    I have a kind of habit of having sex on the first date. Never really intended, but it's always a great icebreaker.

    For a blind date there are two sets of rules. .

    If I like the girl:
    Pay, open doors, let the conversation flow, ask lots of questions, be myself, etc. . . blah blah blah. .

    If I DON'T like the girl:
    Get drunk, swear a lot, slap her *kitten*, talk loudly about S&M and Bondage, Leer at other women, suggest a threesome with her and the bartender, ignore what she says while staring at the TV, then tell her I forgot my wallet but that I have change in my car.

    *sigh*.. rules. Really? Cliche much? What are we 15 years old?

    If you're confident in yourself and what you're looking for you don't need "rules" to guide you on a date. Just be you. There's no way you're going to be able to make an intelligent (read: fair) judgment about a person on first date. Because on a first date, everybody is on their best behavior.

    You're setting yourself up for failure when you go into it with all kinds of preclusions. Why over complicate things? Just enjoy hanging out with somebody new. And if you like em take em home and show em a good time. :bigsmile:

    YOLO!

    for all the cheap women in the thread, at least buy a round of drinks, it's 5 dollars, and trust me, the guys will appreciate it.

    I always appreciate a woman that buys a round! I'm not sure if its a St. Louis thing (home of Budweiser and plenty of micro brews) but $2.00 16oz & $2.75 24oz draft is the norm. smiley-eatdrink016.gif

    You jest, but I really am. Passing judgment so quickly and without clarification is folly. ;)

    I think my only rule is to trust my instinct... and don't suggest a date that your prospect has indicated they're not interested in.

    Case in point:

    Someone wanted to take me on a first date, and the suggestion was that we go to a bar, and watch wrestling in the lounge. I am soooo not a fan of wrestling. I love MMA, and boxing, but wrestling makes me queasy - the overacting gets me.

    So ok.. I figure I'll be open and say yes... and we get to the bar and it's a $10 cover... and he says, you're gonna have to pay for yours, payday isn't til next week. Oh, and can you buy me a beer?

    The first part I could give him a pass on, since maybe he really enjoys wrestling.

    But why on earth would he ask a girl out without having money is beyond me.

    I guess if it was me I would've said "I'm not really into wrestling but maybe after the match I could meet up with you then?" There is no way in hell I could sit through some boring sport I have noooo interest in.

    But yeah 10 dollar cover and he won't even pay? Hell no! And then you buy drinks? Terrible!

    So you wouldn't be willing to try to share in a potential partner's interests? Hmm.

    If it's wrestling, then no, frankly! ;)

    I'd be expecting to have already found a good number of redeeming qualities to accept a girl that liked wrestling :P.

    In an attempt to turn her off?

    Ok; fair point; I have no problem with a real sport.

    Incredibly poor acting does nothing for me.

    It always makes me happy when someone gets a Scrubs reference. :p

    Did you catch the winky face? That made it have a sexual connotation.

    I don't particularly like wrestling either, but if the person I'm interested in was excited to having.scored tickets and wanted to share something she loves with me? Hell yes I'm going.

    Just the same if I wanted to take her to Comicon or a gaming convention and wanted to share my.nerdgasm with her, I'd appreciate her going with me.

    To a certain extent, definitely. But she already knows she doesn't like wrestling. If she had never seen it before it would be different. But think about it this way...what if a girl said "let's watch the all day marathon of Millionaire Matchmaker and paint our nails." What if that is my interest? Somewhere there has to be a place where a couple can say "you know, I don't really like wrestling/seeing chick flicks/getting a manicure/going to a football game so maybe you could go alone/with your friends/family and then we could meet up after??"

    There are many gender neutral activities that people can do together.

    Like...
    - bars and restaurants
    - museums
    - parks/lakes/beaches
    - recreational activities (playing a round of pick up basketball, etc.)
    - movies
    - taking a class together

    I would be massively annoyed if all a guy wanted to do was take me out to watch a basketball game on a big screen at BWW, same way most men would be annoyed if their girlfriend wanted to take them to get makeovers.
