Five Great Dating Locations that Can Turn into a Disaster

Every first date is not going to be the same, but there are five common first date locations that can turn into a nightmare if it's with the wrong person and without proper preparation.

Movie theater-You're all revved up to see that new action or dramatic flick, and your date is talking through the entire movie. Her cell phone is going off, and even though she's polite enough to put it on vibrate (hopefully), that flashing light is driving you insane. And you're wondering who is calling her so much. Could it be she has a boyfriend? When the light isn't going off, she's asking you for enough refreshments to pay your electricity bill before the credits start.

Suggestion: Ask your date what she's like in a movie theater. Make a joke out of how annoying cell phone users are or people talking through the movie. If she doesn't find any humor in it, avoid movie theaters.

Restaurant-You don't really like vegetarian or Italian food, but your date loves the stuff. There are three things you can actually tolerate on the menu, and when you get them, the food is cold. Your date talks with food in his mouth, and then he doesn't have enough to pay the bill. And he told your waiter that he looks like Bruce Lee simply because he's Asian and begs the waiter for more sample wine because he doesn't want to pay for a full glass.

Suggestion: Ask your date what type of food he likes and keep making suggestions until you both find a restaurant you equally like. Surprising someone with a restaurant that neither of you have been to or one that you're not sure he likes can be torture. There's also no classy way to ask someone to cover the bill, so as much as it might hurt his ego, ask him how much he can spend at this restaurant as soon as you sit down. If his funds are shaky, don't even bother drinking the water. Go somewhere else where you don't have to calculate everything you want to purchase.

Amusement Park-You're wondering why in the world did your date agree to go to an amusement park like Great America when she's scared of heights. She freaks out on every ride but wants you to spend a bunch of money in the game room to buy her a stuffed animal, although you'd rather be hanging upside down with your arms in the air on the best new ride in the park. And when she does get on the rides, she lectures the safety representatives about the height of the chair or how tight the safety bar is on her breasts.

Suggestion: Never go to an amusement park without finding out just how the other person feels about heights, noisy kids, game room activity, and standing in long lines. Check the amusement park's website for parking and entrance fees too to make sure you're prepared to pay the necessary amount, not including game room money.

Music concert-He loves the rapper onstage, even when he's ranting about how "b - - tches ain't s - - t" or how he wants to "skeet skeet" with them against the wall. He's rapping along to every word of the song, but you're wondering does he even remotely respect women. Meanwhile the girl next to you has climbed out of her underwear, is saying she loves the rapper onstage fifteen times, and bumps into you trying to get as close to the front as possible.

Suggestion: Never go to a music concert to see someone that you just "kinda" like or someone you're not familiar with. A music concert can be one of the best dates if both of you are fans of the artist, but if you don't know any of the songs and are just plain tired of the ambiance, you should've never agreed to this date. Be prepared for the audience around you too. Even though your date may be okay, but there's no contract that says the fans need to impress you.

Picnic-Although this is an intimate setting to get to know the guy, mosquitoes are tearing your arms up, bugs are flying around the food, and thunder just grumbled threatening to ruin your freshly permed hair. You've decided to wear white and now have dirt and food stains on your outfit, and the blanket smells.

Suggestion: Do not wear restaurant attire on a picnic. Always choose dark pants, shorts, and refrain from a skirt since you'll be sitting on the ground or grass. Mosquito repellent doesn't smell all that sexy, but unless you want bug bites all over your arms, ignore the vanity and put it on. He can smell your perfume on the way to the park. Pack your food in secure bags and in a basket, making sure that anything that is too sweet and may attract bugs (ex. watermelon) is in Tupperware. Or, consider setting up a tent to avoid some of nature's friends. Putting up a tent may sound like a lot of work, but it can be a fun way to remember your girl scout days.
