So this guy I met on match seems pretty decent. Our conversations have been easy and fun. We seem to have a lot in common. I was really looking forward to our first date. And then it hit me. This is the first date I have been on in years. First date since I met my ex husband. I was a dating pro when I met him. Now I feel all weird and nervous. I don't get nervous.
I hope that once I put on those heels and makeup that the old , overly confident, totally relaxed me will resurface. I hate this.

    Yep, and don't forget the good ol' shot of vodka (and spray some mint in your mouth afterwards).

    Don't make too much of it. Remember, most of these online first dates are "one & dones". If you like the guy and he likes you, you'll see other again. Just have fun together and good things should happen.

    Yay! Have fun...

    First dates come with a lot of nerves and fears but once you get in there and conversation is flowing, they can be fun!

    Have fun! First date since your ex... what a hurdle to cross. It's like riding a bike, you'll get back into it.

    You've got this, no worries!
    And the nerves won't go away until everyone is settled, but that's not a bad thing :wink:

    I will definitely update with the details as this proceeds.
    Now I have an excuse to keep my $800 shoes. I sure hope he thinks frivolous spending is 'charming' lol.
