Impressing the opposite sex - insider tips.

Rumpy Pumpy

I've been trying this online dating malarkey recently. This evening involved inviting a lady I've met for four dates over for dinner. I really couldn't fault the meal myself. Top class. Fish starter, classic French meat course for mains, a light dessert to finish. The music was the type of soulful indie that we both like. I'd bulked up the book shelf with some fairly obscure works of literature to show that I read important books.

We ended up watching an episode of Narcos. I made a passing remark that my belly was in danger of looking like Pablo's. Her Halo arrived and we said goodnight.

I'm now considering committing a grievous act of self-love upon myself. What went wrong though? A real shcmuck here.

You should have doctored one of your bank statements, like adding a few noughts on the credit side, and left it lying around as if inadvertently.

Just come straight out and ask her if she TIUTA, you might be pleasantly surprised.

Sometimes you just have to try to throw the gob on her and hope for the best

I came here for tips?
Did not get any.
I was told there would be tips.

You impress her by explaining the star trek multiverse, woman love star trek.

Step 1. Be attractive.
Step 2. Don't be unattractive

She thankfully copped that - made you look like a serial killer

Sure didn't Hitler meet Eva braun while massacring a box of chicken?

You didn't twerk for her after Narcos? Works for me every time. Would recommend.

Very little genuine advice so far. Fake Plastic Trees by Radiohead did come up on the playlist. There was that silence where we both decided to retreat into our minds and chew over the moments that had left us in this place.

Is that a euphemism? I'm out of touch with the slang you young whippersnappers use these days.

I'd say you answered your own question in the OP. If you have to discuss anatomy keep it well above the belt until you see the halo slipping of its own accord.
Anyway why worry? There are other fish. Put it down to experience and move on. Regard the encounter as an instructive dummy run.

ardinn

ok

Date four im usually hoping I didnt get her pregnant 3 times allready - wtf is wrong with you - this is your fault!! Dont think otherwise - Have you kissed her yet?

So... you ate some food and watched a bit of tv...?

Maybe it's just me, but the whole detailed planning of a date seems a bit pointless - not to mention way ott - if all you're gonna do is eat some grub and slouch in front of the idiot box!?

Perhaps I'm missing the gravitas of the meal here... but tv ? As your main weapon of choice?

Try reading one of those obscure books... might make you more interesting!

Chijj

She's probably thinking to herself why didn't you make the move.

NERD!!!!!!!

She came over for dinner.
You watched Narcos afterwards.
She went home.

Unless she brought an overnight bag of some description, she may well have planned on going home from the outset.

You may not have done anything wrong.

Tata ama Pablo.

JupiterKid

Play some Nick Drake, Vangelis or Stina Nordenstam, Dido or Air's Moon Safari.

Women love that music. I think. But then I'm gay so what would I know?:pac:

I've played that music and had lady friends try to come on to me even though they were aware I played for the other team...:o I have to add that copious amounts of wine were involved.

No need to panic yet OP, she may be just making you wait that little bit longer before she jumps into the sack.

ThinkProgress

He totally messed up... Should have whipped out the twister board.

It's literally impossible to play twister on a date and not end up naked at some stage! :P

My fav way to be attracting the irish wimmins at closing
Time is by scent....

Not your expensive after shave,
Or lynx

Simply
Dab some vinegar around your neck and wait ...

They can't help themselves and often run towards you and don't under stand the attraction

It's simple, you smell like a bag of chips

Works every time

Surreptitious

Did you even get a snog?

Are you actually posting about our date on here?? I can't believe you Anthony

PLEASE JESUS MAKE THAT BE HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Insider tip: be good looking

Hammer89

So, like, I'm just back from this date, with this guy, and he tried to seduce me with Narcos. I mean, seriously!? Why not just put on ****ing Hostel or Rambo for god sake. I wanted to take War and Peace of his book shelf and slap him with it. I could tell he wanted to, like, slap me with something too, but that so wasn't happening tonight, and probably won't happen in the fifth, sixth or seventh date either unless he treats me like a girl instead of one of his mates. I thought he was going to challenge me to a game of darts or ask me who should replace Roberto Di Matteo. I'll give him one more chance, because the food was fab and I haven't had French meat since that night with Pierre, but my patience is running thin.

Butters1979

Be really good looking.

Edit: beaten to it dammit

Junkyard Tom

Make her a TDK mixtape of your favorite tunes for her JVC boombox.

smallorfaraway

Made dinner and watched telly? Sure you could have done that with your granny.

I wouldn't know about that. But, I do know that Heinrich Himmler was a f**king Chicken Farmer, before he got to be Reichsführer of the Schutzstaffel, and a complete chicken sh1t.

Come to think of it? Dropping nuggets like that into my conversation is probably why I always leave the pub alone

Never try to impress the opposite sex.

Just be.

They will either be impressed by who and what you are, or they won't.

The last time I was online dating I was riding 4 a week, no dinner, breakfast or tea.

Bears don't count.

Anyhoo OP- she might be waiting for you to go after her. She's probably out in the hall freezing as it's been a couple of days! Go check and bring a blanket!

Your Face

Sad.

Teyla Emmagan

That all sounds very impressive OP. I would have definitely at least pity shagged you for the effort.

Not sure about Narcos though. All those subtitles aren't that sexy.

gramar

OP you schmuck...you made dinner and then you sat down to watch telly with some music to slash your wrists by on in the background.
She'll be oh so grateful for showing you how great life will be after you're 10 years married. Go out you spa...a restaurant...a comedy club...a bar..theatre...anyfcuking thing but don't cook her some wanky french meal and then sit at opposite ends of the sofa in your bedsit watching a fcuking tv series.
She'll be thinking that if this is what you do now how amazingly exciting will things be in years to come. NOT!!!!!

Jen44

sounds like a great date! Say she really enjoyed it! Who wouldnt want to watch Narco's! Less talk about the fat belly tho maybe, thats more been married for ten years stuff, you generally care what the other half looks like at the beginning!

CalamariFritti

What if she asked what this or the other book was like? :eek:

Winterlong

Swap the dinner and telly for Posh restaurant and coctails and you will be on the right path.
Were you trying to bore her in to bed?
