First Date Suggestions!!

[MickeyMoose15]

Okay, here is the situation. I broke up with my ex-girlfriend Sarah sort of on bad terms (w/ me not speaking to her for awhile and not talking much when we did see each other now). I will explain it if somebody wants me to but it is kind of complicated and not the subject of my thread here.

Anyway, I really liked this girl but there were two problems. She is a friend of my ex-girlfriend and one of best friends got rejected by her. She and I were sort of friends, so I asked her out and she said yes, which made me really relieved since I got rejected by two girls in the last three monthes. Anyway ....

We are going to see a movie but I need some suggestions. I am going to let her pick but what would be good suggestions. I haven't gone out on a date in three to four months, so I need some help.

Thanks in advance!!

Well, letting her pick the movie is a nice gesture, but it puts alot of pressure on her, and she may feel like you will be bored if she picks the wrong one. So maybe discuss it in the car on the way there, or while waiting for tickets. How about dinner? Maybe try something new, someplace that neither of you have been too, then maybe, it can become "Your'e Place" in the future. On my first date with my BF of four years, we had dinner at a great place called Mongolian BBQ, it's a really hip, trendy, loud yet intimate place. It was perfect because I didn't feel like I had to be to dressed up or quiet or polite or anything, I could just be myself, so maybe you both should go low key. We also walked around downtown and hit up some little shops. I actually found out alot about him from our shopping excursion and appreciated the fact that we were shopping! Basically, my suggestions would be to go casual, low key, and not to be nervous. Have fun, and talk!

I don't know if you want my advice, seeing as how I can't keep a girl interested longer than 15-45 seconds, but I say be comfortable. Don't try to over impress the girl. You said you're already friends, so just be yourself and it should work it out fine.

As for the date itself. Dinner, movie, and then go with the flow.

Hope you have better luck that I do!! God speed, young chap!

Still have to decide if we are going out on Friday or Saturday. See, she has track and that can be a pain in the butt.

First date...don't see a movie...but I guess it's ok since you already know each other (you can't really "talk" when you're watching a movie)

You choose the movie, show her who's boss, if you start letting her make the decisions now you'll regret it in the future if it gets serious....... As for the movie, Texas chainsaw massacre, then take her for a pizza....:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[WDWFREAK53]

Yep, I don't suggest you see "The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood" :lol:

(Make it a light movie...something like "The Wedding Singer" but...I'm trying to think of what's out...How about "Bringing Down The House?")

My suggestion...take it for what its worth::

If possible, dont take her to a movie theater. Either a drive in (not sure if you have one near you, we have em all over here), or make it a blockbuster night. This way you can talk.

Id say order in some chinese, rent a video (horror films are generally good for first dates), get comfy on the couch, be COMFORTABLE. It really does make it easier. Try to not think of it as a date, but rather just you 2 hanging out. Let things just happen.

ALSO..VERY important:: DO NOT make it obvious that you may have "other intentions"....at least not on the first date

(that's where I was trying to head with the "Not a movie on the first date"...VERY GOOD suggestions Dan)

(The Ring (if she hasn't seen it) would be a good movie (just because there isn't a lot of "GORE" )

I agree with the no movie on a first date but I disagree with the horror film. Make SURE she's okay with that first. I for one have strong feelings against horror films (I scare easily) and wouldn't want to see one with a date, especially on a first date.

Ang, I believe that Dan was just suggesting that (if I'm taking it right) if you see a HORROR movie (which would be better with a girl that scares easily) she will be comfortable by "holding" onto you because she's scared hehe

Well, dating advice from me is sort of like advice from Michael Jackson on not being weird, but I do have on suggestion.

If I were you, I would wait until at least the 4th or 5th date to tell her that you are getting dating advice from a Disney discussion forum.:lol:

(and definitely don't tell about "Dan's lifestyle" and that I'm a FREAK...)

(no problem with the advice from an Angel and a hairy sasquatch)

First date ideas:

A light casual dinner, nothing fancy, keep it fun. Save the romantic stuff for later.

After dinner try bowling or ice skating or the local planetarium or a local art or science museum or go play putt-putt. Try to find something that will allow you to talk and give you things to talk about.

For the first date you should ALWAYS make the decisions and have a plan. You will look better if you don't appear indecisive.
