rodders0223 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I don't think I have ever once text my girlfriend how's it going at work or how her day has been and it not be an absolute rant or misery. Gets you down man. Just lie once in a while. "Good." Even a "not bad." I don't think I'll ask anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I’m having friendship dilemmas at the moment and have been for a bit now. Will explain more later on when I get more time. There’s 3 friendships that have been playing on my mind recently. I’ve kind of sorted two of them by deleting their numbers but the other one I just don’t know what to do. It’s nothing major but it all just seems hard work and to be honest I can’t be ***** arsed . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve always had that lone wolf streak in me from an early age, so I could quite easily not hear off anyone for a very long time and not be fussed by it. Work, wife and kids easily keep me occupied. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I lost touch with most of my mates a long time ago. There’s 2 that I’d go to the pub with (rarely). Unfortunately one had a heart attack a couple of months ago and the other has a little girl fighting cancer, so obviously won’t be going out on the lash with me anytime soon.

leemond2008 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Been talking to a bird for a while, we met very briefly for the first time the other week, going to be meeting up again soon, any ideas on what is a safe bet for a "first date" (**** me I hate saying that) other than going the boozer which would be my default option. I'm not the most flamboyant of mofos so I was thinking simply food, film and then a few drinks, Cinema is usually off limits at the start but we both like our films and it'll at least be a talking point when we get out of there. Not planning on DHUTWU just yet but who knows. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted June 15, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 15, 2021 I’ve always thought a cocktail making class would be a good idea for a first or second date. It’s boozey but kinda creative as well. Ghetto golf looks like it would be a “fun” first date too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 (edited) Women tend to be funny about eating in front of new people, especially dates so a meal might put her off. Maybe drink -> cinema -> drink could work. Or whilst the weather is nice something like mini golf, it’ll be a laugh.

Popular Post Ingram85 Posted June 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2021 (edited) Ive never understood taking someone to the cinema for a date. It’s the most anti social “social” thing you can do. You don’t talk to each other sitting in a dark room for 2 hours. Even bowling is better than the cinema. Go for a drink at a countryside pub or summat with a walk by the river. Chance to have a chat, nice scenery etc… Then dinner on the second date.

AVFC_Hitz Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Girls will be a bit weird when it comes to dates. They'll say "I'll leave it to you" and then get disappointed when whatever's gone through their mind all week hasn't happened. Wining and dining is fine but requires thought. If you take them to a nice place they might have expected Nandos...then again if you take them to Nandos they might think you're some sort of cheapskate, and they'll vilify you in the prosecco binge session at Yate's. Something quirky should be a second, third date type of thing. So I'd hold off on the ceramic phallus workshop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandy Lifeboats Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 If the weather is good - picnic in the park/countryside. But don't make it too remote. "I know these secluded woods. You can't even get a phone signal." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drink beforehand to do the usual small talk, then 2 hours where you don't have to speak, then a drink afterwards where you have the movie to talk about. Making conversation all night can be stressful for a lot of people 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottaloo Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 What @Ingram85said. Or if you DO go for a meal, make sure you don't order spaghetti or something with a sauce you could spill down your front. Be safe; nice pub, little or no music. That's what i always did on first dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
