I got a plan for a first date and seeking advice (75)
Sounds great! But for me, I prefer no flowers on a first date. Makes me feel like a heel if I'm not into the guy. As it is, they usually get mad that they've spent so much money & get nowhere for it. Yes, I've had guys throw that in my face. I like just a casual place... not talking McDonalds though... & nice conversation.
And you're right.... DO NOT talk about any ex's!!!! BAD NEWS!!

yeah, I´d have to nix the flowers as well, especially a single red rose (symbol of love) If flowers are important to you then a small bunch or colorful, natural flowers.
The only other comment I would make is to see if there is a connection over dinner before suggesting coffee or drinks... and while I agree about you picking up the check for dinner, if she wishes to buy you an after dinner drink then I would gracefully accept. (this is something I like to do if I like a guy)
Good Luck Stooie and remember the most important thing.... be yourself!!!

That's the problem with first dates... especially when you live in different countries... I'm trying to keep it simple...We have never met.... now that is a lot of pressure for both of us for a start....
I will be myself... I do know how to woo a woman...(STOP LAUGHING)... but that was yonks ago....
The last date I had... she approached me..... get this she said 'when are you taking me out for dinner'....I was gobsmacked and said.... 'whenever you want'!!!!!

I don't tend to be an overly nervous person... I work with strangers everyday, and they buy from me sometimes for thousands of pounds/euro's or Dollars...
I don't want her to feel nervous.... mind you she called me... I was waiting before I did this... so she is confident too

Stooie: I had a bad date last wek from someome from the U.S.. You don't sound a thing like him by the way. 1.-- Do Not talk about any ex's or all the material things you might have 2.--Try to keep the conversation mostly being interested in her without sounding like you are asking for a resume. 3.--LISTEN and last but not least 4.--Have fun!!!!!! My date talked about everything he owns and all his websites and where he has been just last year, Phoned a woman when he as next to me watching a movie and never said a please or a thank you for anything. I even had his dog here. Well just have fun and that will be the charm!!!! Good luck although I think you will be fine the way you are.

1. I'll pay for everything. even if she feels obliged to pay her way
2. I'm planning on taking her out for dinner rather than meeting for 'a coffee and a chat'
3. I'll be there early and not late.
4. I am not to expecting anything in return!
5. I'm confident, but i would like to take charge of the evening, not dragging her around but have planned the locations, the meal.. the coffee's or even drinks later, so we won't be sitting there scratching our heads...'wot do we do now?'
6. I'll dress appropriately for the date... She'll know where we are going... and what type of place it will be, so she can dress comfortably too
7. I won't be focusing on myself during the evening, And I won't talk about ex-girlfriends.
8. I'm thinking on the lines of it being like a good meal - when we finish our meals, I was thinking it would be the best time to finish a date.
9. I considering giving her a single Rose (too cheesy?)
10. I'm hoping that should the first date be a success... we'll will arrange to meet again, if it goe's badly..... I'll be back for more advice
