Thread: What to do on a date?

What type of things do you like to do when you take someone out on a date? It can be hard if you do not know the person well, because there is a lot of pressure to do something fun.

I think it depends on who you and your date are, and what interests the two of you have. You simply want to find a shared interest and do something based on that. A young tourist couple would prefer different activities than an elderly local couple.

What type of thing?

1. Walking as far i can with her.
2. Holding her hand and smile always
3. Eat something sweets like ice cream
4. Watch Movie..

I think its suit with me. How about you guys?

Walking as far as you can with her? Do you mean just taking a long walk? What do you do if you get tired of walking before you get home?

Hoho. Thats crazy if she live 1000km from that town. I mean if she can walk with me as long as she can. Its not easy to have some girls walk with you at whole day right?

What will I do with her:

1. Eat together with her under a romantic lightning.
2. Walking with her around a flower park.
3. Get to watching movies with her.

another thing, a good way to spend time together is maybe we can teach each other our own languages... it's always nice to experience new things together and this is one of them...

You know, 20 bucks cuts through the BS and keeps "Jack from being a dull boy". LOL

What are you really meant MR. Im not get what are you trying to bring it here. Sorry

Mr. Woohoo is trying to explain, especially from an American point of view (and I'm not speaking for all Americans--just a lot of us,) that free activities such as walking around a garden are just not going to produce the type of good date that spending $20 would. From his point of view, spending $20 produces a better date than no money.

As for myself, quite honestly, if a guy took me on a first date and wanted to:
a) Take a walk around a flower garden, holding hands
b) Eat ice cream (even if it was 100F or 32C out)
and then c)Wanted to see a movie...

I would first wonder if he was perhaps, 75 years old, stuck in the 1950's, or
someone who rode the short bus for years...but I digress...

I can't imagine anyone other than a Mormon teenager actually enjoying these activities for a first date; try a concert--or the theatre, even a band in a local pub (if you are sure that they are good) would be far more entertaining than just walking around.

Those are all date activities that you have time for later in the relationship, and I don't know too many women who would be impressed by a long walk followed by ice cream--those are things that we did as kids.

Gentlemen, up your game a little bit, spend a few bucks, do something entertaining that isn't self-propelled! As for Panamanian women, well, they tend to have lower expectations, so that whole 'let's go for ice cream!' bit might actually work!

Cheers.

I am just having fun in the forums. Nothing says I love you like $20 bucks.

I would rather do it differently. Will spend couples of minutes in conversing with her about weird stuff in order to know how she thinks (her attitude). If she stands, take her for lunch/dinner (depends on the time) to a swank restaurant to actually check her out. If everything go well, then will go for long drives, movies etc etc.

Will this be your first date? Did you read any books on the subject of dating or did you come to this forum to learn what to do on a date?

Maybe you can recommend some book for them to read MRWOOHOO or better just telling us your experience here. Just share if you dont mind.

I already have, go to the thread that is entitled "MRWOOHOO Knows about the Panama Girls". Feel free to ask questions.

Ok thanks MRWOOHOO . I'll check it out. Do you have any panama gurl to introduce to me. heh

Just make it to Panama and I promise to introduce you to more than one girl.

Nopes MRWOOHOO, I have dated many across the globe as my job is such, travelling all across. May be, i didn't expressed well the idea above but Do you really think, one should read books for learning how to date..lol.

I think one needs to be confident on a date thats it, good looking is another attribute if is.

well on my date i try to remove the shy bits between the girl i am going out with and myself,like on one ocassion i had a date with a girl who used to study in a different college than mine,so i started telling her about my college life and she told me about her .we chatted about why we chose those subjects in college and eventually on some points we had the same views,actually when you are with a girl for the first times,take the time by becoming a good friend of her,its like a step by step brick by brick process and yes one thing more most girls love to hear words of praise but say them such that it doesn't look as if you are doing flattery.

My bad zhingur. I have seen your other posts, my mistake.

If I am on a first date, I prefer to be on a dinner where you can talk and get to know each other more. For me, first date will determine if I like to date that person again

The best venue for a first date is a nice restaurant. There you can get to know each other through conversation. This is a good time to find out what your date likes to do on dates. And the end of the evening, you should have some idea where to go or what to do next, if you both agree to see each other again.

Not exactly rocket science....

Self-quoted for correction (in red text), due to expired editing option.

I agree that a nice restaurant is a great setting for a date, however you can't always stick with these traditional things. Some people feel uncomfortable in such settings, so if you or the person you're dating don't like such a thing it's best to avoid it. Although if you're daring you can give it a try, but to be on the safe side it might not be a good idea especially if either of you are nervous people.

Are you one of those people who are uncomfortable in such settings? Few people are at ease during the first stages of a first date, regardless of the setting, but if they're compatible, they tend to slip into a comfort zone as the evening wears on. If they're not meant for each other, no setting in the world will be comfortable enough for them. Some things - like a restaurant for a first date - are traditional because it's makes sense to a vast majority of people, even nervous ones. There, a couple can get to know each other and if they're lucky enough to hit it off, can select a more exotic setting for a second date.

Here's a tip on that:

Make the girl smile always. Don't let her see what's your weakness on your date. Don't let her get mad at you just because of a little misunderstanding (like paying bills at the resto) And mostly, Do whatever she wants to do as long as you can give her happiness. Bring 40 bucks on your first date That will satisfy her.

Care to elaborate on the part of your quote I put in bold print?

There a number of quality places to take someone on a first date;

1. Try a day tour in Casco Viejo
2. Try the Wine Bar
3. Cocktails at Indigo
4. Bike riding on the Caseway

These are some good ones that I have used

Take a long walk along the coast in the moon light! or spend some time at the mall eating.

I would try dinner then go sit in the park for awhile and see what happens. If you are lucky there is always the push button.
