    Regular poster here.

    I'm a 24 y/o gay guy. Happy in life, have a great job that I love and good friends. I was in a long-term relationship which ended two and a half years ago. I seriously loved the guy and when it ended, he kinda screwed me over and I was in a bad way. Didn't know what to do etc. It took a long time to get over him.

    For about 6 months last year, I was desperately going out and trying to meet a guy. I felt like practically all of my mates were in relationships and I felt left-out and lonely. It didn't work, most guys seemed to just want sex and ones I went on dates with just weren't right. So then I kinda decided that I didn't want a bf and was happy on my own.

    So then a few weeks ago I was out and got randomly chatting to this guy. He was really nice and we scored. He's 25 and has a good job and seems like he's in a good place in life. We swapped numbers and the he asked me to go for drinks last Friday. I was kinda hessitant with nerves, but I went.

    We both totally clicked on Friday, have loads in common and I quite like him and think he like me too. He has asked me to meet-up again this weekend and I said I would.

    Problem is, as I said the other dates I went on were kinda disasters so I haven't gone on a second date with someone since I was like 19 and so I haven't really done "adult" dating. I guess I'm nervous. I like him but I don't know what to do. It's hard to explain. I guess I just want some general dating pointers.

    Thanks for reading!
