Definitely internet dates are very different in that respect - most initial questions are already asked, so the two can just relax and be themselves without pre-planned questions/conversations.
Can you give an example - couple of threads titles?
Also, if you say women are participating and men "are very happy to see them in these threads" which means men are also participating... ... then to which gender the title of this thread "The cruel Creation" refers?
RE: When you go on that first date what do you...
I had very few first dates after my long-term relationship (7 years).And yes, John, I was nervous a little, but not uncomfortable, it was fun.
That I don't know.
I don't think that changing this feeling will (on it's own) insure that the date will be successful.
Both understand that a bit of tension is normal when ppl first meet.
