bravo!
And that's from a woman who has only once forayed into the realms of internet (well, lonely hearts ads) dating.

From the laydeez point of view a couple of tips for any erstwhile internet lotharios...

An anorak is not an acceptable garment for a first date, unless the date involves some kind of outdoor sporting activity. And I dont care if it cost you $300 from North Face. Put a jacket on.

Do not greet your date by uttering the words "god, I didnt think I'd be able to make it out tonight, I've had the shits all day."

Whilst it may be considered a compliment, asking your date "why a nice young girl like you hasn't been snapped up years ago" is a pretty off putting thing to say. Not only does it draw attention to the fact that your date is laughably single at the age of thirty *cough*, but it also puts us in mind of a slightly creepy uncle.

I'm sure I'd have more if i could be bothered to get off my arse and actually date real live people instead of lying on the sofa eating cake, watching House and complaining that no one loves me...
