Inspired by the thread on what is people's worst meeting (http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/316382/0/... but wanting something more positive and upbeat, I am curious to know what was people's best first meeting (or one of their best first meetings), and what made it 'best'. I imagine some people will answer that their best first meet when they met their current partner (I am rolling my eyes a little as I write that), but I am thinking more about the total experience and why it was good. So to kick things off and hopefully encourage folks to respond...
One of my best first meetings was with someone from IC (I won't embarass him by naming him). It was simply a friendly meeting before agreeing to go to a munch together, so no play. He knew I was nervous, but he set it up in a way where I felt completely relaxed and safe, and we really hit it off. Instead of a quick drink, we ended up having a lovely evening chatting over some dinner and I got a great foot rub out of it too So, what are some of your best first meetings? There's a somebody I'm longing to see, I hope that he turns out to be, someone to watch over me | |

Nope, first meeting with current partner @FireWolf I thought he was a prize twat and he thought I was too. My how things change. Not an internet meeting (I was 17) but I had a blind date arranged by a friend and her new boyfriend, the night went well and we even went out a couple of times but neither of us were really interested, my friend and her man split up after a few days. However, her ex and I became very best friends for years, we lost touch eventually due to job changes and life in general. | |

I normally suggest a convenient munch. A pervy atmosphere, where overheard discussion does not really matter. Others around who will if necessary 'keep an eye'. And If the other person doesn't turn up, plenty of people to talk to anyway.  Owner of The Croppery Dungeon and Breakfast. Organises The St Leonards munch. | |

I'm going to do the clichι thing and say the best meeting was with my current partner. We had been messaging as friends on another site, light hearted and a bit jokey. I wasn't looking for any type of relationship as I had not long got out of one that had left me a bit bruised. I had a hectic weekend and he offered to meet up for a quick coffee on the Monday as I had the week off and he was due to start a new job on the Tuesday. I am painfully shy on first meeting people and knew the first half an hour could be a real ordeal. We met reasonably locally to me, though a long drive for him. He was lovely and very friendly, put me completely at my ease and seemed to understand exactly how I was feeling. He was also one of the most genuine and interesting people I'd met, we also had huge amounts of stuff in common, with enough disparities to stop getting bored! We talked for 8 hours, longest coffee ever, we've been together just over a year and every day we have had together has been wonderful. | |

I met one ex through a friend on a night out. We spent about 5 hours talking and really clicked before we all went on to a nightclub. During our first kiss, he bit me hard enough to draw blood. I took him home with me that night and he didn't leave for 4 days in which we barely left my bed... We spent the time playing, chatting and snoozing. It lasted 3 years before going drastically wrong... | |

Best hot chocolate i've ever had, followed by an insiders tour of Glasgow. I find just wandering the streets with someeone in an interesting place is great fun! The human race needs more streakers. Shame I hate sports. | |

Vanilla - trip down the Thames drinking champagne, followed by trip on the eye, walking round Covent Garden followed by 3 course meal, longest first vanilla date ever. 11 hours!
Kink - meal in an Italian restaurant, he opened doors and pulled out my chair letting me sit down first. With us having so much laughter I nearly pee'd myself, making me feel so at ease I flirted back, even when some of the comments made me blush! He made me feel so comfortable we talked about anything and everything, a total gentleman! Never a lip is curved with pain
That can't be kissed into smiles again. | |

We had been chatting for a while probably for a few weeks or more when I mentioned that I would be in London on the following Saturday to see an exhibition at the Tate. I had been feeling a bit jaded about the whole 'finding somebody' malarkey and had just switched off my IC ad and deleted most of the text on my profile. He asked if I would like to meet for coffee and, as I had really enjoyed our chats, I readily agreed.
We hadn't exchanged pictures to be honest it had never occurred to me and all I had to go on was a sketchy description he gave me of himself (mostly of what he would be wearing). So I arrived at the appointed time and place and there he was. I hadn't really formed a picture of him in my mind well, not one that surfaced to my mind's eye, that is and what I saw was a complete surprise and delight!! There was the embodiment of all the wonderful qualities that came across in our chats the humour, the intelligence, the sparkle.... all there in the delightful human being standing in front of me. We had lunch and 2 hours flew by. We said goodbye and I spent the rest of the afternoon standing in front of paintings and only seeing him Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. Edited 13 Oct 11, 8:42 PM by Reversed |
. The really 'best' bit of it is that this person has become a good friend.
