Second Date coming up (ladies read up, guys pay attention)

[Whelan]

Well seeming as I have been out of the dating game for 5 years, lol. It has started again. The girl I went on the cruise with (her and her family) and I have started a little thing. During the cruise we hooked up and spent a lot of time together as I did with her family also. It really felt good. So when we got home she got a new job and I offered to take her out to celebrate. Well dinner at a small little italian restaurant followed by a cocktail at a bar then finishing our bottle of wine under a gazebo overlooking Long Island Sound and it was an official date Well we decided a few days later to call it what it is and be exclusive. We are goin slow cause I don't want to rush into anything huge and she knows where I just came from so it is all good. But tonight my plan is as follows. So ladies read up and give an opinion, and guys, pay attention )She is comin down at 7, I am gonna have my little wine kit (everyone should have one) with a bottle of Pinot Noir (her fave). I'll have some cheese and crackers setup with pepperoni and a big blanket. I am takin her to one of the beaches in my town where a short walk puts you away from parking and people. Ploppin down to kill a bottle and let dusk become dark. I'm bringin a small lantern just in case and just relaxin with her on the beach. It should be a fun night for both, I like doing fun romantic things. So what do ya think

[Toasted7]

Sounds like a great plan to me.

That sounds like a nice romantic evening. Don't wander too far from the car, 80% chance of heavy rain/ thunderstorms tonight.

Slip her a mickey... See, Joat and Millster are right, it's best to not take advice from strangers on the internets. Good luck to you though.

[Whelan]

Oh don't take that as me looking for advice. I'm perfectly compitent in that realm.I was looking to give people more of a synopsis of what I've been up to since the breakoff and cruise. Just felt like sharing

[KNINE]

Can I date you?

[ou.grizzly]

Make sure to bring protection, i.e. umbrella in case there is precipitation.

[Charlievibe]

Wow, no other women have responded huh?!?! I am with Colonel, Joat and Millster...don't take our advice. On that note, I am not going to offer up what I think - sorry.Good luck to you.

[bull77]

if my wife read your plans, she'd give me the "look" have fun!

[AKLGT]

sounds like a great plan. good luck and have fun!

[MissyS]

hmm okay, I don't understand what is up with that... So here is what I think... didn't you say in the past that you had a heartwrenching breakup... probably someone you were going to be with for a very long time.....what happened there? Is it truly over? Don't you think it's too soon? Well I hope this time you will be truthful with the girl that you are with b/c I know you stated before from what I remember that she gave you something...illlllll..... And what's up with the ladies read up and guys pay attention...I dont need advice, my man treats me good, he cooks, cleans and treats me like a damn princesses.....he even wakes up early in the morning to bring me my coffee and I've been with him for almost 10 years.... Wow... I really gotta say.. I know how to hold down my man, so no advise needed here......

[808 Vibes]

That sounds very nice...I'm so happy for you

[Sublimewind]

[Whelan]

Yeah it went well, totally casual. Nothing is bein rushed here, just enjoying the company.As for this MissyS person. I was notified by another member (anonymous) of her post. I personally didn't see it till today. But search me as to who they are. Stratford is the next town over from me and I don't know many people that are from there. But I"m not about to start any kind of argument online, that is just dumb.Moving on, each person deals with things differently and it does not make them any better or worse of a person. Thankfully my friends have all been behind me and respecting my decisions.

[Whelan]

It has def. turned to a private matter now. I don't need to bring too much of my private life online, just figured that one was warranted given all that's happened to me. Next post will be pictures of the detailed ride!

Girl finds out you're posting about your date online... might not go over too well... I know you're not getting personal or anything.. no names.. no nothing... but still.. women are sometimes weird about these things...^^^^THIS^^^^Best idea of the day, keep your personal life to yourself and family. Even though names have not been made public, there is still enough information on this forum regarding certain matters to be subject of discussion. I do not think it is specific to "women" or should be labeled "weird" as a male would tend to do something similar. There are always two sides to a situation and the other may wanted to voice their opinion. Quote, originally posted by Whelan »It has def. turned to a private matter now. I don't need to bring too much of my private life onlineIt seems you already have based on several threads that you created over the last 8 weeks or so about house hunting, apartment hunting, the breakup and going to the meet, getting sick and not going to the meet, family vacation next year, the cruise, and now this thread to be more specific.I am not sure what you information you have shared with your former fiance regarding your "online life", but for future considerations you may want to leave it out of the discussions with GenVibe and anyone you do pursue especially on private matters.Glad things went well. It is always good to have a good relaxing time with another be it a solid conversation or just pure silence.
