What dating tips/advice do you have?

For me, who hasn't yet dated strangers I'll be meeting for the first time. I've only ever dated one guy since I was 22 and we were acquaintances for a while before dating. That relationship lasted 14 years. It's over now, I'm 36 and new to the app-based dating scene.

I have an upcoming date with this guy I've never met in person and I'm kinda scared.

When much younger I dated much and many, but have not dated for many years now, and I hear and see it has defo changed. They don't seem to be doing it the quality old fashioned way. I've never joined any type of dating site, etc.. seems a bit scary to me. The modern world has made everything so freaking complicated. I prefer flesh and blood.

I'd probably hide somewhere and observe for a bit before approaching. 🫣
Meet in a very public place. Keep it simple, be natural. Keep your instincts sharp. And best wishes.

@DelightfulyDelectablyDelicious But of course Mr. incorrigible. Doubt this will be enough for your appetite. 🤭

@Magenta thank you. I am thinking of moving the venue to a public place.
