I want a quick first meet, he wants a leisurely dinner! Page 6 of 11    (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

Let me know because if we do survive this meeting, guess what? I expect you to treat me to dinner..


Well, it would be my pleasure, but where? I can't think of where one can dine on raw food in Montreal.....Aside from the Atwater Market in August......

And, while I like my steaks mi-saingant, that is not quite raw.......

Food at the Jewish is hardly a route to seduction....barely a route to survival, really......

And of course, you do know that buying a woman dinner entails.....expectations........:)

^^^^I think it's adorable but they need a chaperon. Safety first, PEOPLE!!! WEAR YOUR HELMETS!!! :)

I nominate Fleuron to chaperon and I will volunteer myself as well. I owe her (Fleuron) a beer and I think it'd be fun to intrude....I MEAN....meet other POF'ers at the same time while watching an actual first POF "meet".

(Fleuron.......do you have a camera on your cell? I'm having visions of "YouTube" dancing in my head.......)

They have a nice smoothie bar in Old Montreal.. right on the main street there.. If that is not enough to satisfy your hunger we can head over to Crudessence on Mackay near Sherbrooke.. However a nice smoothie can keep me going until dinner time..Love to be liquid in the summer months, how about you?

Oh I agree with you hardly seduction food.. Have a little raw cacao in your smoothie with a little Maca and you might just become that bull in a china shop..


And of course, you do know that buying a woman dinner entails.....expectations........:)


Indeed plenty of expectations here..
You arrive in nice clean clothes (if you wear skinny jeans so will I), fingernails are nicely scrubbed, and are the purrfect gentleman..
Can you handle mine? lol

OP, here in my area the opposite is true...the guys want to meet for coffee to see if you look bed-able.


Janet says:


That is pretty funny... only because isn't that what we ALL do?

When I say I want to see if there's chemistry, I'm really having to imagine myself at some point getting naked with the guy... otherwise it's not going anywhere.
We're all the same... if you say otherwise you're only lying to yourself



Now ain't that the truth...I don't know about anyone else, but that's what I do. I try to imagine myself in his arms, tasting his lips....so on and so on. If I can't conjure up that image, we aren't going to go much further than the initial meet.

Besides, the very reason I most likely agreed to sharing dinner is because after exchanging e-mails and phone calls....I not only felt comfortable but felt compelled to further explore the possibilities.

Oh, we’d make great chaperones, I’m sure, organicquestionmark. :)

No, I never carry anything that could be used against me….like a camera.
I’m sure we can dig up somebody who has one, though. Then maybe we can edit the footage to slow motion and add sappy tear jerky music.

Are you kidding? That’ll be YouTube GOLD. (no offense, rearguard*2)

Well, generally speaking, I keep clean and smell nice, so I don't anticipate any great challenge meeting your expectations......

As to mine, however.....well, I am a man.....what can I say........I would not be caught dead in skinny jeans in any kind of descent Mtl food emporium, and at 31 C, I tend to wear shorts to show off my rather spectacular legs.......

Really, the chaperons are more likely to need the stun gun for you. I actually quite irresistible to the ladies, and being the kind of guy that looks for more depth in a relationship than the purely physical, find myself having to frequently fend of unwanted female ardor........

But let us not be pessimistic! Perhaps sparks will fly! An exchange of interpersonal electricity will weld our gazes together and banish all but the intoxicating aromas our mutual desire to the extent that we conspire to ditch the chaperons by artful deceit so that we may steal away to seclusion of a mountain lookout, there to exhilarate in the harmony of mutual togetherness while drinking in the illuminated vista of the city beneath the expanse of a star filled sky!

I can already feel the warmth of your hand as you slip it into mine and rest you head gently on my shoulder.

It will be wonderful....if it doesn't start raining.........

If I met somebody= I would rather a quick meeting- not a dinner date- as it may be awkward- I may not like the person at all. They may be creepy to me, where I would want to get away from them. That has happened to me, more than once.

Personally- I haven't met anybody, that I have felt comfortable with at all..


I'm not the least bit surprised. If you were anymore uptight you'd turn blue in the face.


The internet is a difficult place to meet anybody that is good for somebody. It does get very discouraging..


Very true. I've never met anyone on the internet. I usually just meet them somewhere in person. It's the only way I know how.


Have good day out there, and I wish you alot of happiness and success on your journey!


I wish you happiness too : ) Good luck with that passport.

