Tips for a first date? (guys only..)
Replies

I think instead of flowers, a stuffed animal or something that will not die is a better gesture. If it works out, they will have something to remember the first date too unless the Dog, or children get to it and destroy it.
Just my 2 cents
Thank you for your time.
But we will be going with other advice at this time...

Yep, in Huntsville, Alabama. One of the most intelligent cities in the nation, home of the densest population of rocket scientists you will ever find in one city. I suggest you not come around. With your dumbass attitidude, you probably wouldn't make it out alive.
But he has beaten Navy SEALS and Marines at pantball, so you better watch out. He's been training for ten years.0 -
Drive up to her house in a cherry red Corvette and if that doesn't wow her then your on your own.0
-
what would you do, if you don't go to her door?? Text her to let her know you're there? Honk your horn? Call her? What the Hell? Man up and knock on her door, like a gentleman.
As the father of a little girl...if any guy ever comes to my house and honks the horn he better be dropping something off. Because he sure as hell ain't picking anything up.
Yup. And I've raised my son to behave better than that too. No freaking texting from the car saying you're there. Though I have to say, the girls that have picked him up text, rather than come to the door. Like I'm too intimidating to meet.
I think it's just society changing. It's not that anyone is scared of you per se. (They may be scared of you, but texting to say you have arrived is common and normal behavior).
Although I must say my daughter is definitely never getting a cell phone nor going on a date until she is 36. Guys are crazy.0 -
Okay so when I pick her up, should I walk to her door? I'm kind of afraid of her dad opening the door,
You said you wanted to show your dominance - well then, don't be afraid to walk up to the door and make a good impression if her dad does open the door. Be confident.So I was thinking about opening the car door for her and closing it. Is that too "soft" of me? I don't want to come off as some sort of softy. Well I want to be nice/ polite
There is nothing wrong with this, Manners go a long way. It doesn't show you're soft if you do this.Also I was thinking while we are driving to the restaurant I was gonna reach in the back seat and surprise her with some flowers. Is that too much?
Don't do this if you're driving!! Also, I've never bought someone flowers on a first date. But that's just me personally.Should I pay for her meal? I've done some research and a lot of guys say you shouldn't have to pay for everything on the first date because there might not be a second.
If you feel comfortable doing so then yeah, go for it. I tend to do this anyway. But there's no issues in both of you paying. It depends on how it goes. If you have a good date, then yeah, pay for the meal. If the date is rubbish and she spends most of her time on her phone texting her friends then personally I wouldn't. I find it so rude when people do this when having dinner with someone.Lastly..should I bring "protection" just in case
It never hurts to have some on you. Just don't expect it on the first date.
*Disclaimer* I'm single, and haven't been on a date in a long time. So all of the above could be complete rubbish. :laugh:
Good luck!
this is all great advise...no flowers...if you get a second date or if you use the condom then give her flowers...lol0 -

Eh, I know it's common and normal. But I'm nosy and curious. I want to see who my son's going out with.0 -

Because us silly women don't know what we want and we need you big, strong alpha males to tell us, right?0 -
And no flowers, stuffed animals, trinkets, etc. I wouldn't like that at all.0

Good troll post!!
1. If you want to be alpha, you have to intimidate her dad
2. Dont open her door, have her open yours
3. Dont gjve her flowers or she will have expectations
4. Conveniently "forget" your wallet
5. Insist on ordering her food for her and MAKE SURE it is a salad
6. Dont bring protection, that way if she wants it bad enough you can coerce her without it and have a better time. Remember, she cant get pregnant the first time you have sex, especially if she is on top. Because gravity.0 -
Yes open her door, manors are appreciated.
Manors are DEFINITELY appreciated...you got a big house, you get the girl!0 -

I think flowers on a first date would freak me out (but I haven't dated in 12 years).0

*Never bought a girl flowers crew* checking in.
Seriously, I always thought bringing a woman flowers before a date comes off as desperate.
Hold the door, pay for drinks, look good, and bring protection.
And NEVER (I mean NEVER), buy a woman dinner before you sleep with her.0 -
I cannot figure out how you're single. It boggles the mind.Flowers are nice, but they'd die in the car while you are on your date
You don't take the flowers on the date. You take them to the door and she puts them in water before you go.
No flowers before a first date.
You two (DM and rml) are very different people.
I highly doubt rml is the type of woman DM would ever want to pursue.
Just agree to disagree.0 -
Mike and DMZ give GREAT advice if you want to stay single.*Never bought a girl flowers crew* checking in.

And I will not agree to disagree that sexually assaulting one's date is proper, as you both seem to think.0 -

Why in hell would a woman give the time of day to a guy who demands sex before dinner? You are seriously twisted, dude. Either that, or you date underage teenagers who don't know any better. (<----Probably this!)0 -

Aren't you that 37 year old lady that vaguely looks like Howard Stern? Why are you the master of dating in 2014 all of a sudden?
This is a high school kid.
If someone coming to pick me up would call me while I'm finishing brushing my teeth I would answer the phone and yell "I'm coming" and be all bothered when all they had to do was text me to say "here" and I know to head outside. Nobody cares about your "rules" quite frankly and you don't have hot guys fighting over being able to spend time with you like high school girls do.0 -

Yeah, I vaguely look like Howard Stern. I'm crying now.
Why don't you go play with your imaginary friends.0 -
Honestly those two are the reason I left the single peeps group. Although I am no longer single I don't see that changing for either of them in any future, current or alternative.

fixed that for you
When I was a dating girl I liked to be dated. If I was asked out on a date I expected that he was picking me up, opening doors for me (how else do you get the 360 view I just spent an hour or more perfecting), and paying the tab (that being said, if the date was going well I would suggest after dinner drinks and since that was my suggestion I would pick up that tab). If it was "dutch" it was no longer a date. If I was dating a guy he had a chance of getting lucky, if we weren't on a date he had no chance of getting lucky.0 -
I don't, either. But they're great Friday afternoon entertainment.

Well whatever it is they know (for better or worse) is what I like. I don't want to be with a jaded/entitled asset-*kitten* I want to be with a lighthearted, nubile, easily influenced pretty young thang who has a lust for life and everything is new and exciting and is easy to impress her.
Thats whats fun. You honestly dont have that kind of pull to be able to demand such thinks from anything other than the beta 2nd string white knights.
The reason you want all these flowers and showings of good will from guys is because you're not sexually attracted/threatened by them potentially seducing you anyway cuz they are mostly turds and the whole "romance" is based on the unromantic notion of them seeking your partnership/companionship like a close friend would, not a true lover.0 -
