If you don't know where to go and how to behave
I would suggest you aren't over your 21 year relationship.

My advice? Get a bottle of gin, stay in and cry yourself to sleep as you think 'what if' about your ex.

If you've come out of a 21 year relationship and want to get back in the game after a couple of months of being 'single' you have issues. Make the most of your freedom.

That would need to be Monty approved before I accept.

Exactly.
I make no claim to POTD.

dating can be fun
it doesn't have to be an immediately serious relationship.

If you want 'fun' then do something 'fun'
I assume the person you are meeting this evening knows you are all about 'the fun' and isn't expecting anything?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 1 Sep 2010, 11:57, Reply)

fun
I asked her out for a drink but not sure what she is expecting. Probably just a drink and a laugh

if it's a blind date are you expecting fugly, crazy or fat?
we can start a pool. I'm going to go with fugly.

That doesn't answer the question though does it!
I'll say 'Mental'.

Mental
Well she did say yes when i asked her for a drink

I speak from the bottom of a bottle of gin.

A friend of mine doesn't keep her gin in the fridge
WHAT IS THIS TRAVESTY?!

I might have some in a bit.
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Wed 1 Sep 2010, 12:03, Reply)

not everyone has a specifically designated gin fridge.
Some people use them for food.

Don't mock my phobia, ok? :(

( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Wed 1 Sep 2010, 12:04, Reply)

you have a fear of warm gin?

A fear of fridges

I'll tell you why one day
it's less mentally scarring than the Barefoot Story.

I saw him this weekend. Everyone failed the sweepstake. And he threw up in his sleep. I didn't know people did that any more.

have you tried keeping it in the freezer?
that's where I keep my vodka. The current bottle has frozen a lot more than I think it should
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 1 Sep 2010, 12:04, Reply)

I keep my vodka, when I have it, in the freezer
but gin generally is in the fridge. Dunno why.

On the plus side I have a lot of it now.

excellent news
vodka in the freezer, gin in the fridge is right

( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 1 Sep 2010, 12:07, Reply)

Limoncello slushie?
I don't drink at home, plus I'm ill. But we may have brandy in the cupboard, and I might make a hot toddy
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Wed 1 Sep 2010, 12:09, Reply)

I haven't frozen the limoncello yet
because it isn't properly made.

Brandy is nice. It makes hot chocolate bearable. For a proper hot cold curing drink hot whisky with sugar, lemon and a tiny bit of ginger (optional) is lovely
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 1 Sep 2010, 12:16, Reply)

I'll scour the cupboards
I do have my 35% alcohol vanilla essence, though a few drops of that in hot milk is enough so alcohol is negligible.

I keep gin in the freezer
it pours like a thin syrup and it means you can make martinis without polluting it with ice-water.
