Going to a pool hall on a first date - that is interesting.

Some advice :

Take some "mad" money - in case you need to take a taxi home.

Dress comfortably, in clothes you feel attractive in.

Be yourself.

Smile.

Have fun.

Don't feel you have to have a second date if you don't want to.

Don't scratch the pool table with the cue.

No matter what anyone tells you . . . it is okay to win the game.

Excellent Beloved: thank you :)

Have fun :)

have a great night and follow Beloved;s advice/

I'll echo what the others have said! I think the most important thing is to HAVE FUN!

When it's over, I'd love to hear how it went!

Thanks everyone: will do :)

Go - enjoy - be safe - be you.

Is it with someone you have known for a bit or someone totally new?  Were you asked, or did you do the asking?  Are you excited?  Do you think you like this person?

I agree with all of Beloved's advise and would add - don't drink too much!  "Social lubricant" is one thing, but don't let yourself get sloppy!

Have fun!

Kaythecurler: My thoughts exactly :)

Beloved: He started going to one of the many sports I play with other players that were there before. He rents from one of them.  He asked if I wanted to go to dinner sometime.  Then when I saw him next time he had a date and activity in mind.  I'm sort of excited of being asked and going out but I don't have an opinion of him yet.

Hilary: I don't drink at all so we should be good =)

Consider your wardrobe - if you're going to play pool, you'll be leaning over a lot - consider "the view"  =)   

Playing pool is lots of fun - hopefully it will be a table where things are not too overly serious & you'll have a great evening!

I'm pretty sure that's why pool was invented.

By men, right chansen??  LOL

Never underestimate the ingenuity of men when it comes to thinking of ways to convince women to bend at the waist.

Carolla: thanks for the shirt tip!

I'm back home safe & sound.  Pool was a good date idea.  He gave me flowers and bought me Pepsi :)

Flowers and a Pepsi? That's marriage material, there.

I know Chansen!  I got it made: ha ha. ;)

So what did he look like?

So exciting! Happy for you!

What did you give him?

Crazyheart: He's skinny with short hair and nice eyes.

Waterfall: That's a great question.  I have never thought of it.  I gave him the opportunity to show me how to play pool.  I actually learned a lot!  I also gave him 90% of the wins.

90%???? hahahahaha

Hahaha, a great gift!

Yeah he was a pool shark!

Is there a second date on the horizon?

Yes he invited me out for supper but I had a previous engagement.  So we'll try again for another time.

Sterton-since he has asked you out twice-and you couldn't go the 2nd time the ball is in your court. If you want another date it's your turn to ask.......

Tabitha: yeah I suggested a movie once I return from Christmas holidays.

He gave me a Big Bang Theory DVD for Christmas as he knows it's my favourite show.  I hadn't gotten him anything as we only went on one date.  I look forward to going out again in January.  Here's to a nice 2014!

 sterton!  He didn't give you a pool cue?  Maybe next year 

Awww. So sweet. Glad you had a good time

It's "Facebook Official": ha ha.

 Sterton!  No further details necessary - "fb official" is good!  

Carolla may not need details but I do!

as "in a relationship with"?

Yeppers.

But you haven't told us yet about the second date ?

Things are moving quickly!  Maybe we don't need any more details.

2nd date: chocolates, meal out, board games with four other mutual friends

3rd date: meal in & movie

We also see each other twice a week at our sport.

Nudge nudge, wink wink.

Ok Sterton

Here are my usual questions to determine if he is good enough for you:

Is he really single ie not separated?

Is he employed?

Is he reasonably debt free?

I'm always suprised when  the answers are no.

Chansen: ha ha!

Tabitha: He's definitely single and I've been to his job.  We have not talked money so I don't know his debt load if at all.  In due time :)

Has he had his Flu Shot.????

LOL - sterton, I bet you didn't know you had so many moms! I'm still chuckling ... 

Bring your swimsuit.

Does he make you laugh? Blush? Is he someone you can respect?

Sounds good so far!

Crazy Heart: I have no idea.  I never get them.  I'm an elementary school teacher so I have a good immune system.

Carolla: I love it!

Dcn. Jae: we're going bowling this weekend and no I'm not taking a bowl.

Waterfall: I laugh with him and he respects me.  I'm having fun and enjoying having a boyfriend.

That deserves a "whoop"

I hope he is kind to you, I hope he treats you well, I hope he is sincere and honest.

Glad you are enjoying this time of dating.