Stargazin- Can you pass some of that popcorn down here?

Okay you talked me into a nice white pair of shorts.. We can compare legs and you might be in for a surprise as to how nice and lean mine are.. lol


Really, the chaperons are more likely to need the stun gun for you. I actually quite irresistible to the ladies, and being the kind of guy that looks for more depth in a relationship than the purely physical, find myself having to frequently fend of unwanted female ardor........


Not necessary my dear rear.. lol If you are really that hot handsome fellow I look for , I can only imagine they might need to bring me smelling salts.. I mean who in the heck meets hot men online?

Shingers my dear man I might need those smelling salts sooner than when we meet if you keep this banter up..


I can already feel the warmth of your hand as you slip it into mine and rest you head gently on my shoulder.

Doubt we will even know it is raining, even if there is thunder and lightening.. See you soon

nativerock who will be there in her short shorts..

^^^^ I think you two have now fallen in to the category of needing a mutually combined name......

"Native Rear"
"Rock Rear"
"Rear Rock"
"Rock Guard" (sounds like a deodorant)

Fleuron!!! Pack your bags!!! We've got a live one here!!!

OT (so I don't get banned): Don't ever agree to anything you aren't comfortable with for a first meet.....or date......or anything ever!?!!

(Edit: Native, we can bring smelling salts.......but no "bath salts". Apparently, those will make someone do horrible things and no one wants to go to jail.....at least not today)

Well I want to meet the regular you, not the spit and polish you. If you like the guy and want dinner, then you can ask him out to dinner. But no, that would have you buying the dinner.

Alas fair muse, I had dared to hope that the bliss of your gentle ministrations might sooth the travails of my life, yet as you offer, cruel fate may snatch away such happiness. Were you to swoon at the sight of me, should you crack your skull on a concrete flower pot how could I find an escape from the abyss of guilt in which I should find myself immersed having caused your injury other than to cast myself from the Jacques Cartier bridge into the cold torrent below?

Dear lady, to hold you safe from all danger is my sole desire. leave us keep the possible ravages of unleashed passions safely constrained within the confines of imagination and put each others' handles on our respective block lists. Else-wise, to plomb the depths of despair may be our fate.......

I don't mind having dinner on a first date / meeting. However I would go to an inexpensive restautant where a person could finish in about 45 minutes to a hour. Not a fancy upscale restaurant. Also I would rather go to a bar instead of a coffee shop. At a bar, we might be able to watch a sporting event, play a quick game of pool or do some other activity while having some drinks.

I would like to do something fun on a first date / meeting. Such as attending a festival, playing a game of pool or mini golf etc. I could enjoy the activity and make the most of it even if there wasn't enough interest for a second date. The coffee date can be boring and sound like a job interview.

Other people may not want to drive 1-2 hours round trip just for having a cup of coffee for 20-30 minutes. The only times I might end a date after 20-30 minutes or less is when I feel unsafe or when a man is a complete jerk. Regardless of the activity.

I want a quick first meet, he wants a leisurely dinner!


I am truly sorry, but the quick “Meet for coffee” or "let;s have one drink, and then I can bolt for the door" scenario njust does not do it for me. I have tried it, and there cannot be any emotional attachment that way. In fact, it sends out a huge “red flag” for me – a potential dealbreaker. How can you establish anything beyond the physical in that amount of time? Ugh! Every time this has happened, I become suspicious that you ladies are just looking for the “quickie.” The “One-Time thing.” The so-called “One-Night Stand.” Honestly, I always end up feeling like a piece of meat. Even though none of us even approached any (!)

I have been used in this way before. Put on display. Excuse me, but I have feelings, too.

Some people are so obvious in what they are seeking. I am sorry, but I need more. I need to know I am not just going to be “used” and “gawked at” and "peeked at" while you decide whether I am worthy of a real date, with actual meat and actual potatoes. I see you trying to maintain eye contact for all of fifteen minutes, and then i notice you peeking down the instant I look away. Stop that! Sorry, been there, done that. We are not in college anymore, remember? The quickie coffee-thingy makes me feel positively slutty. While you are “checking me out,” I have to sit and make quickie small-talk making sure there is no real depth. Light talk, limited to the weather and all manner of the banal. I end up pretending to be an airhead, since there is no time for genuine rapport.

I am not just a piece of bacon.

Sheesh. When are you girls gonna grow up?
