if the first date was a failure with the swimming pool idea, bring her to some place where you can have a squirt gun fight, and be sure to aim for her face

* don't read this post with a dirty mind *

the fact she's chasing a second date, after what happened, makes me think she might had lost a bet with her friends...

She'll lose the next one as well, I'm standing her up. There's no way any person would want a second date after that unless they're plotting to get their own back

Indeed. There he is diving into the pool like a demented schoolboy with the tog tent fully pitched for all to see just caused she has a swimsuit on.

DoYouEvenLift, you seem to often speak about women, in what often seems to be entirely in terms of what you have read on the internet about them, usually with quite an 'American website of a certain nature' slant to things as well. You also seem to be basically a decent enough bloke under it all. Perhaps just a little young (late teens very early 20`s?) and a bit misguided and/or misinformed. So I'm going to offer some general advice, do with it what you will.

Perhaps you should, for the time being, as a kind of experiment, try to set aside all the pre-concieved notions and theories and what have you that you have adopted primarily from reading these things online. And instead begin again from a neutral sort of mindset. With that mindset aim to meet women, and get to know them, make friends with some and date others etc. And based on those real life experiences alone, built up over time, allow your own view of women and male/female interactions uninfluenced and unbiased by the Internet stuff, to develop naturally.

Like I say, do what you'd like with the advice, I'm just some randomer off the Internet too after all. But honestly, it's worth a shot right, if even just as an experiment? Best of luck.

Do you actually know any women? It's certainly not unusual for a woman not to want her hairdo completely fcuked out of it by immersing it in water, particularly not water that everyone's children have pissed in.

No running, no diving, NO HEAVY PETTING

Schoolboy error, OP.

Some women aren't able to swim. I seen it in a documentary about them once.

MistyCheese · 16-01-2015 2:23pm

If you're still into this lady (but it doesn't sound like you are) then agree to the second date. Take her to a carnival. Suggest she sit on the platform of one of those 'dunk tanks'. Now, this next step is extremely important, hit the target, that bit is crucial, OP, you must hit the target. With a squirt gun, foam ball, whatever. If you're not confident that you'll be able to hit the target with an object maybe go up and slap it. Or headbutt the thing. Whatever, just make sure you bang that thing good.

If you have followed my instructions correctly OP the lady will have no choice but to fall into the water. Then you will find out for sure if she is a witch. That's what we're doing, right?

Oul' dag for the hard road. I usually bring a rifle, just in case.

I remember someone saying one time that if a girl always wears a lot of makeup, and she does, that a good idea to see what they truly look like without it is to go swimming with them. So when I suggested it she seemed a little sceptical at first but then seemed excited. Happy days, I thought. I'll get to see if she's actually still attractive without all that help.

When it came to it, I was in an out of the changing room in a flash and ran and dived right into the pool, like anyone would. About 10 minutes later she finally came out and walked over to the ladder and began climbing in. Slowly. Extremely slowly. When she got in, she kept her neck out of the water. At all times. For the entire swim. She wouldn't swim at all, just waddled around with her neck above water and refused to go to the deep end. When I asked if she was even able to swim she said she's a great swimmer but doesn't want to get her 'hair' wet.

Who goes into a pool with the aim to not get their hair wet? I went to the deep end on my own to gather my thoughts on how to end the date painlessly for both of us there and then but honestly ended up panicking and got out of the pool and shouted at her from the other end "I-I'm just gonna go to the toilet." I got dressed and left.

I feel kind of bad. Should I apologise and try to end up sleeping with her then get a shower together instead? In hindsight, this would've been a much simpler solution in the first place.

honestly is this your **** material?

You should feel bad, thats beyond rude...
But seriously..if you're attracted to her with makeup on then who cares? Just be happy a girl you find attractive is attracted to you. I think it was mean to bring her to the pool for a first date, maybe she really likes you and is afraid you won't like her without makeup on. Maybe she is very self conscious and hates how she looks naturally. just giver her a break..anyway, personally I don't think looking different without makeup on a big enough deal breaker to not date somebody

So you brought a girl to a swimming pool on your first date.....and she's the strange one??!!!

MistyCheese · 16-01-2015 3:20pm

Feck I'd definitely be legging it if I found a worm 'down there'!

YFlyer · 16-01-2015 3:30pm

You shat in the pool, so had to get out quickly?

Specialun · 16-01-2015 3:32pm

I don't think I have seen this film to be honest

The Diabolical Monocle · 16-01-2015 3:46pm

... so Im on this first date with this potential female from my database, and I've brought her to the genetics lab as a subtle way to examine her genetic background to see if she's good enough to impregnate.... but she's hesitant about giving a blood sample.
So Im all like whatev's, Im off to Dubai for the weekend catch you on the flip side candidate 1756, hope you're still fertile when I get back. Stay away from chocolate and you might still be in with a chance.
Should I re-select her for a 2nd date.

Bingo. Was wondering when this sign was going to appear here.
Iveagh baths in the 70s with all those chipped tiles. We were real men then, we didn't need swimming caps, we just drowned the nits!

Lyaiera · 16-01-2015 4:10pm

Skydiving for the second date. Guaranteed that the wind will blow the makeup right off.

Lucyfur · 16-01-2015 4:24pm

MOD

Trollolololol

Plus, anyone that wears make up or perfume or ANYTHING apart from a swim suit and a hat in a pool is on my List of Bad People.

I'm locking this. So I am.
