Gonna meet someone from OKC in 2 days, advice?

Post Reply New Topic

So, after a little over a year since meeting someone from a OKCupid website, I am going to meet a girl for pizza this Thursday around noonish. Let me stress that I have not engaged in any type of dating since about a year or a year and a half ago, so I am a little nervous. Does anyone have any advice on how I could make this a good date, and not accidentally fudge up?

Be yourself and focus on having fun. Trying to get comfortable and showing someone that you're fun to be around is probably the most important imo.

Don't get attached to outcome. Just, like, whatever.

Realize that if it doesn't work out, then life just stays the same. Stay positive and be yourself! And if she sees that you are nervous, she will probably think it is cute anyhow.

I think you got it down that you should meet in a public place in case he is actually a dude or something, but that is the worst case scenario. Have fun and be your best self.

step one: tell someone where you're going and agree on some "all safe" signal after some time passed, just in case.

after that: go in with a clear mind and try to have fun, treat the date as a regular meetup with a friend.
it's a first meeting in real life; all you have to do is find out if there is a chance that you two will match up so keep the pressure low

Ask them questions and don't hog the conversation. Find out what they like. Don't talk about exes. Check your appearance and teeth (like make sure no spinach is stuck between teeth). Breath mint is helpful and deodorant since you may sweat from nervousness. Make sure you have enough cash for emergencies.

Are you meeting for just a drink or coffee and seeing where things go from there?

Update: It was absolutely an AMAZING date. I did not expect much, but we had A LOT in common.

Just take it one date at a time, and if it doesn't work out don't despair!

Just be yourself- no desair

Do. Not. Be. Creepy.
