Come on guys, give me your best first date advice.

So I've been chatting to a lovely lady from Liverpool and we seem to get on really well together. So much so that if we are not on MSN we are normally texting (ahh young love ay ). So she asked me today if I wanted to meet up with her sometime to which I said yes.

Now here's the problem, this is all new territory for me and don't want to go making a fool of myself straight off the bat. So this is where the org comes in, what are the do's and don'ts on a first date and where's best to go in Liverpool?

just continue being you mate-she's asked you out so must like you for being you

I do hope that:

a) Your MSN name is not the same as your name here,
b) She is not internet-savvy/stalky enough to look you up and find this thread


- personally, my advice is to just be yourself.

Pretend to be someone youre not, and your making it harder from the offset.


Just keep up with what youve been doing and itll be fine.

PS - wear clean pants.

Erm...don't expect 'everything' at the first meet. Doesn't seem to go down well...!

Relax, act normally and just be yourself. If you like her, then dont overplay the friends card as thats all you might ever be, be confident, but not so confident that you come over like a c0ck.

As for where to go, why not ask her what she'd like to do, if shes from the area she'll know it better than you anyway...

Just dont declaring undieing love / or affection or anything remotely heavy as you'll more than likely scare her off.

Just wing it and play it by ear and take things gently at first and see what / how things develop.

Be yourself!!! Don't try to be someone that you aren't. Relax. Don't feel you have to fill the silence. And don't say things that are untrue. Be complimentary, notice the small details, eg nice nails, nice jewellery, nice shoes (every woman I have ever met likes compliments on her shoes (of all things!!!)) Ask her a lot about herself, show a lot of interest in what she likes and dislikes, make her feel good about herself, take an interest, and listen - don't let it go in one ear and out the other - remember what she says and then comment on it later, it'll show that you listened. Talk about yourself a bit but don't overdo it, you'll sound self-obsessed and rude. If she has a Scouse accent - don't laugh at it. It can be quite hard to understand but listen and you'll soon get the hang of it.

As to where to go - I work in Liverpool one or two days a week, but don't usually go out anywhere. Depends what sort of girl she is... I asked Mrs Ed (who is quite arty) and she said that she would like to go to lunch at the Tate Gallery at Albert Dock and then walk around the gallery. She suggests that looking at the paintings etc will help trigger convo and give you something to talk about if everything else dries up. You'll both either like them or hate them. You could then end up at Cafe Rouge in Liverpool One (nice shopping centre) for a drink and a wind down.

Do report back...

Finally - bring a lot of cash and pay for her!!! No woman likes a meanie.

Offer her a lift home in your beast of a car

No help am i, tbh i know nothing and havent had a serious relationship either so ill just take a seat and watch. (the thread that is)

Bring your SV and an extra lid

Mrs Ed says - take a very small gift - NOT FLOWERS cos she'd have to carry them round all day - and not chocolates - maybe some earrings or maybe a CD, just to show that you have thought about her.
