First Date Nerves

Shamozzle

I've been texting this girl for a few weeks now and I asked her earlier if she would like to go to the cinema on Sunday evening and she said she'd love to, great I thought but as Sunday edges closer I am getting increasingly nervous. I'm a shy guy by nature and have never really been on a proper date with a girl (not while sober anyway). To make matters worse I have never actually met this girl, we exchanged numbers on a dating site and have been texting every day ever since. We get on well and have a laugh, she's really easy to talk to and she's gorgeous too.

Don't really know why I started a thread about this but I guess I'm just looking for other people's experiences and advice.

Half a naggin of vodka in a soft drinks bottle before you go in. It will loosen you up whilst not feeling the effects of being drunk. Have a **** before it too.

Make sure to rub your penis up and down her leg half way through the film, tongue hanging out the side of your mouth eyes rolling in your head. she'll love that.

The what now?

Text her and ask her does she fancy a drink instead. You can then chat and get to know each other, without the awkwardness of the cinema. Nobody wants to eat popcorn or slurp their drink! You cant talk, you have to sit there and you get hot and sweaty with the nerves!

Drinks are much easier, and she's more likely to sleep with you after a few vodkas!!

Last bit was said in jest...kind of.

Don't do the cliché dinner or cinema.

Do something that allows conversation but should the banter die you still have something fun to be doing together.

Like sex.

I can't drink as she lives a good bit away so I'll be driving.

Steve O

Bring soft drink flavoured rohypnol, be the gent and buy her drinks.

Full proof.

I'd have a job, she died in a car accident 7 years ago.

But if you do, be sure to get the large popcorn and cut out the mandatory hole in the bottom of it

Hazys

You're definitely going to score so i'd say put the condom on now to save time later.

Praetorian Saighdiuir

Don't foget the customary popcorn surprise.

EDIT:- Damn you Vic!

Oh and get a small popcorn...it will make it look bigger.

There are no rules when it comes to dating.

It's up to the individuals. If they're happy with it then that's all the matters.

Clean the pipes OP.........

And as for all the "dating" experts roaring at you not to go to the cinema on a first date............... I'm with my missus over 10 years....... first date, the cinema.

Watch the movie perhaps?

Some advice:

-Don't go to the cinema, go to, say, a decent restaurant instead or somewhere that you are comfortable so you will feel relaxed. Offer to pay the bill, if she offers to pay half, then let her.
-Be yourself, don't do anything you wouldn't do around people you respect
-Dress properly, wear decent clothes e.g round neck jumper with shirt underneath, good jeans, nice shoes that are not formal nor casual either

When you try to put your arm around her and it goes wrong and you're sitting there in absolute horror trying to decide to remove it or leave it think of the joy you're bringing to the people in the row behind you as they watch.

But then you only have the film to talk about, the point of a date is to get to know the other person.
