You're describing a date. Well done.
You're still NOT describing what the OP is asking about: The Meet.
The meet where you decide if you'll want to shave your legs.
hth
Um when I "meet" them it is on a date. Maybe things have changed(shrugs) but it's how I did things. Maybe you don't do it this way.
I don't really have a need to classify things so I never really thought about it.
Most (99%) of my "dating" was from online. So we had talked long enough to know if there were mutual interests. My first meetup with my SO lasted about 8 hours... we had exchanged emails (lots), texted and talked on the phone up until then.... so that I consider a "date".
It's a "Meet" in my book. Some of those "meets" lasted a lot longer than I intended. God, when I think back to the first guy I met online.
Hahaha......yeah I had a wack-a-do once or twice. Sat at the table in the restraunt and told me he wasn't used to wearing any clothes. Then saw my shocked face. Said he was a stunt double. Then when I caught him in lie after lie...it was "I have a headache time"
I was just curious if you consider meeting up for the first time to be a "date" when done from an online dating site. I don't because I think dates insinuate some mutual interest is already established whereas simply meeting up for the first time is to see if there is any interest in the first place. Thoughts?
I don't. It's about the same as if I met a guy in a bar and sat down and we started talking. It's just an exploration...to see if there is anything there.
There is very little in life that you can count on being "pretty much understood"
on pretty much any topic until you've had quite a while to sort through a fair bit of stuff.
This is especially so as it relates to men and women getting along.
And *that* is the real point here.
How much of that "sorting through" anyone should do before they have even met someone.
Which is why you (ta dah!) meet them.
And as early as possible.
Just don't think of it as a date... 'cause it ain't.
The date (if there is to be one) comes after.
hth
ps: If otoh you're using the word "date" to describe a SWNS hook-up off craigslist or such...
then maybe you should just stop using the word "date" altogether.
You're wrong. It's a date.
Just not a traditional one.
You really shouldn't be agreeing to even meet with people you're not at least attracted to from their pictures and profile.
It's a date. You dress up and go out to eat. Go to a movie or play, or whatever. Ladies shave their legs get nice clothes to wear. Look all pretty. Men get a hair cut, shave or trim their beard. Wear decent clothes. Stop at the bank for cash flow. Usually they talk more and enjoy the activities planned out. Many ladies have a plan if the date goes sour. They have a friend call them or lie to bail them out. Fake a really bad headache(I have done this). I heard of men having friends call them as well. Or double date let the friends help out. Some just endure the date and hope it is done and over. Some love the date and have to wait three days or more for a phone call. Then this makes the lady think if it went well or not.
Good Lord! I don't do all that stuff when I am only just meeting someone for the very first time!!
All women should trim their beards before dates. I'm a little bit disgusted that even has to be pointed out.
Well, of course! But NOT a full shave.
