My date last night was, what I consider, a huge success. We actually spent over 2 hours talking before we realized it had been two hours. The time just flew by. We made plans to meet up again after the "Holiday Madness" has subsided (he's going to spend 2 weeks with his family). He paid for the meal and we hugged goodnight.
I consider this a success!!

He was so sweet!! I told him I had clinical depression and he was all like "I understand, there's a stigma about it and that's not fair."
I think he's worth some more dates!!

I like that idea, just not sure of what we can do though.

You live with your parents, right? Do you think it's too soon to invite him over for New Years? If your parents are home, that stops the question of sex too soon. You could make dinner and ask him to bring a bottle of champagne. Watch the New Year's shows.

While that is a good idea, I don't know if it's right for a second date. Is it?
I had thought of going to a restaurant, one that was open past midnight, but I feel most restaurants are going to be very crowded that night.

Don't invite to your home. Wait for him to see if he suggests something then if he asks for your ideas suggest a movie and dinner? If restaurants are crowded you can sit at the bar or make a reservation

It's so cute, we're like the fairy godmothers here.
I would invite him over and here's why: New Year's dates are pricey. If you wait for him to ask, he may not because it is expected he take you somewhere on New Year's that ends up being expensive and crowded. So, especially that this would only be your second date, he probably won't ask. I see nothing wrong with you inviting him over. It's not going to be for sex. Just a nice new year's celebration and dinner, which you are reciprocating, as he picked up the tab last meal. It also makes you look like a nice girl who lives with her parents and cooks and is gracious and likes to entertain---marriage material!  Now I have to make my family dinner like a good wife and mom... lol

I'm glad it worked out...
I agree with not inviting him over. You may consider this okay, but he may have a different take on it as a second date. Where we live, we have a couple of movie theaters that serve meals....It might be a nice thing to do...It would take the pressure off the fact that it's a New Years eve date. I think you approached this date a lot more relaxed than in the past, so kudos for that. And good luck. |

Home for meet the parents, etc could be a little intimidating for a second date, but it does take sex off the table. So it's a toss up.
If your parents can be trusted to behave themselves and not pounce on him it could be a good alternative to crowded New Years resturants and bars. I would love a date that included a home cooked meal. This is something where I would ask him his thoughts on what he would like for a second date. Offer him a couple of possibilities, let him know that you think spending New Year's Eve with him would be fun. Good luck and have fun. |
