Good day,
I have spoken to the women, but I soon lost interest as suggested by AAG I should aim higher. She is between jobs (bar tending), not sure what she wants in her future. She has just broken it off with boyfriend or in the process…she was not clear about this. I said too her that it was interesting to talk to her and I hope things will work out for her.
But I have a date! The story…One of my friends wanted to go out on Saturday a week ago, I did go after some persuasion. Saw someone I knew standing inline I stated to speak to him and I asked if the women behind him is in the queue and she thought I meant that if they were together so we started to talk. She asked me if we could dance and I said yeah I enjoy dancing, so we did dance the whole evening. After I asked her if I could walk her to her place and she said yes and I did. We exchanged numbers. She called me before I could call her the next day. We have being calling every day since. I have asked her for a get together last Wednesday and it was nice we chatted and the 2 hours I had time for, went past very quickly. I did step into her place quickly and we have very similar taste. She is the only child and said she is very close to her mum and not that close to her father because of his drinking. She has been single for a few months and they were just seeing as she said. The last real relationship was year ago that lasted for 2 years. She said that she thinks that I am an old fashioned guy (not sure what she meant). She said that she is open minded (also don’t know what does that mean).
We have our real fist date tomorrow at 7 and now I am not sure what to do for a first date. I hope you can give me some ideas.

OK.... good for you. The first date can be especially terrifying but you already have a wonderful headstart on it. Many times the "first" date is also a first meeting. You have already spoken to her several times and even danced together.

My advice...don't think about this as a first date. Think of it as another opportunity to see this lady and spend time with her. The goal for the evening is to have fun and get to know each other better.

Now since this is yet to be a 'serious' relationship, make sure you smell, dress and act your best. Keep the conversation on the lighter side yet still give her an opportunity to see more about you and ask her more about herself. Show a real interest and be yourself. I think you will do great.

Good luck and may it work out wonderful

Suggestions:

You already know she likes to go dancing!, so I suggest taking her somewhere to dance! DUH! If this is going to be a dinner date whole night kinda date, I suggest that you cook for her (do you have one recipe that is just YOUR SPECIALTY?) and put a single rose and candles on the table, along with your nice china. That's the quieter part of the night where you two can talk and get to know each other. Then, take her out dancing! Go listen to a band you like and dance with her.
