Mulder68 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I am a 46 year old female. I have a Sunday afternoon drink date with a guy I've never met before. What do I wear? I am usually a cargo pants type of woman but think this may be too casual and too butch. Ideas needed from both men and women. I want to make a good first vision impression Link to comment
Capricorn3 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 You can never go wrong with a decent pair of black slacks and a nice top. It's not too overdressed, or under-dressed. Link to comment
MsAdorkable Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I agree with the above, but also keep in mind its a date. So don't forget your accessories. You don't have to do too much, maybe a necklace or a bracelet. A colorful scarf would work to. Link to comment
Mulder68 Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 Sounds perfect ladies. It's going to be mild here in Melbourne so black pants and a scarf sound good. Thank you and wish me luck Link to comment
missmarple Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I usually wear a dress when I really like the guy..although I'm in Europe and the weather here is excellent (almost summer). How about a skirt? Black pants to me sounds a bit too business-like. Link to comment
Mulder68 Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 I have a black and grey horizontal stripe pencil skirt that I could wear with a black top and colourful scarf? Link to comment
missmarple Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I have a black and grey horizontal stripe pencil skirt that I could wear with a black top and colourful scarf? That sounds much better to me...and more feminine than black pants A bit of make-up, a nice perfume, a pretty necklace and you'll be ready to go Link to comment

Mulder68 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 Mmmm something isn't quite right. He takes a taxi everywhere and always has an excuse. "I don't get out often and don't want to drink and drive" or "I parked around the corner" I wondering if he lost his licence and why and then why doesn't he tell me. Should I ask him? Link to comment

I would ask him, yes. Have you ever seen his car? Link to comment
Mulder68 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 No I have never seen it Link to comment
missmarple Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Maybe he doesn't even have one and doesn't want to say? What does he do for a living? Link to comment

Hi Mulder68, when you say that he takes a taxi everywhere, has he told you this, or have you just seen him take a taxi while on a couple of your dates? I know that I tend to take a taxi when heading out on dates, because I like to have a drink or two, and don't like the idea of driving after having only one drink. You can always ask him directly, but I'm trying to figure out ways you could ask him where he wouldn't be offended. Or, you can suggest a date (that's if you feel comfortable enough to get in his car after only knowing him a short time), where he can pick you up? Or at the end of the date, you can ask him if you can walk him to his car? Link to comment
Mulder68 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 He says he takes a taxi. He is an Operations Manager so a decent job. I'll give it a few more dates and see if the pattern is the same, then I'll ask. Link to comment
Mulder68 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Haven't heard from him for two days. Link to comment
