The principle is simple - a challenge for Leah and Kate to both go out on at least 1 date with 10 guys in 105 days.... Hopefully find someone awesome, but at the very least have 20 stories between them to tell the world and learn something in the process!
Dear guys, we would love to know your opinion on a specific date, dating etiquette, conversation topics, dress code, body language and anything that you think might be helpful before, during and after the date.
As a guy I would be okay with the anonymous name designation and would find it fascinating to see the date in detail through the other datee's POV. I might even chime in with a comment about my future fitness program in an attempt to bump my datable rating up a notch. Remember, you are not obligated to spill every little detail about yourself on date #1. Keep in mind girls- you may have a following of your own on his blog about your "lack of originality" in replicating his orange juice order. If, by chance, the guy is lucky enough to earn a 3rd date- it might be time to come clean.
ahh - i have another for the boys.. When you meet a girl for the first time on a date - what is the correct greeting?? Kiss/ handshake/ or just say hi..... I never know what to do.
I think that the kiss is a great way to build interesdt, if it there , however if it backfires and either party is left hanging, serious trouble for the next 30 mins
sabotage??? Lockey these are man-winning tips I am giving you!! Tip number two: To quickly work out whether the guy is quality or riff-raff, talk about your love for Indiana Jones or Bear Grills from Man Versus Wild. If the man says he doesn't like these two legends - ditch him straight away as he is a fool!!
Qns - whats the best way to let a guy know you're not interested... is it best to just disappear, or should you be blunt and say you're not interested???
Disappearing leaves you with too many unanswered questions. If the roles were reversed wouldn't you say...."What an A$$hole- he could have at least let me know!" So do him a favor and let him know that, while you enjoyed his company, he shoudn't leave his broom at home next time.
Hypothetically, If you were keen on a girl and asked her out for a second date, but she wasn't really interested - how would you like to be let down? We want to be honest, without being brutal and not lead anyone on - any suggested wording would be greatly appreciated guys!!...
Just be straight up - tell them you just don't feel enough to see it turning into anything substantial. He'll be cut by it, but in the long run he'll be better off for it. WWhatever you say, don't leave an opening for him to get back into another date with you, and don't bother saying how great he is - that's of no interest to a guy when he's getting the flick.
Alternatively, you can go old school on his ass and get a good friend to tell him that he is "dropped." Somebody has to bring this back into society's relationship vocabulary - I think it is up to the two of you to step up and deliver!
Forget being the official dropper - Al I think you should move to Brissie and be Katie's K-5! We do have very strict entry conditions (you being Victorian and all...) but we'd consider waiving them for you. You guys sound so similar - you'd be perfect for each other!
Poor misguided Alan, hasn't anyone told you the opposite is actually true..? But we are willing to make an allowance for you provided you don't barrack for Collingwood ;-)

As a guy - would you be annoyed when you eventually found out that you were part of this challenge and didnt know about it on the first date?

Kate, i think you will find that the best way to greet a date is a high five...
failing that, a kiss on the cheek is the way to go
stop trying to sabotage my dates Al!.... I am not going to do a high 5... even i know thats a deal breaker... hahaah

Al - I want you to move to QLD then you can be my offical 2010 dropper... we'd be an awesome team..

Similar? Leah surely me being Victorian automatically makes me cooler and funnier than any Queenslander:-)
