I like it when a man offers to pick me up for a date but seeing I meet men from cs whom I don't know I insist on meeting in a public place and drive myself. Yesterday I had a date and made an exception/mistake I let him pick me up at a designated landmark. I insisted we go for drinks whereas he wanted to go and drink a bottle of wine he had brought himself at the beach. This really put me off and I won't be seeing the man again. In the end we didn't go to the beach. I insisted we stop at a bar but I've sworn never again to let a man pick me up even though he was a gentleman. I don't know if his intentions were to be romantic or otherwise but I didn't like his idea of wine at the beach. Also he never stopped talking on his mobile throughout the date. I thought he really had bad manners.

i was confused myself. drinking at the beach can be romantic but I didn't feel comfortable doing that on a first date. At least the bar was quite deserted. I don't know what's happening to me I'm on my guard all the time but it just didn't seem like a wise idea at the time. You know a couple of drinks on an isolated beach and you can easily be taken advantage of.

Maybe he had plans for you and him talking and enjoying some wine on the beach.If he was a gentleman why not see him again?

I don't try to figure some people out.They meet a gentleman they complain.He's not a gentleman they complain.Go figure.And some people wonder why they're still single.

Going to a bar on a first date would've been a no no for me since I don't drink anyway.

lol quite a lot actually but they're just encounters getting to know men over a coffee. Don't get away with the idea that anything intimate goes on as happened in another thread. I get invites, meet the guys and talk. This week I had three dates but cancelled one. I keep trying to find a good one but he's eluding me so far!

I would say,very popular with your dates,now,what you are doing having a date with someone,is entirely your affair.Don't give up,he cannot eluding you for long.

You are thinking wisely .- - - - - you never know so first date definitely always in public, just to be on the safe side - - - sometimes one does get to know a man so it is ok to get picked up - - - but in the end you never know - - - and him speaking all the time on the phone - - - it means that if he was not able to shut it off during your first date - - - - you can imagine how much attention you would get in the future :)

It is easy to play a gentleman to put an act - - - so "the guy was a gentleman" is no assurance, and the guys who really are giving an image of perfection - - - - I'd keep my guard up in a woman's place, cos in the end nobody is perfect wine in the end I think one should be him / her self from the first date on - - - cos all to often people pretend on dates and then the more you get to know them, the more you see that they are full of it - - - - Sometimes somebody don't appear to be to "classy" at first glance, but in the end, you get what you see and that's not that bad if a guy is ok and decent grin
