Translation: She is fat.His wife thinks she is pretty, smart and that she would be allot of fun
I would much rather here what HE has to say about her, not you. And "pretty" can mean a whole hell of a lot of things. I don't use the word loosely, but I've heard many women call another "very pretty" even if she's a heffer. Or "Wow, what a beautiful face she has", when in fact she's still a heffer!Originally posted by: minendo

So as some may know (or not) I am getting a divorce.
It has been months now and I have obviously been looking at everything that walks by me and is female.
Went to a friends house and his wife asked me how I was doing, I said just fine and that things were going to be fine for me.
My bud tells her to just ask me...and I am thinking ask me what ? ? So she asks if I would be ready or willing to go out on a date with someone...
i was kind of stumped, they both know my wife, but they know and like me more.Anywho!
My question is how the heck do you do dates nowadays? I used to remember but now i just do not....she is a couple of years older than me (im 34 and they said she was like 36 or 37.)
His wife thinks she is pretty, smart and that she would be allot of fun...which would be nice right now.
I just dont think i know how to act in this type of situation..anyone care for some pointers? And I dont mean flamed out, kid spawned ones, I would like some info from people who may be divorced, seperated or broken up with a significant other and have moved on..how did you act on your first date out? Was it a horror story or did it go well?
Flame away....

And last I checked, 34 was still not-that-unreasonable of an age to be dating.

Hah, Saigon, you are definitely worrying about this too much. And last I checked, 34 was still not-that-unreasonable of an age to be dating. But you need to set yourself up for this to go well, so for your first date choose something where you can both relax and not have too much pressure. If you can pull it off, come up with something where you can be social and have fun, but where you WON'T end up staring at each other blankly for hours... IE going to a movie isn't social enough, but going somewhere for a long quiet dinner would be a bad idea. And don't put yourself in any situation where you wouldn't be comfortable alone, much less there with someone you don't really know.
It's really not that big a deal.. plus you'll have the added benefit that your friends can prep you/her about each other a bit.. it's totally fair to let THEM know that you're all freaked out because you haven't dated in so long.. and it's also fair to let the GIRL know this - just make sure you bring it up in a "ha ha this is funny I haven't been on a date in forever" sort of way and whatever you do, DON'T DWELL ON IT. It can be a funny thing to mention and chat about lightly, but you definitely don't want to end up pouring your heart out to this girl or anything.
Edit: of course, there's always the old standby, 4 or 5 drinks apiece and you'll find out real fast whether or not the two of you were meant to be.![]()
