When is your date? What sense to you get from her picture and from talking to her? I suppose since you are a guy we won't get into all the "what are you going to wear" discussion. : )

Hey, why can't we on the "what are you going to wear"?


I'd like to know what, if any, thought process a man does go through on getting ready for a first date. My DH always dressed nice enough, but he does now when we go out. I suspect he was never trying to impress me in that way at all. But I'd LOVE to hear a guys thoughts on it.

I am sure he will let us know since you asked... but I was thinking the more typical scenario is the OP is undecided on what they will wear and we all chime in with suggestions and pointers, and I am going to be surprised if Brian really needs our 'help' in that area :)

But since we are going to go there... Brian: are you meeting for dinner, drinks, something else? Details please!

Well, let's see.... J is a business exec. We've exchanged a lot of e-mails, but not talked on the phone yet. J is 39, 5'5" (I'm 6'1") and very pretty.

Hmmm, as far as what I will wear....I'm pretty casual, so maybe some khaki pants and a shirt. About the only unusual thing (for me) is I'll use some cologne (I usually don't, messes with my allergies) and wear something else besides running shoes. (My work is very casual....in fact the "shorts rule" does into effect in another month.

The date is next Thursday, at a brewpub/restraunt we both know about.

I usually get a little nervous about this...try not have a bad hair day, not commit self-sacrifice with the razor. I also don't work on my cars or anything messy that day. Mechanics hands on a first date is a no-no. I make sure I have pics of my kids in my wallet.

I'm a pretty funny guy, so the conversation usually goes well. I try to let her decide what she wants to talk about. My biggest problem is reading my date, I still have problems picking up on the body language.

I do try to get a casual touch or a moment of hand holding in...that seems to tell me a lot for some reason.

Oh, I'll need to get a new box of condoms....just in case.

LOL....made you look!

That's what I call positive thinking...you don't just need A condom in your wallet, you need a WHOLE box:)

Have fun!

Hand holding but only a moment for the first date! LOL. She might be like me and not want to be touched. LOL. So anyone who had the box of condom ideas with me, you wouldn't even get to first base. LOL. Wishing you happy hair day! - Catherine

p.s.: body language, what a great post. Thanks for the idea!
