Fat Girl Dating- My Top 10 Tips
1) If internet dating ALWAYS use a full body picture in your profile. No filters, no face tune and no pictures with friends- especially if your friends are super hot! I learned this lesson the hard way many years ago. I posted a pic of my gorgeous friend and I on my dating profile, only to receive a barrage of messages asking if she was on the site too.
Nobody likes a catfish. Don't be that girl.
2) On a first date, always try to wow them with your personality. Go for either clever or funny - be knowledgeable about a shared passion or topic. Make him belly laugh! If you don't feel up to either of those then I recommend a super low cut top. I personally go for making them laugh, backed up with a lot of boob showing (just in case I'm not as funny as I think I am)
3) My go to first date setting is always a bar located in a leisure centre. Have a drink, suss it out. If there is no spark or conversation then luckily the cinema is usually right next door. You don't have to be that rude cow who leaves after 10 minutes, you can sit in silence watching a film; stay an appropriate length of time then do the off without any embarrassment.
4) If you go to a restaurant then for goodness sake- eat! I can't believe in 2019 that us girls are still too self conscious to eat in front of men. Eat what you like (especially if you're paying for it!) He knows you eat, it's not a secret. If you're a bigger girl then he knows you're not living off of a grilled chicken salad with no dressing. Get the burger and fries. Please.
5) If you want to sleep with him on the first date then sleep with him! If he likes you, he likes you. That isn't going to change because you dropped your knickers on date 1 instead of date 3 or 4.
6) You can text him first. It's ok. This is one of those ridiculous rules that I've never understood. I remember once, after spending the night with a guy, I was going to text him. My sister and our friend looked at me in horror! "You can't text him first! You have to wait for him to contact you, don't chase him! You'll look desperate" Right.... so let me get this straight. Texting this man is going too far. The same man that I'd just spent the night with. The same man who had recently pounded me doggy style with such ferocity that I momentarily went blind in my left eye. That was ok but sending him a text first was crossing the line?! Bullshit. Send the text, make the call.
7) Confidence. Whoever you're going on a date with isn't doing you a favour by being there. Accept real compliments, don't put yourself down and don't ever settle. There is a big difference between banter and being made the butt of the joke- don't have it. The same with back handed compliments, tell them to stick it.
If people say that's cockiness or arrogance then that's not the sort of person you want in your life. Know your worth.
8) Keep in mind that not every person you meet is going to be "the one". Or think that you are. I'm a big believer in gut feelings. Some people may be fuckable but not dateable. Some people may be friends or just people you would never want to meet again under any circumstances. I do not like games. If you're currently dating 10 other people, let them know. Always be honest and upfront.
9) Don't feel that you have to pay for everything. This goes back to the confidence thing. I always like to split things 50/50 but I know some ladies with low self-esteem who literally pay out hundreds on a date because they feel "grateful" that hot Steve from kwik fit deigned to go out with them (especially if they're a fat girl)
No. No. No. And fuck Steve for being a dick and letting you pay all that.
10) Have an escape plan. Let someone know exactly where you're going and who you're meeting. It's only as I've got older and look back at some of the beyond dodgy situations I've got myself into that I realise how important this one is. The reason I'm not currently buried under someone's patio is down to pure luck and nothing else. Have someone text or call at a set time so if you want to leave- there's a way out. Trying to sneak out of a date by going through the toilet windows in Frankie and Benny's doesn't work. You may think it's a good idea after a couple of porn star martinis and it may always work in films; but in real life it doesn't. Especially when you have your fat arse shoved into plus size faux leather trousers and get wedged. It does give the fire fighters a good laugh when they have to come and break the window to release you though. Or so I've heard.......
