First date in 12 years tomorrow. What do I need to know?
10-21-2016, 01:42 PM
Age ain't a thing man !
Triple C's - Cool Calm Collected
I like doing interactive things where we can have fun and talk - shooting pool or bowling over a drink are great ideas for a first date. (Afterall you guys met at the gym !)
Just have some fun and don't think about it too much, last thing you need is anxiety before meeting up and during the date.
I usually workout, shit, shower, eat, then head to the date pretty relaxed.
Take charge and make the plans, then roll with the flow - let her do the talking - women love to talk.

- Watch and listen to COMEDY as you get ready..
- Get into that light-hearted, fun loving, wise cracking, burlesque sort of mood
- Talk to a variety of people, including other girls; BEFORE the date
- Get to the venue early but don't go inside -- walk around the neighborhood talking to people and getting socially "warmed up"
- Don't mention age until she does.. Casually play if off as if the age difference is no big deal, which, it is not. (I don't want to advise you to lie about your age because that opens up other potential problems -- Just be honest and live with the consequences.. Or, shave a few years off and live with those consequences.. ? Tough call.. Your decision.. Honestly, the truth is easier in most cases)
- Understand the being nervous is normal and natural -- it's just your body getting ready to compete.. Not a big deal at all!
- Have fun. Entertain yourself.
- Maybe, have one drink as you're getting ready
YOU ARE A BAD MOTHERFUCKER! GO HAVE FUN OUT THERE! IT'S YOUR FUCKING PARTY!
FUCK IT!!!
I will be waiting for a complete report of what happened!

Do shave.
Should I shave off the stubble I usually keep?

It all comes down to having fun. Just enjoy the time you have, feel comfortable in your own skin. Don't say any stupid shit.
That is the most important thing, make the situation for YOU to feel good. Laugh and lead. Simple and easy.

and I thought I was bad by not having been on a date in 3 months (since I came back from Russia) lol. Rex, can you tell me what led you to not having a single date in 12 years? Did you completely ignore all women in your daily interactions?

Well I guess this whole thing is a big
The date itself was fine, but it didn't take me more than a few minutes to decide I was not physically attracted, and she raised more red flags than a Chinese Olympics.
Summary: early 30's, majored in Sociology and Women's studies, perfumed like grandma so the smell made me a little sick, and...somewhat recently lost
over a hundred pounds.
On the other hand I was totally fine just staying in the moment and conversing and joking about whatever for 3 hours. I practiced my conversation skills. Anyway, I decided to friend-zone myself by absolutely zero escalation, and hopefully exiting gracefully. However, even before getting home I had a text saying she wanted to meet up again.
Oh well, it was a good experience. But it shows me that I am really at the bottom.
Need some more leads.

And as someone whose never had a 'date', tell me how did the first 10 minutes or so go? Was it like a job interview and you asked each other about your work and stuff? Or were you somehow able to get into a fun 'vibe' fairly fast?
It started off with the boring job interview stuff but then moved along to other topics. I didn't really think about it- I guess I just made observations about what was said and then kept doing that. I'd say it was about 85% the girl talking about herself with my various questions and 15% of me answering questions.

I am concerned for RexImperator. This is not the first thread of his that has furrowed my brow.
I've been very open about my lack of experience and success with the ladies in many other threads, but I don't want to wallow in self pity. Sometimes it's almost like people don't believe me.

Rex,
You've got 2 choices at this point. Feel sorry for yourself that you didn't bang a hottie last night. Or pat yourself on the back that you finally approached, finally got the number, and finally went on a date.
My advice is to choose option 2. Feel good that you made your first step. And try to approach a few more women this week. Keep positive and use the little momentum you have to push yourself forward.

Online is such a horror show.
Maybe I should research bars that cater to divorced MILFs and cougars.

^ you want to get laid? Online is exactly where you want to be.
Is it possible that you're expecting too much? i.e your looks and status (and confidence/game) aren't commensurate with the womens' you're expecting to have sex with.

You can't give up after a date with one girl.

Rex, what do you look like? Where do you live? I think online may be your best bet. I forgot about that greenman thread -- I wonder how he's doing.
