Ohh, how did you meet him? where are you going?

He's a paramedic, met him in A&E the other night when a friend's husband was taken ill. Been texting on and off over the weekend.

Meeting tonight in a pub and then going on to eat something, but not meeting til 9.30

I'll try not to pick my nose but I'm worried about farting :o

With the farting you should be OK as long as there are no candles nearby. If there are and you do find yourself engulfed in sheets of anal flame, well, he is a paramedic.

Oh that's fab, at least you have met each other before and aren't going in 'blind'.
If you won't be eating until that late, make sure and eat something light beforehand, maybe at about 6.30-ish, just in case you decide to stay and have a few drinks and never manage to get out for something to eat - getting bladdered on a first date might not be good!

Where are you going to eat? Pub, or restaurant? What were you wearing when you met him?

OhWesternWind · 24/09/2012 17:46

I would go for Jeans and nice top too, not too dressed up, keep the make up fairly light too. Loads of good luck and enjoy it!

I think a restaurant.. most pubs stop doing food by 9ish don't they? He's coming from scuba diving to meet me!

I was wearing a vivien of holloway halter dress when we met.. so very dressed up.. that's what got us talking cos he thought I was into rock n roll and jiving and stuff

oh gaaaaaaaaaawd!!!

ok.. so black skinnies, black top with lacy bits, patent loafers and a biker jacket?

very well done for having the foresight to pick up a bloke while in A&E - you deserve a good night for that! Smile

I would personally go for the shorts and blazer

Sounds promising, Crispy. Medics usually have a stash of black humoured amusing tales to tell and he'll be no stranger to the odd stiff or 10, plus he enjoys going down exploring hidden depths Grin

Let him do the talking and listen carefully to what he's saying as men always reveal who they are within the first date or 2.

izzy, he's definitely a man with a story.. very intriguing but my twat radar is on full beam. One thing in his favour is that hes the same age as me, my last two relationships were 13 and 10 years younger respectively, lol

I went with the shorts, chiffon blouse, opaques and loafers (in case I need to scarper) in the end, just with some diamond ear studs

You're going for an older man and playing the role of ingenue this time? Could be a wise decision, Crispy.

Have a great time and don't forget the essential post-date no holds barred update Grin
