First date in two years... advice needed


Recommended Posts

Very true Randmart. 

 

I would explain to her that you're really busy, but that you would love to try and catch up, ask her to set a date and try to fit it in. 

 

Are you guys keeping in touch, texting or something? That's a good way of building a raport.

 

Me and the bf met on holiday and kept in touch long distance. Our whole relationship was based on texting and FaceTime. We never even saw each other for a couple of months after the holiday! We live together now, just so you know that it did work, lol! :D

Life is far too short to take seriously

I'm absolutely terrible at small talk. "Go big or go home."  And barely keeping in contact via text, but neither of us has seen the other.

She's NOT going to appreciate it if you ring her up to go out only when it's convenient for you

Well, I disagree

she stood him up twice

it's her turn to make an effort

it has to come both ways or not at all.

 

ofcourse, I'm single.  Very uncompromising.  If it's not "fair", it has to end, the sooner the better.  So perhaps I'm not the best source of advise.  I just feel, that especially in the beginning, it's important to set the right tone for the relationship.  It has to come both ways.

                           |     I will face my fear.  I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

Start to Run      |     And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.

                           |   Where the fear has gone, there will be nothing.  Only I will remain.

First time was lack of follow-up skills on his part

follow-up skills on THEIR part

 

medieval practices are... medieval.  He doesn't require her to be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen either (I hope), she can pick up a phone just as well as he can.
