i need tips

okay i broke up with my fiancee about a week and half ago. (we went out 1.5 year) and you date a person for awhile you get into a groove. now i'm looking probably this Friday or Saturday going out with this chick that's going to school to be a nurse. It's not that i'm extremely nervous but i need tips that i might miss because i haven't been in the dating game for awhile.
sorry if it sounds like a retarded question
thanks guys

dont mention your ex at all. chicks hate that. dont make comparisons, dont bring her up, nothing.

just be you, thats all. no need trying to impress her with an altered character.

just be polite, make her laugh, and have a good time. it may be helpful to find out where she likes to go out to or where she likes to eat. i wouldn't suggest a movie for the first date as they're anti-social.... good luck and cover ur stump before u hump...

yeah if you must mention the ex, do it as little as possible. itll set a little red flag off in her head that youre still into your fiancee if you constantly talk about her

Do not speak badly about the ex - "it did not work out" period.

Just be the man. You will be fine.

If you do it right you can slip in one or two sentences about the ex and have hey sympathy card and eating out of your hand. But dont say any more. I also agree with be yourself.

Take her out for drinks, dinner can be kinda slow and if you don't know eachother it has the potential to be awkward. If you meet for drinks and its going well stay if not you can easily get out.

I hope it works out for you.

IN A NURSES UNIFORM.

Good luck with the date, and keep us posted! I agree on the do something fun thing though. Fun activities encourage conversation, and when you laugh together, it's even better!

J/K don't mention the ex, get some liquior in your system to loosen up and be yourself. She is NOT your ex, so don't treat her as her.

Well she's automatically cool cuz she's in nursing school.....

Anyways, do NOT mention your ex...bad news! And be a gentleman, and be funny (unless you just aren't funny...then don't!). And don't go to a movie because you can't really talk and get to know each other in a movie, unless you're incredibly rude, which then cancels out the gentleman thang!

Good luck and let us know what happens!!!

Just remember...

You're this big Fuckin Bear and she just a bunny, a cute little bunny. You got these big fuckin claws and these teeth and you can't kill the bunny?

now go over and do it. and don' t be the guy from the pg-13 movie everybody's ruting for, I want you to be the guy from the rated R movie that everyone's not quite sure about.

(Swingers)

Just have some fun, and remember "you're money"

you got me it is cliff note style but damn it feels good to get at least 1 good Swingers quote in/day.

I can't wait to hear what goes down w/ the date so i could use my favorite drunk quote... but that remains to be seen.
