Breakups & Divorce Support Group
Just broke up with someone or in the midst of a difficult divorce? Breaking up is difficult no matter what the circumstances are. They say that time heals all wounds, but sometimes a listening ear or a hug can work wonders for the heart. Whether you need a place to vent, someone to hold you to No Contact, or need advice about what to do, we're here to help.
I have been talking to a girl for a few weeks. We email a each other a few times a day. She is really nice and the more we email and talk by the phone the more we find in common (We both like to cook and we both hate onions and that is just one of the little odd things that we share).
There are a lot of things about her that I like. She has great morals, a good Christian, and she is very smart.
We were talking the other night and I asked her what she was doing on Thursday and she said nothing. I am off so I offered to go up there (Northern VA and I am only 1.5 hours from there). She said 'Yes!"
I am excited about meeting her, I just don't want to get my hopes up. She seems really great and I am sure that we will at least be good friends. I am nervous because I don't want to screw this up. I know to just be myself and let things go the way that they were meant to go, but it still makes me nervous.
Does anyone else get nervous like that? Any suggestions?

Only thing I can offer: She's just as afraid of meeting you as you are of her. Be yourself. Relax. Try not to make everything perfect. Just breathe and have a good time. It will fall into place. Good luck man!
Second, I get that way around any woman that I'm interested in, I could twist tie my tongue into a pretzel and knock over any breakable thing in sight.
Third, you already said it, stay clam, be yourself, and have a good time!
Seriously, those feelings are so wonderfully normal and it shows that you are willing and alive and please do not let your walls come too high up. She is nervous also.
I think a friend of mine is going to arrange a meeting with a fellow she knows. I'm feeling nervous and I will probably become very shy and quiet.
Good luck! Be happy and sieze the moment!
Don't forget the pepper spray.
mmmm otherwise? do all the old school stuff. ask her lots of appropriate questions. tell her she looks great, better than her pics. just listen to her...
you'll be fine ;)
If the night goes according to plan you won't need either, but it's best to be prepared for both extremes.

on a first date w/ someone... anyway the story is history but the date was a dream... anyway, he had a rose for me but he did not give it to me until the end. it *totally* worked.
if you are picking her up bring her some casual flowers for her house. but don't bring a flower into a restaurant, there is no good place to put it.
but at the end of the date, if it works out smoothly, and feels just right, then yes. rose.
a red rose = too strong...
