. I think I might have a cup of tea and plan date two confirmed for Saturday 
YAY!!
There seems to be some positive stories of recent - Nice one! YAY!!
First Tinder date on Friday with a 20 year old student nurse. Went quite well, quickly ran into date two when she text me asking me to come out and meet her in town Saturday evening. That quickly turned into her coming back to mine.
Best of all she left quite early (10:30ish) to go windsurfing Sunday morning so i got to go to the pub in the sun with the lads!

First date finally happened yesterday evening... Its taken over a month to find a date where we were both free! Really wasn't expecting much (wasn't even sure she'd show) but it went great - had a few drinks and chatted for a couple of hours then went for a walk... I was extremely paranoid of any awkward silences - and whilst there were a few, they only last a couple of seconds before once of us sparked the conversation back up again!
She said she wants to see me again - which is awesome - the only problem is, once again, finding a date we're both free is so difficult. At the moment its looking like the 1st weekend of August!
Also, cheers to those who offered me/other people advice - which has definitely helped.

Saying you can't find a date is an excuse, if you want to you will, it's about priorities so decide what yours are I would say
Waiting a month says to me it's not high on the agenda unless you have annual holidays booked abroad?

Either you want to see each other again and you'll do what's necessary to do that or you'll put other things first and time will move on.She said she wants to see me again - which is awesome - the only problem is, once again, finding a date we're both free is so difficult.

I'm racing this weekend (sat/sun), after that she's in the US on business until the 28th... I can do the weekend after that though...Saying you can't find a date is an excuse, if you want to you will, it's about priorities so decide what yours are I would say

I can't do weeknights (I work 1100-2300). Then the weekend after that I go on holiday, then I come back on the Friday but race the weekend after that...
It's not an excuse, its just a downside of living a busy life - and also just bad luck that this is happening around the times we're both away. I really wasn't that interested but she's a really nice girl and I

To be honest, If you're having so much trouble finding an hour to see each other...how are you expecting it to work?I can't do weeknights (I work 1100-2300). Then the weekend after that I go on holiday, then I come back on the Friday but race the weekend after that...

If you like her, make it work. Take a day off and see her.

Exactly. I didn't reply as I don't want to get into an argument but from the post I'd say they are excuses. She will be seeing someone else, that's the modern way and if you want to make time you will, simple as that.If you like her, make it work. Take a day off and see her.

I did think the same but did you read she's in the US on business until the 28th. Its not unreasonable that she's going to be very busy in the run up to a 2 week work trip is it? And I doubt the OP can pop over to USA to take her out for a meal.
If she genuinely wants to see him she'll spare an hour. Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
