PJ's and Downton from now on!
You need to meet a nice young man, have you considered joining the Young Conservatives?
Sometimes, emsz, you're probably right to just admit early on there's nothing working!
Rachel
Don't fret....I've been asked that many a time 😕
True.
Honesty is the best policy.
Although, as long as you have been honest from the start- as I have come to realise.
You can be honest to a point. Just don't be rude for no reason.
...oh and obviously you havn't met the right man yet, emsz.
[i]Sometimes, emsz, you're probably right to just admit early on there's nothing working![/i]
I've been on a couple of dates where I admitted that right at the end...
yeah - don't be rude - some of us can be a little sensitive with that question!! 😉

just throw your hands up in air and scream in shock and horror and then run off weeping...works everytime

Have we dated?
Don't fret....thats happened to me many a time 😕
Lolz! 😀
Have we dated?
you'd remember the duct tape and stinging sensation of the taser if we had.... 😆
That's a yes then 😀
"I've got to go, I'm out of cream and this rash is killing me"
" Oooh, it's like a penis, only smaller..."
just behave like this
"big head,big head,big head"
Emsz, the old ‘I'm just going to the loo, back in a minute’, then climb out of a window trick always seems to work... 😀
Since the last relationship advice I gave you ultimately lead to doom, I think I might keep my trap shut this time.
Anyway, "dating" is only for people who missed the boat first time round. You're too young for that!

How about carbon dating?
Judging by some of the Conservatives on here, I think you can cancel the idea of nice.
Who would those be, monkey boy?
You need a pre-arranged call for an emergency that you need to help at. About 15 minutes after meeting should do it.

Sigh.... its the story of my life. I think its my moobs that sometimes leads to the confusion

Being married may be a pain with the constant insults and nagging but at least I don't have to suffer the embarrassment and uncertainty of dating any more.

Well, I don't think all good manners have to go out the window just because dating is involved. You agreed to go on the date, (one hopes, blink twice if you are writing this from a basement) you owe the datee the courtesy of at least staying an hour or so. Then do the "we didn't really click, did we ?" speech. And fantastic as you are and a massive catch an' all, it is entirely possible they have come to the same conclusion.
I always go and wait outside the pub loo window if the datee excuses themselves for a call of nature.
"Fancy meeting you here!"
hels has it - you're there for the evening so might as well enjoy yourselves, even if you don't click. Then, be honest and say you just don't fancy her - it's okay to not fancy someone! (I do it all the time!)

If it is going pear shaped rapidly (the evening not your date!!) this may be useful:[url= http://gizmodo.com/5925079/easily-escape-bad-dates-when-eharmonys-matching-algorithm-fails-miserably ]http://gizmodo.com/5925079/easily-escape-bad-dates-when-eharmonys-matching-algorithm-fails-miserably[/url]
😳 sorry rach, didn't think!
She was just doing the whole butch thing... Not my type!!
Cheered me up anyway reading this, it's just such a minefield first off, DON'T let you mates set up blind dates, and second it's probably better just to say no if your a bit unsure when some one asks you and they're just not your type!!
And you didn't spot that when you agreed to go on a date? Or was it beer goggles?
emsz aren't you looking for a lady rather than a man? There are NO pretty lady (or men) conservatives out there thats for sure! 😆

"Do unto others as others would do unto you"
Consider how you would feel/react if your date had said this to you!
+1 for not letting mates set you up for blind dates,
i got set up with a girl (quite) a few years ago, by a mutual friend.
she looked nice, quite chatty, and seemed keen.
however i made the mistake of giving her my number before i left, with the result that it took more than a year to get rid of her, she was a complete psycho. eventually had to change my number.

John Major wouldnt agree with that....

She's one of the few politicians whose spitting image puppet looks more real than she does
Ah this takes me back... worst one I had was the stunner, I worked for ages to get to go out with me (first time she walked in the pub, I was like WOW!).
So then eventually we go out and oh my, she was so dull. Gutted 🙁
I'm not usually one for body snarking, but blimey, Edwina looks quite a lot like Frankenfurter there...
80s makeup was ace.
If you have a smart phone get Fake Call Me app. Probably one of the most useful apps I have. You can set it to ring your phone at a pre determined time or in say, 15 minutes. You can even set it up so it shows one of your contacts calling you.
I often use it to get out of really tedious meetings at work or converations with my mother in law. Would be perfect for being informed about an e'mergency' whilst on a date.
Emsz have you considered rewording your ad? Something along the lines of "dungarees only accepted if worn with pigtails and freckles"?
DezB Oh my gosh, that was my date the other day, she's a dental nurse, at first seemed ok, chatting away, but EVERY conversation eventually came back to where she worked, she had nothing to talk about apart from what was going on at her work!!
God, I was sooo bored 😳
So, what DOES a prospective date need to talk about, then???
