I have a first date with a handsome, funny, manly, scruffy, cute country boy. I'm super excited and I know I say that all the time (haha) but I am a bit wee MORE excited about this one. It is an online date so anything can happen but y'all know me...
We are doing lunch then going to the biker rally here in Galveston. It's the last day and it's family day so it's tame compared to the nights.
I'm having half a glass of wine for nerves.. At 10am.

Weren't you with some other dude recently?
Also, good luck I hope everything works out the way you want it too!0 -
Have fun!!! No need for nerves... though a little wine never hurt anyone either!
Can't believe you are going to a bike rally..what an interesting first date.
Good luck and tell us how it goes!!0 -
I wasn't with him. We casually dated for a bit. I decided not to continue seeing him. He's a nice fella but not the one and once I realize that, I lose interest.0

Yeah it's huge here in galveston. I actually went on Friday night with the girls and it was wild. It was my 1st time and he's never gone so we are just going to look around. It's just a bunch of walking and vendors everywhere and cool bikes to look at.0

I understand the feeling behind saying 1,437 1st date.
In a way, it sucks to be going on first dates after a certain age. Because going on first dates when you're older, you realize that you're doing the same thing that you were doing 10 years ago, and that's a stomach churning proposition.
I imagine that it's a little different for someone like Amazona who married young and had about a 10 year marriage as opposed to someone who has never been married. But it still isn't the most palatable feeling. I think everyone who is honest with themselves who is past mid to late 20s would prefer not to have to go on another first date for the rest of their lives. But, first dates, no matter how unpleasant, are better than a bad marriage or bad LTR.0 -
That sounds like a fun/creative date.
I hope you have a good time 0 -
Have fun cat woman!! Meeeowww!!

Looks like there will be a 1438 1st date. I cut it a bit short. We would not work.,, waaaay to different. And zero attraction. He didn't look like his pics.
Boo!!! We had such good "chemistry" over phone.. I thought for sure we'd hit it off. Oh well.0 -

OUCH, did he happen to be like 50 lbs heavier than his pics?, be honest!0 -
Not sure if 50 lbs but he was heavier than I imagined. In his pics he looked lean but wasn't lean in person. Plus he said a couple of things that completely turned me off. He was definitely a country boy but just not my type of country boy.0

I've had this happen so many times I fail to get excited about internet dates anymore. Next! :flowerforyou:0

First dates that do not lead to second dates are the bane of my existence.
It does happen that you'll hit it off with someone on the phone but something will get lost in the in person experience.
What were the things that he said that turned you off?0 -
damn... sorry it did not work out as you had hoped. Moving on ...
I personally have given up on the dating scene. So I will live through all of you lol0 -

At least you gave it a shot! That is more than a lot of people do!0 -
1,438th is the charm!0

I'm the queen of first dates. I can't remember the last time I had a second date, so I feel you! Keep your head up (or at least that's what I'm always told so I'll tell you the same). Until then, you still have that wine! hahaah0

Haha.. Thanks peeps.
Okay we were talking about concerts. It's a good subject, I asked "so what's the best concert you've ever been to?" He said he doesn't really go. He likes to mainly hunt and fish. Okay, cool. Somehow he made a joke about Lady Gaga, that he listened to her. So I decide to tell him I liked her and I saw her in concert. He then says that everybody at the concert was on drugs. :huh: He then says, "I wouldn't feel too comfortable at her concert". He explained the type of people there aren't his thing and they'd make him feel weird.
I asked, "what, gay people? They don't bother you." He kept saying that crowd wasn't his thing but he said as if he were grossed out and they were aliens.
I just said, "oh." We are all entitled to our beliefs but I don't like people who act like they can't tolerate someone else. I have my beliefs but I truly respect everyone and would never treat someone like they're beneath me. There is NO way is let him hang out with my cool fun friends. He'd think we were "on drugs".0 -
Good for you though to realize he's not wasting your time on. I'm a big believe on you know within minutes/hours if guy is worth this "second date" I keep hearing so much about.
Also, I Lady Gaga as well. 0 -
Even if you don't like LG, it's cool. But the thing that mostly turned me off was his negativity. There were other comments he made such as he was boring (um ok), he talked about a guys jacket that came into the restaurant... To me, it should be fun and light. We will get to the negative crap later. Best foot forward in the beginning, I think.0

But hey at least he was himself, not parading himself around like he's something he's not. Better to find out now then 6 months down the line.0 -

ha ha yeah!
Sorry it didn't work out. On to the next!0 -
I totally agree that it was good of him to be himself. I guess imo, he could had beenore tactful about it.0
-
Was your lunch tasty at least? :laugh:0
-
Lol, lunch was good. We went to this nice Italian place and shared a pizza. He took the leftovers home though and didn't offer me any. Punk!
Do y'all take leftovers home on 1st date??0 -

I wouldn't take leftovers home on a first date. But i was one of the ones that wouldn't use a coupon .. lol. I think it falls under the same umbrella as the coupon. Just not something you do on a first date. I am famous for packing up the leftovers and then leaving them on the table ..lol.
But I guess if he paid for the meal .. he should get the leftovers.0
