Title: What makes a good date?
Post by: (R.I.P.) YooperYankDude on February 15, 2010, 08:49:42 PM
K... so we have the thread on should a guy ask a girl out... well when he asks her out, what makes a good date?

Are there certain things that girl expect a guy to do or say when on a date for the first time versus all subsequent dates...?

Are there certain things that guys expect a gal to do or say when on a date for the first time versus all subsequent dates...?

Are there specific elements that can be included to make any date "GREAT"?

Where is the best place to go out on a date? Restaurant? Sports Emporium? Zoo? Concert? Go karts? Or any other place...

Should the guy ask the girls dad and mom before he asks the girl out?


***I have looked through a bunch of the threads and didn't find any that specifically talked about this... maybe I missed it... if so...  :pound: me!  :biglaugh:

A lot of the time, it's not the place as much as it is the company. It's someone who can make you laugh and feel good about yourself at the end of the date.

LOL it all depends on the person and the weather and the area and dozens of other factors.

General rules and concepts:

First date when you don't know the person terribly well:
1. CASUAL - formal events and restaurants tend to make a person nervous even when they aren't on a first date

2. Avoid the sit down restaurant scenario as a starter - staring across the table at a mostly stranger and inventing conversation is painful for all involved - do something and then grab coffee or go to a nice cafe that you have the flexibility of leaving when you're done or hanging around but not subject to a waiter bringing you a check.  If its not working or starting to wane you do not want to be captive and want the flexibility to change the atmosphere quick

3. Do something thats side-by-side rather than face-to-face (like restaurants) - mini golf, bowling, zoo, art gallery - something mildly active where you'll interact but not have to be your own entertainment.  Avoid movies and loud indoor concerts because you can't interact without being a jerk to everyone else in the theater or you won't hear over the music - however outdoor lowkey music performances at a park are GREAT, pack a picnic (bring bug repellent for her) maybe a frisbee and you're golden

4. Ending the evening early while things are good is better than dragging it out and risk ending on the wrong note... leave them and you wanting to truly "do this again sometime"

General great date traits:
Great dates pay attention - if the girl hates chain restaurants, do not go to Applebys for goodness sake!

Great dates do not let nervousness make them annoying - its cute to be nervous, its not cute to get weird because of it

Great dates breathe and do not try to control everything - Instead of overplanning ideas on how to impress her and completely missing the boat, leave it a little open for her input - telling a girl she's going here, there, and then over here and this, this and this is happening tonight - there won't be many dates after that, she'll feel like she's getting dragged along on show and tell and supposed to like it

Great dates do not fawn - a sincere compliment at the beginning of the evening and one at the end will suffice.  The rest of the time get to know her, not worship her. 

Great dates give compliments that show they pay attention - "You look lovely, thats a good color on you and accents your <eyes> <hair> <whatever>" is much better than "You look nice."  Only say it if its true!

Great dates are real and understand that you're both going to only marry one person but can be friends with the rest - focus on the friend part and don't subject them to a litmus test for marriage.  Be encouraging and accepting of who they are and enjoy the time together


Asking a mom or dad... um maybe if she's still in highschool?  Or if you're already well acquainted with the family and wanting to take it to another level then it might behoove you to get dear old dad to feel things out for you ahead of time anyway.  Otherwise if she's an adult professional woman I'd leave her parents out of it until she wants them involved.

Wow... that was a great well thought out response... lol.

I have never really had a "date" even though i have dated... lol. Not in church at least... things were much different in HS than they are now.

Funny story time... lol

Once I was out with a bunch of young singles, and it was guys on one side of the table, and girls on the other.

There was a gal that I was sitting across from that I really was interested in, and my buddy was interested in one of my friends, so we four were kinda having our own chat.

My friend, *Lucy* (changing names to protect the innocent) was saying how guys never notice certain things about girls, My friend *Bill* and I were in denial of it, so she decided to prove it...

She asked Bill what color her eyes were, and he replied brown, and they were brown, so he got major brownie points. When *Liz* asked me what color hers were, I realized I hadn't a clue and guess Blue. I guessed right... lol. She nodded approvingly, and then Lucy asked Bill what color shoes she was wearing, and he immediately said black.

I sat in awe, cause I hadn't even noticed... and again, more brownie points for Bill... and then he went on to compliment her on how they matched her dress.

Then Liz asked me, and I again had no clue, but her dress "looked" purple, so I said "purple"... she was like "purple? "Why on earth would I have on purple shoes...?" I replied, "because your lovely dress is purple and yellow... and she got mad, and replied that "her dress was not purple and yellow, it was blue and yellow, and she had made it herself."

Well, things just went downhill from there... everyone had a good laugh about it, and I decided to go take pictures of a local tornado for a while. Needless to say, I never saw or heard from that one ever again... lol... just as well... lol.

