Pretty much. I'll usually leave my phone on the table and explain it's because randy's at home. But I'll ignore it otherwise

I mean seriously. and not being condescending either, but since when is it not entertaining getting to know someone new?

First date or so is about gathering data and making small talk. finding out what shes looking for. how terrible her kids are. if shes high maintenance. if she has a sense of humor

Unless shes like paige and youre finding out whether she wore underwear or not

Kids come first... I know..

It amazes me when I go out and entire tables are just staring at their phones waiting for food or drinks. Jesus, talk people. Human interaction is what it is really all about.

Dude he's screwed

If he's thinking that much about it no way he'll be comfortable, even though being nervous is understandable. You really have to come off as relaxed and confident to have a chance. Unless she's one of those random girls who thinks that nervous guys are cute.

Also tell him not to get his hopes up. It's a first date, if it crashes and burns oh well at least he tried. Got to get back on the saddle sooner or later.

Never. You may like them or not. But, meeting new people and experiencing new things is what this life is all about. We don't have much time here. Be nice, be open to new experiences.

Seriously, the worst is when you're out with family/friends and you're seated next to a couple who doesn't say two words to each other all evening and instead they spend their entire meal listening to your conversation. I never want to be like that.

Give it time, it'll happen. You run out of things to talk about with someone eventually. Sometimes it just happens sooner than others.

Yea, that couple is miserable and have settled for "comfort". I can't think of a worse existence.

First dates are the most fun. Just tell him to drink until he is comfortable.

No. I really don't give a shite, and that's how it should be. If you're nervous, you're doing it wrong. Should just be friends really hanging out. Its the second and third date I get nervous on.

It's always the best advice that flies under the radar in these types of threads.

Nah.

i've set my expectations so low now. The last thing you want to do is to think too much.

do people really study what others are doing all the time now? Could be.

they are so anxious about there own thing they might ask themselves wonder what the young couple over there is up to? That lady is out of his league. The guy doesn't look confident enough.

I guess its possible but I aint got that kind of time if I actually have a date.

He should hold off on 1 on 1 dates until after being intimate.

Have her meet up with him and friends doing some activity you were going to do any way.

You only have 52 Saturday's a year. That's prime dating real estate that need to be reserved for girls who have already invested something in you.

If she doesn't like your friends, cut your losses. If she is resistant, how fun is it to be trapped with an antisocial girl for a relationship. Cut your losses early there too.
