As pethetic as it might sound I only reasondly went on my second real date in my life (I did have boyfriends before I’m not that bad) with this very nice guy. I’m 19 and he is 21. I’m all confused at how it is suppose to work and what is suppose to happen, when is it suppose to happen….. I’m not always a patient woman but I can wait if I have to or want to. I am not looking for SEX but a hug or a kiss whould be nice. We went on our second date on Friday night and I met his co-workers… PLEASE HELP AND EXPLAIN HOW THIS DATING THING (GAME) WORKS!!!!!

Just give in to fate and enjoy the ride..a little flirting cant hurt!

I would say most of my dates (80-90%) come from online dating sites since it is more convenient (although I do not want to be dependent on it). However, some sites are riddled with spammers, so it definitely has it’s faults.

The traditional way of meeting people (face to face at parties, etc.) is still probably preferred.

What is your take on this? Which method do you prefer and what proportion of your dates come from online sites?

Thanks.

In my time, I’ve met plenty of girls online but it never seem like dating. It seemed like a hook-up for sex only. However, doing more online dating than meeting a nice woman the normal way, such as in the mall or at a cafe, will make you lose your style with approaching women. Lower your percentage of online dating and increase your confidence in approaching women.

Blind dating is a common approach in the dating scene. People are usually set up on a blind date through a friend or a co-worker who knows both parties and believes they would make a great couple.

If you are recommended to go on a blind date by a friend who knows you well, you might want to consider it. If your friend knows the other person as well as they know you, they might be right about the two of you connecting and getting along well together.

When you go on a blind date you might not have any idea what the other person looks like or you might have been shown a picture. In all cases, the person you will be going out with will be someone you have never met or spoke to before. Therefore it is quite all right to be a little nervous about going on a blind date. You don’t know if the person will like you and you don’t know if you will like the other person.

Some people really enjoy being set up on a blind date and many blind dates turn into successful relationships. You should try to find out as much as you can about the person before you adventure and be sure your friend knows the other person well before you go to be sure the date will not end in a complete train wreck.

However, even if the two of you decide that you are not a compatible couple you will very likely meet someone who becomes a very good friend. That can only be a good thing…
