Zenlife 10 Posted August 29, 2016 (edited) Cool! Just breath ???? is normal to be nervous, where is the Date? This usually dictates whether there gunna be alot of full on face to face intimacy/talking. Maybe not go to a buffet/all you can eat restaurant;-) he he don't mind me I'm only 2 weeks post op and hungry:-) In my past dating I always take pressure off myself by thinking if it right one, it will flow, if not, it's okay, all experience. Can be scary to step out of comfort zones, but it is when we can gain most:-) Hope you have a nice time. Edited August 29, 2016 by Zenlife Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gowalking 10,790 Posted August 29, 2016 The most important thing to remember is that you are not in control. Meaning even if it's a great date, you may not hear from him again. And if that's the case, you can't obsess over it. Just try to remember that you enjoyed yourself and on to the next one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zenlife 10 Posted August 29, 2016 It's after work on Tuesday. We agreed on coffee or something casual. I haven't mentioned my sleeve to him yetOh I think that's a good one, coffee, nice and casual...How do you feel about talking about the sleeve? I think it's a very personal thing. I probably wouldn't until down track. But that's just me. Whatever you feel comfortable with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think it's first date information but if i feel like there could be potential for a long term thing i would mention it after a few dates Sent from my LGLS991 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr-Patient 830 Posted August 29, 2016 First date with someone? No need to mention your sleeve; it's none of his business. Whatever you order to eat, just talk and eat slowly. He won't notice. Be careful. Don't give up the 'goodies' too soon. Have fun. Congrats on the new date. Hope it is successful and turns into more, should you desire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
