First Date - Creative Romance

So, you've got a date coming up this weekend? Have any idea where you're going? Or what you want to do once the two of you arrive. Get your mind out of the gutter. I'm talking about recreational activities. If it's a first date don't be too quick to invite him back to your place and it may be too soon to be hanging out at his place unless you're old friends. The movies don't make for a comfortable first date. If he's super attracted to you and you're just not sure yet that you want to suck face the dark, cold movie house should be off limits until you know each other better. First dates should be about getting to know each other. Again, the movies isn't usually a good first date option

Go someplace you can talk to each other and find out what kind of movies he prefers. A loud concert won't give you much chance to compare what you have in common. However, if a great looking guy with a nice car asks you to accompany him to the concert of your dreams go ahead. Be sure he's not a serial killer beforehand. Here I go trying to be serious and funny at once. Just remember it's not a laughing matter if he turns out to be a lunatic.

I've never been on a first date beginning with fast food that turned into anything worth writing about except to say even a poor boy can do better. A picnic in the city park is a safe place to meet and greet each other. Talk about 'eating out.' Out doors that is. Allow yourselfs to be apart of nature at it's best unless one of you has major allergies. He'll let you know as soon as you mention the great outdoors. The zoo might not smell great, but you'll find out if he's an animal person. How he treats god's creatures may serve as a clue to how he will treat you. If he hates animals he's probably lacking in tolerance. This may be a sign he makes unfair judgements based upon superficial assessments. No animal haters allowed.

Take him to a carnival and see how strong his throwing arm is going to be when you need him to baseball train the future children you'll have together. SHHH. He doesn't need to know you're sizing him up and don't expect the first date to lead to an expensive dream wedding your dad will have to skip retirement to pay for in this lifetime. You might not want to introduce him to your family until you're sure you like him, because if you're not sure how you feel about this new guy your family may try to make up your mind for you. Wait a little while and then it won't matter what your cousin thinks once you've decided he very well may be a keeper. I'm not recomending going off in the woods either. Your friends should be the first to meet him.

If you both enjoy sports the ballgame still isn't the best first date unless it's just fate, because there's not much one on one. So, where the heck you going to go
on a first date? The public pool is acceptable even if you don't have a hot bod, but reguardless of your assests please leave the skimpy two piece at home just this once. Once he's seen you in a flattering one piece he'll be more likely to want to go again if you just happen to mention the bikini didn't make it out of your drawer this time. Remember, this doesn't have to be your mother's one piece, but it probably shouldn't belong in an issue of sports illustrated either. Be sure to have handy a decent cover up when needed. Also, don't forget a change of clothes.

Heavy shoppping doesn't make sense. It's hard to focus on each other when you're in search of the perfect sale. Women tend to take shopping a lot more seriously than men and he may feel he's out of his element. Going to a club for the purpose of dancing is a sexy, but reasonable idea. It's still alright to go to clubs with a date, but certain realities should be taken into consideration. Don't drink to get drunk. Even if you're not drinking anything harder than sprite watch your drink. If you've known the guy awhile in your social circle it's wiser than going to a club with a complete stranger. When you don't know where he lives or works and you barely recall his last name going anywhere with him could be a gamble. Arrange for friends to meet you at the club if you're really not sure about this guy. Remember, what you're wearing will say more about you once you've had a few drinks. PRovacative clothing always becomes more trouble than it's usually worth at the end of the night.

On a first date, it's important to let someone know where you're going and who you'll be with on your date. Preferably you'll talk to someone in the local area either on the phone or in person before you go out with a stranger. Never leave behind your cell. Women have actually called 911 from the trunk of motor vehicles. I'm not trying to frighten you out of dating. I simply don't want your date to belong in the scary x files.

Art musuems have a romantic lure. If you both enjoy art you'll likely spark some pretty interesting conversations while trolling around in musuems and gallerys. If he splurges on the most expensive piece of work in the place you're being warned about his poor impulse control and his desire to show off his trophies. Going out to a nice restarant can be romantic as well. Classic is a safe bet. Have fun! And happy dating to everyone.

Of course, you can take a first date to the batting cages if you want to. Just make sure he knows how to play the game.
