I THINK A FIRST DATE IS REALLY A UNIQUE TIME FOR BOTH OF THE INDIVIDUALS. JUST BE YOURSELF AND IS THE CHEMISTRY IS THERE IT WILL BE OKAY.

I think you need two dates to fairly evaluate someone, because the first date can be so nerve racking. I almost did not go on a second date with my boyfriend of 2 1/2 years, I talked too much and he was quiet. My friends convinced me to give it a second chance and it was the best advice. He is the most wonderfull man I have ever met!

Thanks for these great pointers. It's been a long time since I have been on the dating scene (married for 36 years) and these reminders will be extremely helpful.

Well said and vey good advice. Just being relaxed and being yourself makes for an enjoyable first meeting even if it does not generate the chemisty for a long term relationship. If nothing else, a good friendship could evolve. My first meeting was very good!!!

I wish I would have read this 2 weeks ago. It probably would have slowed me down. I was so excited to get such a cute match and one that was communicating with me also. I am positive I over reacted. It has just been a long long time since I have had a man I have cared in my life. It just seemed to me that he cared about me also because he said he was interested.......etc, ....... I probably said too much and too soon. I think my emotions and the way I felt got the upper hand and overran my reasoning and common sense. Now I feel very sad and don't want this to happen again. How can I prevent it?

I didn't even have a date with him, just the emailing and his information and picture thrilled me.

I appreciated the positive nature of the tips - with the red flags - also helped me see what I might do that causes a 'great ending' or a 'red flag'. Thanks.
