Ideas for a First Date

[Beefy187]

Although I never had a date.. I never loved a girl.. I dont even have a soul..

ok never mind my miserable (but fun filled) life story can be posted else where

I rekon what to do on date really depends on the girls trait (sorry cant think of the word to replace it) and age.

If its outgoing type populer girl then dancing or watching movies is the way to go.

If its more quiet person then shoping, walking and lots of talking I guess. Just talk talk talk!

watching the sunset always seems to work in those Hollywood movies.

Flowers would be nice

Good luck Waldinger! You to Pever!!

It depons on the girl's charactere, of course. But dinner/movie are options that almost can't go wrong. If she likes shopping, go shopping, if she likes dancing, go dancing, etc etc

It helps to just think of things you're planning to do, things you'd like to do, and then think of taking her with you on these occasions. You may just run into good ideas!

You don't even have to do anything special/go some place.. you could just ask her to come to your place. you can sit down and talk, watch some tv/movie whatever. do you have a dog? do you have some nature close to your own, go walk the dog together.. that can be nice as well. you don't have to be doing 'special things', you just want to get to know her etc.

Good luck!

I personally found that the odd date are the usual winners. Take her to do something you have never done you self or hasn't done in a while.

If there is a ice rink near by, then take her ice skating (work particularly well, if are not that good at it you self), also rollerskating, horseback riding, golfing (minigolf) and so on. But mind you, that it works best for something that you do with compatible "expertise" (or rather lack of expertise). It shows that you want to do thing not just to show off or because it's your hobby. And it is fun to suck at things when you do it together.

I found ice skating to work particularly good, since I pretty much suck at it and can spend most of the time holding on to her (as she is usually better then me), without it getting clingy or weird and on the same time I show her, that I'm not afraid to admit faults and imperfections and that help her relax and get comfortable.

It's not guarantied to get you laid (due to all the broken bones and all that :), but it will provide a memorable date and a topic of conversation on the next one.

The main theme is bonding (which is different from bondage, mind you) and doing something together on equal terms. A movie is in fact a pretty rotten date, but works ok, since nothing really can go wrong (if the movie is good, you can talk about it and if its bad you can make fun of it). Dinner is ok, but it is so traditional and will probably not be one of thous dates that you remember for years to come.

Mind you, that this is a guide to a long lasting relationship. If you want a one night stand or a superficial relationship, you need a whole different strategy of asserting you self as the prize-catch and the flawless super being who has cast his pitty on her and given her a shot. And to all the feminist women's libbers now articulating their protests.. "I don't like it anymore then you!", but I'm sorry to say, that is how the real world works in most cases, even if that doesn't include yourself and/or your sister.

Depends on how well you know her. If it's only in passing ask her out for coffee, if that goes well at the end you can suggest dinner and a movie.

Good one!!!

I like that post, SeekerDK, sounds like you're having a lot of fun at dates.

Well yeah, the pun wasn't intended, but the equivocality seems rather inappropriate (or very appropriate, depending on standpoint).

I spirit of this lucky/unlucky mistake, might i suggest sharing a popsicle?

Alas, the hard part is not the date, but finding the right girl to take.

True, I found a few but apparently almost all of them so far had a very convincing date long before I met them...

I don't know what I find funnier, you sneaking in another pun right after claiming they're all unintentional, or their really being unintentional little Freudian puns.

u r a pervert

Believe it or not, first one WAS unintentional (use the word "suck" on a regular basis, in my native tongue, with out it having anything to do with your mouth or a vacuum). Last one however, is an "old" standard joke (thou the last part of the sentence doesn't make it any less funny).

Lets see you find a pun in that!

Originally I didn't spot the 'mistake' either. I noticed it when reading back my post though.

ok, in the meanwhile, lets keep this thread axefree.

"Axefree."

Drisos, don't tell me you share Lemur's fetish?

*ahem*

Anyway, I think SeekerDK's idea is the best. It's different enough to work but not in the geeky way (which is instant fail at 16).

[QUOTE=Beefy187]Flowers would be nice[QUOTE]

Don't do flowers until the next day.

If the date goes belly up, don't send them, if you're not sure how it went don't send them.

If you both had a good time, get some delivered, (if your budget can stretch to it). It is a major vote winner with the parents and girls love 'em, although her father will always think you're pond life, least all the fathers I met at that age did.

Bottom line, have a few plans, dinner, movies, bowling whatever, meet her, throw out a couple of suggestions if they get blanked, ask what she wants to do...Anyway have fun!

Thanks for the ideas, everyone. Keep them coming.

If it is appropriate, you could take her dancing. That is always fun.
The first time I went dancing with my girl, I had no idea how to, and neither did she. We had a blast. :P
