"Why, Ms Fortescue, I wonder if you would do me the honour of allowing me to escort you to the delightful coaching inn in Oxspring. I am told they give a most marvellous supper there. Afterwards I will accompany you back to Fortescue Hall, vouchsafing your honour at all times!"
Confidence is the key. No ifs or buts. You need to be in a position where you are enjoying life, enjoying going out, and most importantly, be in a place where you are happy whether your meet someone or not. That's when you will meet someone. But to answer your question, you don't get it you don't ask. Good luck fella
Blimey! I wouldn't have the foggiest idea. The last time I did so (to my now wife), Thatcher had only won one General Election!
I don’t think you do any more, do you? I thought the modern way of getting dates was to click on their photo on a dating app? Personally, a few years after the divorce, I couldn’t think of anything worse than bringing anyone else’s madness into my life. I’m far happier it just being me and the kids, with no-one to tell me what to do…apart from the kids. I’d be too scared any future partner would be anything like the last one!
Definitely. Surely you just say do you want to go to X place for a drink/see a film whatever and take it from there?
Talking to her would be a good start. Would you like to go out so we can get to know each other better? Have you got a favourite place you like to go? Put her at ease and at choice. “I’ll understand if you have other things going on in your life”, gives her a way out if she wants one. If she says no, it means no, but sometimes it means not at this time.
Good luck, you'll know what to say an do on the day. One just for you, Stephen sez to his date, what kind o movies do you like, Date replies i like a movie where you need a tissue, Stephen sez GREAT, me too
