Simple. Treat her in such a way that she is made to feel good about herself.

you sure are asking for a lot

but man o we are worth it n'est pas?

Have a date that was a real big FAIL?? Share.

Last night I went on my first "date" since seperating.
The man I went out with is about my age and lives by a friend of mine. I have had casual conversations with him here & there for months. He asked me to go out to dinner.

He took me to a place that serves mostly HUGE hunks of meat entrees.
It was noisy and service was slow. He tells me he & his buddies like to eat there. (??)

So, while waiting for food, he tells me that he prefers dating women a lot younger than me, and he didn't want to take me to the place he usually takes them because he didn't want to run into any of them.
He talked right over me about dating younger women and so I asked him why he asked me out then. He told me that he didn't feel like sitting at home alone. WOW!!! I stood up,told him he could sit here alone and left.

Nice welcome back to the dating world...NOT!!!

Well for me I usually invited the lady over for an early supper and do the cooking. I ask her what she likes (as long as I can cook it) and its usually grilling something in the back yard. I make sure she feels comfortable in this setting (which most did) and that way there was not waiting for food or service!!! I always made it clear if they felt uncomfortable at anytime, I would give them a ride home with no questions asked and I NEVER had that happen.

It has been a very very long time since I dated. I have only been married once, was married to the same man for -- years. I am sure a lot of things have changed, but basic courtesy should still be around. I wouldn't talk about my ex on a date and don't want to hear about all the other YOUNGER women he's dated. I am old fashioned enough to think it's very tacky.

I am sure there are many really wonderful guys of all ages out there. I am not men bashing at all. I just think a date should be about two people getting to know each other. I refuse to settle for being an excuse to not sit at home. I believe I deserve better than that.

There was one guy I met at a pool hall. We played a few games of pool, during which he had several beers. Then had dinner at the bar, during which he either talked about his ex, or hit on the bartender. And asked me if I was into women after hitting on the bartender several times.

Another date I had was not necessarily bad, but the poor guy was just boring. All he wanted to do was talk about Star Trek! Even after I let him know that I didn't watch it and knew nothing about it, he still kept trying to steer the conversation back to Star Trek.

Ha Ha. You are lucky he didn't wear the spock ears on the date or did he?
