3rd guy

I mentioned before there is a 3rd guy who's been busy and said that he would like to meet up this weekend. Well, he has emailed me and said let's meet up on Monday night for drinks. I have said yes. I met him at speed dating almost 2 weeks ago and I don't remember what he looks like, what he does, I remember 1 or 2 things he said, but in my speed dating notes, I wrote next to him name "very nice guy"- I was such an idiot for not writing more... but then at that time I didn't think anyone would say yes to me and I was just out having fun.

So what if I don't recongise him on the night? All I remember is that he's blonde and he's good looking.

Nah, you just look prompt! That's what I was going to say too. Then also, try not to look TOO expectantly at the door and analyzing each guy that comes in. Try to be nonchalant so that he'll have to come up to you. That way, you also avoid the looking too keen if you're cool about it.

someone has to be there first, so what if its you. you look on time and theres nothing wrong with that. just play it cool, dont look around at every guy and wonder, just wait for him to find you. good luck!

Good in theory, but if you don't know what he looks like how can you be sure he isn't already there waiting?

30 minutes?? Surely you are joking? Whenever I have arranged to meet a woman at a bar I'm usually there at least an hour early. It gives me time to have a few drinks to settle my nerves.

30 minutes early??? No way!! I'm usually on time for things but when I'm on a date I make sure I'm 5 minutes last and make the guy wait for me.

I've got an idea- what if I call him just before I get there and say that I'm sorry I'm just a bit late and I'm on my way and ask which part of the bar he is?
