How to go on a date
It made me
Confident
 "FINALLY went on my first date with, as odd as it sounds, a guy who found me on a webcomic forum."
How I did it: I can't say I was actually trying, to be perfectly honest. I'm extremely anti-social and only really come out of my shell on the internet. One of the members of a webcomic forum I'd been a part of for a while noticed that we lived in the same city. After talking for a few days, he asked me out to lunch and I said yes despite myself. Lessons & tips: A) Be open to new experiences. I'd been asked to meet in real life by others before but always said no. B) Be careful about strangers. He was nice and very open about meeting during the day in a public place of my choosing, where I felt comfortable, and plenty of people knew where I would be. Resources: The web. It may sound kind of sad to date someone from online (or not, depending on who you talk to), but facing facts, the web removes a lot of walls for us. We get to see a(n honest) person for who they truly are, without either party being too nervous to be truthful. I got asked out based solely on my personality. You can't say that's not incredibly flattering.

How I did it: Recently had an acquaintance/friend from work(who I happen to knew "liked" me in some way) transform in to more. We exchanged numbers and started talking even more than we did at work. I liked him but there were some differences that kinda held me back. We planned a movie date to see Transformers 2 which was more of a "hang" at first but as we talked more turned into a date and we ended up having a few pre-date "dates". I'd de… Read how I did it…

How I did it: I decided to be more open minded and just "date" people - without checklists or expectations. But you know what? There's a reason I dont actively "date", and thats cos I DO have checklists and expectations and SO WHAT? Dating a guy just for the sake of "giving people a chance" is lame!! Some people just DO NOT have a chance and then you just feel bad for letting them think they ever had a chance.Yes I got free dinners, movies, but blah i … Read how I did it…

How I did it: I met this guy at a friend's birthday party. He got my number off our friend and messaged me to ask if I wanted to see a movie with him. I agreed, so we went out. Like a perfect gentleman, he picked me up at the door, paid, and made no sleazy moves :) Read how I did it…

very excited
How I did it: After not dating at all for two years post-divorce, I realized I was lonely and would like to make new friends for talking and adventures. I put up a profile on several free online dating services. I began talking to a number of gentlemen, tried to screen out the weirdos and those only looking for casual sex, and finally connected with someone enough to want to meet him. There was as much attraction in person as online, … Read how I did it…

I can’t even beleive theres a round 2, but yeah there is. Italian food, thats what she likes based on what her close friend told me. I ve read this awesome quote that its not about how many rounds do we meet, how much fun we had, but its how happy she can feel.
So dude do your best to make others happy, feel relaxed, the best awesome time they ever had in their whole life. It has never been about u. You think its about u, but its not.
Lets see how the story goes ;)

Round 1

I think i always go out on dates, but its just never spelled out. Its always casual and the point has always been to have as much fun as u can.
But 2nite knowing that my friend is setting me up, hmmmmmm, kinda gives a different tone 2 it. Well no way im backing out of this. Just be myself. No expectations. No judgement. No destination. Lets just get to know people. Lets build bridges, friendship, connectedness.
Puck that damn squirmy thing in the stomach, its ok 2 be human and get a bit nervous. Enjoy the bloody ride. Embrace the journey :)
i will be the one for you

Having being in two… shall we say unconventional relationships so far, neither of which contained a ‘dating’ period really, I kinda feel like I’ve missed out on the whole teenage dating stuff. I’m talking the really corny shit here. I want cinema dates, I want the yawn-and-stretch, all that stuff. I’m not particularly looking for anything at the moment, I just want to hang out and get to know folk like. People of Glasgow, here I come?
Haven't gone on one in several years!

Due to some unfortunate circumstances, I suffered a major bout with depression and all but became a social hermit.
Now I am trying to learn social skills while meeting new people, and completely and totally accepting my homosexuality so I can date a guy without feeling guilt or panic. I’m not religious, by the way. I’m just terrified of all kinds of relationships. You could say I’m a commitment-phobe.
It would be so nice to go on a nice date and just enjoy myself.
one month later... success (finally)

I went on my first date last night! Having been dating the same gentleman for 21 months it was, admittedly, a little over-due, but we had great fun putting on our big-boy/girl pants and sitting up straight and nodding knowingly at the waitress, who giggled. My boyfriend is one snazzy character. “What is he?” an elderly couple sitting nearby asked me. “Does he sing? Does he dance? He must be some sort of entertainer!” Nope. Sorry.
After dinner we got ice cream cones at the drugstore and let some woman take photos of us posed in front of the A&P. And then I went to my junior prom.
All in all, a goal I enjoyed accomplishing, and one I hope to revisit in the future. :)

i haven’t been on a date in ages. literally. i move so slow on this one. love has become a concept, something unrelated to me. maybe i am just to happy alone. hmmm. whatever i do want to go on a date!
also, i move slow on everything else, too, so that doesn’t mean anything.
Finding the fortitude...

Honestly, I just haven’t found the right way to transition from friendly small talk to the act of “asking out.”

squim asks,
“I'm very nervous about this goal. I want to ask out this guy I know. I think he likes me, but I'm not sure. Basically I don't want to make a fool out of myself. Any ideas?”
