I am supposed to go out with this girl on Friday and I'm trying to come up with a good first date. We work together so we kind of know each other allready witch is good, but I really want to impress her, any ideas. I am on a limited budget, so renting limo's and such is out of the question.

Roofies, Anal Ease, Merry Go Round

if she likes excitement I would include the Breakfast Club Bobblehead doll collection.

What does she like to do? I'd rule out any place that you can't really talk such as movies or concerts.

What about a drive up north a bit.. fall colors seems to be in swing. You could take a leisurely drive somewhere.. (or walk) and stop for a bite to eat.

If you want to actually go out, maybe try a comedy club? You can always chat before or between acts.. they usually aren't long (1-1/2 hours) and nothing better than comedy... relatively inexpensive too..

Take her to one of those places where you paint ceramic bowls. Chicks dig that.

Any date that ends with a Cleveland Steamer or a Dirty Sanchez is sure to be memorable.

Heres my best advice...

Dont go looking for dating advice on a board that has guys who spend their weekends playing a text football game.

Come on... did the D&D board not provide enough good answers?

Generally, for the first date, I try to limit the amount of times I expose myself hoping she goes for the bait. Anything more than 6/hour is considered excessive. If she goes for the bait, end the date after you are done. She is a whore.

Mini golf/batting cages. Or one of those coffee shops that has scrabble or othello board games lying around. Or bowling.

That'ts what I usually do.

Strip clubs are also good first date destinations. Just make sure it's a classy one.

Yeah... nothing says "I want you to dress up in cellophane and be my personal whore" like buying a gal a lap dance on a first date.

Oh definitely. A strip club with class would do, not one of those places where the strippers fart in your face.

Also, Pearl Necklaces are an inexpensive way to say "I love you.."

gaybrad!

anyway, sex is a good first date idea, and if that fails, masturbation works.:)

Eh, I'd say bowling's not too great for a first date...too much getting up, then getting back down...not good talking time. It's fun, but probably more for a second or third date.

How about a picnic lunch somewhere? I've found that works wonders...just grab a small icechest, some sandwich goodies and juice/soda, and a blanket (a thick blanket), and go take a walk in a nice area and sit down and have lunch. Usually quite impressive, too :)

Edit to clarify.

You already said you guys know each other. What does she like to do? What do you like to do?

Good luck, hope things go well.

Here is my serious idea since I just now read your post.

I have been dating a girl I work with for the past year and such, and this is what we did: movie and bowling. Not exactly exciting when you look at it, but we had informal dates before then (a dinner one night, lunch another, a movie at my room another). It was actually a lot of fun, and bowling can be fun because you can laugh at her (to an extent), but she can laugh to as long as your not a 250 bowler.

Just watch out when balls start flying. She swung one that slid out of her hand on the backstroke. Luckily no one was hurt.

Sound advice indeed.

Alright, cut the crap guys. You all know what we learned from the master, why are you kidding around with him?

First, read this (http://dynamic2.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=014745). I know the title implies its about meeting women, but if you read what it says it really tells you how to talk with them too. Second, after you finish reading that, visit sosauve.com (www.sosuave.com) to brush up on the latest tips, the Don Juan Discussion board will probably give you all the help you need.

Follow this advice and use it the right way, you wouldn't want Horns's banning to have been in vain, would you?

Lathum,

More serious advice as well. There is nothing wrong with just going out to dinner.

In my experience back in the early Paleolithic period, I always believed that the best first date was one where you had a good chance to get to know each other. In my case that usually consisted of a restaurant long on atmosphere and a place to talk and maybe take a walk afterward.

However, first date nookie ain't bad either. :)

Excellent advice.

Supposedly the best thing to do is to just be yourself. So bring her home and let her watch you play computer games. If she doesn't go for that, let her go. It wasn't meant to be.

Balldog

10-13-2003, 10:45 PM

Always remember - no means yes, yes means yes, maybe means yes, I guess means yes.

Balldog

Oh yeah and "get your hands off me you pervert" means keep going, until she gets out the mace that is.

How about Carl's Jr. and back to her hotel room for some making out? Worked for me. Course we were "a long distance item" for a month before actually "going out."

Does it take upwards of 6 hours worth of exposing yourself for her to notice "the bait"? :p

This is one of the few threads where it is obvious that HM's banning has drastically impacted the humor content of the board.

Comedy club is a good idea, but only if it's a good comic. Or a really bad one.

If you can find a dinner theatre that is showing something you both like (Shakespeare Tavern in Atlanta is a damn good one), that's a good idea too.

Just make sure to let her know you don't put out on the first date (unless she pays for everything).

Just follow your heart brother and to remember to treat like a genuine lady....

1st step: ask her out and treat her like a lady
2nd step: tell her shes the one you've been dreamin of
3rd step: take her in your arms and never let go.

alcohol. lots of it. go get drinks somewhere, and if it's nice out, rooftops/patios work well.

dance clubs are good, too, especially with alcohol.

live music is fun if you have the same musical tastes.

dinner is ok, but pretty run of the mill.

this junk about zoos, picnics, and bowling seem extremely risky to me.

Yes. Don't try to impress her!!! If you do, she'll notice that you're trying too hard, and might be turned off.

Just be yourself, and have some light-hearted fun. I once took a girl to Gameworks for a first date. It was a blast!!! We ate pizza and played those ticket games. Just being in such a fun, casual environment breaks the ice right away.

I would save the romantic type dates for the 2nd or 3rd time out.

If you go to the zoo and the monkeys with the red butts start going at it, do not under any circumstances use the line: "You think that could be you and me later on at my apartment?"

Sometimes handprints stay with you for a few hours....or days.

Actually, just set down a cup of fiarly hot tea and a glass of ice water in front of her. After that, all you have to do is display your wares and test her IQ.

***************************************************

Seriously, it depends. I've gone out with a lot of girls here where I there is a fairly big language barrier. For them movies and such are great.

But, generally, you should give yourselves a chance to get to know each other. That means that you should do something ctive to drive the conversation, but is not so active as to cut off your ability to talk to each other.

I like Ice Skating. It's a sport where you, as a guy, will feel no pressure to perform. Which also means that you can't possibly come off as a show-off. It's not so strenuous as to be detrimental to communication. And it's something that provides fun whether you're both great, you both suck, or even if one of you is good and the other is terrible.

I failed to mention that you'll likely be holding on to each other for a fair amount of the evening by necessity. That will cut out the awkward moment of first hand-holding or whatever.
