maybe you should work on the confidence first and then you might actually get a date

A good first date... Depends really.\nI personally would go out for dinner. Afterwards, instead of the usual movie, I would go see a show or concert. When the show is over, we would head back to my place or her place. Then we would just wind down and watch movies until I had to go. I would most likely want a kiss, but if that doesn't happen I won't lose any sleep over it. That sounds pretty good to me.

Dateless.  Have some confidence in yourself, you might meet someone special.  If you only have to put in an appearance, go glam, breeze in the front and exit out the back, let everyone think you had another rendezvous you just had to go to...

Just give it time, you'll meet someone eventually. Until then, go out and have fun. Go to places where you can meet people and just open to anything. Maybe have one of your friend's boyfriends set you up on a blind date.

I don't see why not.  It's not like you have to walk up to them and say "Will you go out on a date with me?".  Lot's of things have kind of blurred over 13 years.  Dates can be considered just going out to have fun (screw the formal dressed up stuff, that's not the ONLY thing called a date now!).  If you meet a guy you like, ask him if he'd like to go get a cup of coffee and talk.  Or if your timing is right, ask him if he's hungry and if he'd like to grab something to eat.  Just be around him.  Things will happen.  And yes, women can ask men out too.

The internet dating sites can be a good place but be careful. Always talk on the phone first after email is exchnged (preferably his #) and meet for the first several times in a public place. Starbucks or similar is great for a first meeting.

The more you get out to places where you will meet people, the better your chances.  What do you like to do? If you like something, perhaps hiking, then join a hiking group and meet people with your interests.  One of them could become a friend, a best friend, or even a spouse.  What about another hobby or interest?  The way to meet people you would want to spend a lot of time with, maybe the rest of your life, is to go where you will find people of that description.  \nIf you hate nightclubs, don't go there, because you'll meet people there who like them and will want to go there.  \nIF you are not religious, don't go to church to meet people, because those people will want to go to church.\nOn the other hand, if you love nightclubs, or love church, then that's where you'll meet more people who have the same interests.\nThe other way is to ask friends to set you up with a "blind date."  Or have a couple of friends over for the evening and ask them to bring a third person.\nGood luck.

go back if you guys remember and have what you had on your first date.. like my husband and i go back to Chili's and order a chocolate milshake and southwest egg rolls for lunch then we go out later that night and celebrate with a lil bit bigger dinner. :D  we always have fun doing that.  we usually after dinner go for a walk around a park and sit on the benches and just sit there and hold each other for alil bit.. :D  do whatever you want..  do a picnic at a park, go to an amusement park for the day, baseball game... the list could go on.. it is whatever you are both interested in and kinda make a theme and use it for the whole day.. or even a scavanger hunt adn then surprise him with a nice dinner in the end. :D

Look in the places where you enjoy going most.  If you like to workout, check out the gym.  if you like the beach, find someone there.  \n\nMy point, chances are you'll find someone who is compatible with similar interests rather than lusty bar flies.\n\nGood Luck!

A good second date can be a little more personal. How about inviting her over for dinner? You could impress her with your cooking skills and then maybe watch a video.\n\nOr, it's summer. How about some outdoor concerts? Bring a blanket, some food and chill out?\n\nAre you near a beach or somewhere you could hike? Take her outdoors, do something fun like that.

its not rare to meet a person at random places like that, but listen to your gut. I once met a guy at starbucks, and i went out with him a few times, but something just didnt feel right about the guy, my gut was telling me that something was just off. So i stopped seeing him. If you do decided to go out on a date with this guy make sure you go somewhere public where there will be alot of people. Also make sure your friends and parents know where you are. You should have someone call you to check up about mid way through the date, and casually mention that you told your parents where you were going, this way he knows someone knows where you are and is waiting for you to come home. Better safe then sorry, he might end up being a super nice guy, but you can never be too carefull.

If it will be your first date, then let him ask to take you out.  But if the two of you want to hang out, then it's all right for you to ask first.  Since you are shy, find an event that you would like to attend and ask him if he plans to go.  That will help break the "nervousness" between the two of you.
