It definitely is important to do what you're comfortable with...and also if your date suggests a dog walk (and that's your kind of thing) you'll know you're on a similar wavelength from the off.It’s really about what you’re comfortable with, isn’t it? I’m just not a dressing up/cocktail bar type of person
We went for a walk with his dog for our first “date”, sat and talked for hours, it was lovely - that’ll be 2 years ago in a few weeks, best 2 years of my life
Effort and safety are my concerns. I have no issue with a walk, coffee or night out for a first date. So long as I feel safe xxIt definitely is important to do what you're comfortable with...and also if your date suggests a dog walk (and that's your kind of thing) you'll know you're on a similar wavelength from the off.
One of my friends went on a dog walk for her first date some years ago (her ideal kind of date) and 10ish years on they're now married
There's no right or wrong but there should be some effort by the man IMO.
What thread was this supposed to be for? Intrigued
But seriously, I’m not bothered about the amount spent or whether it’s a classy establishment or not—but he does have to pay for it, for at least the first few dates anyway. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been wined and dined in the most expensive of restaurants, and I liked it but the guy still turned out to be an asshole. So now I look a bit deeper than the window dressing (literally).
Not at the moment but may go back soon as I'm thinking of changing gear work-wise. It would mean 2 years of living like a monk though (the exam I've in mind has a less than 10% success rate
). Not sure how people can manage to balance everything + have some sort of dating life lolI'm studying for insurance exams alongside work parenting etc
Where do you find these men???? Holy tit can someone find ME a man that will send me money every time I'm unwell? Like, please give me all the tips on finding them. The "men" I used to date would think paying for takeout pizza once a month was more than generous, but expected me to reciprocate with sex. (And yes, that is past me having standards so low you couldn't even limbo under them, I know.)
Is this via CII?
It sounds better than it is
He was just very generous - I’ve dated a few guys like it, who like to spoil and it made them happy to see me treat myself. It wasn’t seedy, he’s just a very successful (self made) guy who liked to take me out to nice restaurants and hotels. He has daughters who he also treats well (not in a spoilt way) but makes sure they’re looked after, as he does his mum and sister. I’m probably one of 5 but he’s genuinely a nice guy to chat to and spend time with as a friend…and the food is always good!I study horticulture alongside pt job and 3 yr old. Just found out this morning I passed my exam which is 50% of my course, so pleased.
It is indeed
