| Dinner on the first date?
Posted: 6/28/2009 8:40:41 AM | My POV. I don't mind going to dinner for a first date. I personally don't drink coffee. Sometimes the women I am meeting for the first time lives far away. I don't want to get all dressed up and travel for 30 to 60 minutes for a "coffee" date. Also, I don't mind paying for the meal for the first date. And even though I may not accept you to pay for half the dinner, it is nice that you offer to pay half. :-) Maybe if we continue the date, you can pay for drinks or for the movie or if we go dancing, the entrance fee.
I just feel that if women want to be equal a man should not always pay for the meal. I don't mind treating women as equals, in fact I always do. However, one guy made a point earlier, although not very tactfully, the majority of the time, men do reach for the bill. I personally feel akward when the bill comes and she doesn't reach for it or offer to pay half. So I grab it and pay for it. Sometimes if there is a second date, the same thing happens again, so I pay. I have gone on with a handful of women of POF and only one has offered to pay for the half of the meal. None have offered to pay for the whole meal or have grabbed the check first. | |

Posted: 6/28/2009 9:20:53 AM | | I haven't finished reading the thread, so this may have been covered. I find that lunch dates are a happy medium. You have the tradtional meal, but with a preset end time because both parties have to get back to work. That should allow you enough time to figure out if you want a longer date. Drinks are good, should be later in the evening sometime about 8 pm. I try to avoid the whole tradional thing all together, (depending on day of week) and try to have a fun activity. That breaks up the awkard moments when you're trying to think of something to say. Also it makes it less like a job interview. One date that I had that turned out great was mini golf, followed by light meal and drinks, ended with a comdey show. There was a natural flow to the evening. We had a great time. If you keep it flexiable and natural you'll have a better time, then some preconcieved ritual. | |
