We all have our own first date horror stories. Luckly I have avoided the “you know I’m a dude right?” kind of bad date, but there have been some bad ones. The problem is that as a guy, I have no idea where to take a woman on the first date. I’m sure they don’t want to go see a niner game with me, or see what new comics are in my box at the comic book store (yes, I have a box…) So where do you take someone you barely know to impress them. The answer to that, I don’t know. I DO know 5 places NOT to take them though! Check them out after the jump!
#1.) A Club. You can’t talk because it’s too loud. So the only thing you can do is dance, which is a little too physical for a first date.
#2.) The Bar Where All Your Friends Are Meeting Up. If you want to CONTINUE the date by introducing them to your friends, that’s okay. Just don’t include your friends in the WHOLE date, because you won’t have any one-on-one time. Plus, meeting someone’s friends on a first date can be intimidating.
#3.) A Movie. It’s another situation where you won’t be able to talk or get to know each other. You’ll just sit there for two hours in the dark. So it’s better as a SECOND date.
#4.) Dinner. It’s definitely not the WORST first date idea, but sitting across from each other asking questions for an hour can feel like an interrogation. And since dinner is such a common date idea, a lot of people go into a default ‘first-date-dinner’ routine without even knowing it. So the whole thing might feel awkward or scripted, which is the exact opposite of how you want an awesome first date to be.
#5.) Anywhere with Your Kids. You don’t even have to TELL the other person about your kids on a first date. Get to know each other a little, then bring it up on the SECOND date. Otherwise, you’ll just scare them off. But definitely don’t have them MEET your kids on a first date, and don’t bring them to a kid event like a soccer game either. It’s too much pressure, not to mention it’s not fair to your children.
