Dates as learning opportunities

What I was hoping for were ideas that let you see folks in many situations, especially those that might show you more about their character and behavior than you would be likely to see at, say, a restaurant or a theater.


There's nothing more "everyday" and revealing than seeing where a person lives. What's on their walls, what's in their fridge, etc. Endless conversation points too. Generally the third date or so is when you might see their home.

And, if they won't let you see their place, it's a bad sign.

Blondblued: I like to use bumper-to-bumper traffic as an opportunity to kiss (when the car isn't in motion, of course). And all that time I could have been learning other things!

ejesq: Oh, it's very telling how someone handles a mishap. And I agree that one's home can say a lot, but I wouldn't say that someone letting you see their place is always the good sign you might think it is. In my 20s, I met a guy who, after a few dates, invited me to spend New Year's Eve at his house with him and a few neighbors. The neighbors seemed a little uncomfortable, but they were from abroad, so I thought maybe they weren't used to Americans yet or didn't know him that well. They left after midnight and I ended up staying the night, and in the morning we were going to go out for breakfast. I was taking my time getting dressed, while he was acting more and more impatient, and he finally said he was going to go wait in the car. A few more minutes passed, and just as I was picking up my coat and purse to leave, a woman walked in and asked who I was. Astonished, I asked who SHE was. Turns out the guy was married, and his wife worked nights--a 12-hour shift, just long enough for him to have whisked me out of sight before she got home ... if I hadn't been so slow in brushing my hair. No wonder the neighbors were taken aback to meet me!

That is exactly the kind of thing you learn when you are with someone that doesn't have waiting issues, with others it is hard to kiss when they are mumbling under their breath about it taking so long even when you are not in a hurry to get anywhere.
