1. Do not pick your date up from their home and do not let your date pick you up. You may advise your date of the time, place to meet and the dress attire for the occasion. This allows you to see if your date has transportation and if the date is a disaster you don't have to deal with the awkwardness of driving him/her home. In addition, you don't know if this person is psycho or deranged, so why tell this person where you live. Also, never tell a person where you work. You can tell he/she what you do for a living but never give out the exact location.
2. Think outside the box when it comes to making plans for you and your date. Don't settle for the typical date of a dinner and a movie. Its the safest move true, but dare to be different, creative, spontaneous and adventurous. Keep in mind a date doesn't always have to be at night. Have a breakfast date over a bagel and cappuccino and then take a nice walk in the park. You can do a brunch with mimosas (women love these and fellas their actually pretty good.)You can go miniature golfing or visit an art museum where you can still talk. You can have a picnic with fruit, chips, dip and sandwiches or whatever you like, but be sure to have a backup in case of inclement weather. All of these ideas are fairly inexpensive for a first date. I don't understand why men try to overly impress by spending alot of money on someone you just met and may not ever see again. That's utterly ridiculous!
3. The purpose of the date is to see if you have things in common. Check to see if your personalities click and make sure you ask the necessary questions: What do you do for a living, what do you like to do for fun, what are your interests and hobbies, are you married, gay, how many kids do you have(the one on the way counts), what are your intentions to have fun or looking for a serious commitment. Please feel free to add to this list, but be careful not to overdue it because you leave no room for conversation on the next date if all goes well.
4. Remember its the first date so each person will be bringing their best representative. This is who he/she wants you to think they really are so don't get too excited. No one wants you to think they are abusive, stalker, possessive or flat out crazy.
GOOD LUCK!!
Make sure you PAY FOR the date, men! Its called the rule of courtship.
ReplyDeleteGood tips! Regarding who pays for the date, I think it's fair that whoever asks, pays. Women are way more aggressive nowadays and I don't think it's fair to the guys to expect them to pay if YOU asked him out. Just saying...
ReplyDeleteThanks! Great tips! I'd like to add Google them and do a online criminal check for your city and state.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree with meeting them without them knowing where you live and never leave your drink unattended. And if you have to leave your drink come back and say there's a particle and grease floating in drink and ask for another one when the waiter or bartender comes back around. You can never be too safe!
I love your blog!

ReplyDeleteI disagree.. A man should ALWAYS at least ask to pay for the first date. Even though women may act like it is okay, please believe that she may get the wrong impression even though that was not his intentions. If you really like her, you do not want to take the chance of her making the wrong assumption on a great first date. Some women will insist on paying for their own meal (especially if they are not interested because they dont' want to feel as though they owe you anything)and in this case, that is fine. As Rashaan stated, if you do not have "it", be creative and go somewhere thoughtful but inexpensive. A real woman will appreciate thoughtfulness before expenses/money anyway. Just my thought :)!
