Right Good Morning everyone,
Thank you all for your responses and advice
here’s the story of how last night went,
we met up at a local pub had a couple of drinks chatted got along very well, then decided to go for a meal which again went down lovely.
it was a fantastic night out and sorry I didn’t reply I’ve only just managed to get back home 
thanks again everyone you gave me a laugh and confidence to be myself and we are meeting up again very soon!
