There are things we don't want our first date to know about and that is a mistake. First impressions are important so why waste time hiding important personality traits?
By the time you realize that you aren't a good fit, you have wasted money and time which causes frustration. FOR INSTANCE: I'm opinionated, bossy, and bluntly honest. It scares the timid guys who ask me out. What are YOUR PERSONALITY TRAITS that you don't bring to your 'FIRST DATE' table? |

That at dinner time I dine with a rubber chicken, blow-up sheep, inflatable goat and my cat sitting around the table. Ok, I'm lying. I only tell them about the rubber chicken and the blow-up sheep. If they can live with that, then the rest is cake.....

Financial stability! My old boss was apt to say, "I've been broke a time or two, but never poor." I'm sure you are rich in other ways. Is my Pollyanna bow showing? |

I have always brought it all to the table. Why? Well if they go running scared, then it is good to know this early in the process. I will never hide who I am. I will not be someone that conforms to fit some preconcieved notion. I am happier that way.
That wasted dinner or what ever is way cheaper than a broken heart later down the line. |

That I'm 3 quarters asleep. I'm not really listening, don't know what I'm sayin', and the only reason I can walk is, because I'm used to doing, lots of sleepy walking.

I don't try to hide anything, as I see no point to it.

I have learned to treat myself to being honest as I can. It recently helped me when someone tried to be matchmaker for me and someone else. I didn't say anything that I didn't really mean. It is nice to leave a relationship with your privacy, dignity and respect.

I don't try to hide anything, as I see no point to it. You are hiding your beautiful eyes. behind you beautiful shades

My personal life is on a "need2know" basis. Talk is always pleasant on a first date. If it gets to the second date, I may reveal more of myself and answer some questions. Then it goes on from there.
As far as personality goes, I am pretty upfront about myself. What you see here in the forums, hear me say on the phone and see in person is the same thing. I don't, however, tell them off the bat that I'm autistic. What's the point unless it seems like there's going to be a relationship? |

What don't I bring to the table on a first date?
Ummmm...usually my kids don't want to go to some weird dinner with some stranger, so they don't come...ummm restaurants don't allow animals, so the cats, dog, fish and chooks stay home.... I don't really have anything character-wise that doesn't come with me...I'm kind of a complete package, so why would I leave bits of me behind? We are quite flexible us humans, we can usually adapt to most situations and people enough to get through a meet and greet...and we know within miliseconds if each other is friend, foe or potential love interest....so the rest, the hiding bits of us, is moot, anyway. |

My personality can be a bit confusing, especially to those who don't know me well. There's a lot of things I don't really care about and don't find that important, this makes it easy for me to compromise, but I'm not a push over. If you take the time and effort to actually get to know me, it can be a rewarding experience. I tend to hold myself back, maybe a bit too far, taking things too slow. If I didn't hold myself back, I would be the type to fall fast and deep in love. I would like to find some one I could fall deep in love with though. My heart and my head are in constant battle with each other. |

I don't intend to keep anything from my date but I don't want to do too much talking and display of attitudes on a first date - as I never spend more than a couple of hours on one.

I'm pretty much open about myself I don't try to be someone that I'm not. What you see is what you get. If they want to know something I have not told them all they have to do is ask..

My heart and my head are in constant battle with each other. If you hold back so much, what do you do to make someone actually want to get to know you? Sometimes, I find that the really introverted guys who don't put themselves out there are tough to get to know. After trying for a bit and they don't open up, I end up giving up. |
