I went overboard on my reply to you,but really, I think acceptable dates,fall into your social category.

Where did you meet? At The Historic Heritage Foundation,for your city? Or at the local bar?

As a guy,and a wolf.You better decide if you want to own this.

Do you want it? Go get it,don't frick around. You can decide if you want to keep it later.

I prefer to be that over the top guy, to the one that is every girls buddy.

I guessed right, you are one of those weird nurses.

Be careful trying to push your fantasies on everybody, I am a married man.

While I like your style for the second date, buying some expensive dinner isn't "owning it". A movie is just about the most awkward first date activity possible. A super expensive dinner only makes it more awkward and sets up unrealistic expectations for the relationship. Also, the first date should NEVER be up to her, heck the first 3 dates should NEVER be up to her. Now, she may be allowed some input (what kind of food does she like, is there any food she doesn't like or can make her sick, ect), but the first 3 dates (and indeed most dates) should be approached with the following mindset: I want to do _______, feel free to join me. The idea should be that you are just being yourself, having fun the way that you know how, and she's along for the ride.

First date should be light, comfortable, and semi-casual. Second date is fun and wild. Third date is classy.

Just judging you on the internet, just like you do with other people.

You formed an opinion of me, early in this conversation. You stated it.
Turn about is fair play.

The first date should be something relaxed, but still a little conservative. You're trying to impress her some, but you can't go too far or else you'll look like you're trying too hard or set unrealistic expectations for the relationship. Dinner at at a reasonably priced, but kinda trendy (think Pinetta's, Degullio Bros, City Pork, The Chimes, ect), restaurant is a good play. Baseball games are perfect as an activity because there is just enough going on that you don't need to talk the whole time, but plenty of space for conversation. That's the kind of activity you should be shooting for. Something where you can talk, but don't necessarily have to to keep it from being awkward. The second date is all about getting out of your comfort zone and showing her a little quirkiness. Mini-golf and go-karts are perfect. It's fun, relaxed, and competitive without being mean-spirited. Paintball may be a little too much (or may not be depending on the girl), but laser tag would likely be fun. Zoos and aquariums are good. Firing range can be fun. It should make her feel like a kid and be something memorable and fun. Maybe take her to your favorite hole-in-the-wall restaurant afterwards. The third date is generally a little more romantic. This is where you show that, sure, you're fun and quirky, but you can also clean up nice too. Take her to a little nicer place than your first date restaurant, but nothing too high-priced (Gouter, Table, Parrain's, ect). As an activity, take her to a play or a concert, somewhere where you should dress fairly nice. That way she gets to dress up for you. After that's over, take her to a nice cocktail bar or a real laid back beer bar with a great atmosphere (Lock & Key, Radio Bar, patio at the Bulldog, the Cove, Draft House). A jazz band is a plus (Blues Room) so ya'll can slow dance while feeling classy. Finish the night by taking her to a place that's special to you. Maybe it's a spot that offers a great view. Maybe it's your favorite spot for drunk food. Maybe it's the first place you ever heard the Beatles, I don't know. Either way, it will be memorable.
this is some great advice. Never go super fancy on the first date. It can be awkward if you do and put too many expectations on the rest. But by the third date, you should have an idea of this is heading anywhere. That's when you impress her and make everything official.

Yeah,hell just bored, I am at home, the wife is about to deliver and is restricted to bed.

My Mom has been here at my house for 2 weeks.

I need a damn good gunfight about now.

I do stand behind my opinion on that first date,depending on how you meet.

First and second are find out shite dates.


Couldn't agree more.

Yeah, like find out of she's wearing panties. Find out if she has a gag reflex, find out if she likes it in her crack or on her back.

So I'm supposed to pick a cheaper restaurant that I wouldn't normally eat at to make sure she's comfortable.

frick that. If she's not comfortable at the places I like then that's just something we don't have in common.

Man, some of y'all over think everything.

About the only good advice I've seen is no movie on a first date.
