These Dates

[ZA Dater]

Ok so I decided to take on board some advice here and seeing as I seem to be getting better matches I decided to meet the ones who I found interesting.

 

 

Date: 1: 38yo from Finland

 

 

Ok so another tourist was a nice relaxing dinner/drinks type date, she liked me but was leaving the next day, we are still chatting though. All in all a good confidence booster. It was helpful to try things and just try to be more outgoing.

 

 

She was pretty to me.

 

 

Date 2: 36y local.

 

 

This is the one I eluded to in an earlier thread. She suggested we meet at the last minute and go see a movie. She invited me to a concert two days prior but I had a work commitment. Movie dates are never really ideal but I thought why not just go with it.

 

 

Firstly she is really pretty and we get along pretty well at this early stage, she has been in a long term relationship which has ended and all seems good so far. She paid for half the date, insisted on doing it, which impressed me.

 

 

She isn't much of a drinker she says, not much of a club person either. Quite shy in person, almost timid but seemed to relax around me, I took the lessons from the prior night and managed to bring out some of that outgoing less shy persona.

 

 

All in all these two experiences were quite positive which was really nice for the change.

 

 

I have come to the conclusion its quite harmless meeting people, I can only try get more confident with time, in the meantime I will try park the cynicism to one side and see what I can actually do.

 

 

Granted 36yo is older than what I'd like but at the same time I am pretty aware of the fact she probably doesn't want some 20 something party guy so maybe that's more my market.