Ruby:  Any particular reason?  :freaky2:  lol

Let's see...  Good date...  Well, I have done some research, and found that the "Medjool Date is considered to be the very finest date grown in the world."   They were "grown exclusively for royalty in ancient times."
http://www.dateland.com/

As to what makes a good date...  that's up to the individual's taste.  ;)  Mejdool dates, anyone?  ;)

lol

I have to agree with the fact that if it's the right person (or simply not the total wrong person) it doesn't matter quite as much what you do.  Truly good dates definitely hinge upon the fact that the two of you get along well.  After you know you get along well, then good dates hinge on finding something that you BOTH enjoy...  which requires getting to know the other person and asking lots of questions and just spending time talking.

Where can you just talk?
Group dates
Eating out after church
Church (especially if you're both involved in a project or ministry together)
On the phone
At her house (bonus points for getting to know the parents)

One thing to note is that taking a girl to an amusement park may be awesome, but if the carousel makes her nauseated and she prefers to go to the zoo, Six Flags is likely not the best option.
On the other hand, if she has asthma or severe allergies, she's probably going to choose the amusement park over the zoo.

I'd choose the amusement park anyday...  of course, that's all based on the whole thing of enjoying his company well enough to want to spend a full day with him.

I'm with Mary on the side-by-side thing.  Find something to focus on besides simply one another.  Mini golf and bowling are good, as are many other fun things.  Feeding ducks at a pond...  walking on he beach...  flying a kite...

Do things that you BOTH enjoy.

Group outings are invaluable, in my opinion, as they allow time for you to see how this person interacts with others.  He/she may be a jewel to you, but treat others like inferior creatures.  It's a great thing to see their treatment of people other than you.

Okay...  it's late.  I'm sure I'll think of more later.

The Zoo is something I think would be good. Unless the person is like me, and gets all wrapped up in photographing the animals... lol... then there would little communication. But I am a quality time guy... just having someone there with me, is enough to make me happy...

maybe its just because i am old people, but to me the best date i have had with Jim was just him coming by and us sitting on the porch for awhile, then taking a walk down the street. i love that he can just give himself and his time. big dinners out and stuff really dont impress me if you cant sit and just be with me.

Post by: upcchris on February 16, 2010, 12:54:51 PM
First date? something really low-key and non-threatening. Leave the flowers for her birthday or Val's day if you're both still together then. I've suggested bowling or laser skirmish and McDs, in another thread, as a good, non-threatening idea...although it depends how much of a competitive streak you have.

Walks on the beach? Theatre maybe? Maybe not, if you want to converse...picnic lunch is always good...depending on the weather....and...maybe that's more of a second or third date idea. Find a common interest...if it's Anime/Sci Fi, there may be conventions coming up...if its SCA, there may be tournaments or Medieval/Renn  Faires coming up...etc...find out what you both like to do and what you both like and dislike....and for pity sake don't compromise and do someting neither of yu want to do....but be flexible.

bowling. zoo [my favorite idea thus far]. [if it's not pouring buckets of snow from heaven] mini golf. coffee shop. church functions. hiking is also a favorite of mine or just milling around a park.

just make sure that if it's something with keeping a score [bowling, etc], don't be a bad sport when she whoops your hind end. [yes this has happened to me. i can't help the fact i come from a long line of awesome bowlers]

sitting across the table from each other in a nicer restraunt can be mucho intimadating. it's hard to hold a steady convo and worry about food stuck in your teeth. and that's one of those situations where you feel like you HAVE to keep a convo going or you're just sitting staring at each other. no fun in that!

Lady Chris,

  From the first graph, I had already thought of making the joke about 'Val's day" like I did on a mediervalist forum where there is an SCA event they call 'Val's Day." A couple of you may remember my SCA and medieval reenactment name is 'Valstarr Hawkwind" and it is commonly shortened to 'Val" on a large website for medievalists, and some SCAers who have met me.

  THEN I saw you mention the SCA itself..if I may ask, have you attended any SCA or other medieval reenactments, Lady Chris? We have a fair number of Australians in the SCA, and on the medievalist forum I'm part of.

Val...err, John :bustamove:

LOL. Actually, Sir John, I looked up the Australian branch. I've always wanted to join, but reluctant to do so by myself. Two are better than one and all that, my main reason for not wanting to sign up by myself, though, would probably be because I'd need transport to the events and meetings.

LOL... you should bring him along... promise I wont make ya'll feel like chaperon's... and of course for there to be chaperon's there'd have to be a reason to have them, and at this point in time, I know of no reason to have one... lol... unless someone somewhere knows something I don't... LOL

Unless you count the numerous lions, and tigers, and squirrels that seem to take a liking to me... got a few stories about that... maybe later. lol

LOL... The protection would be great, I almost got mugged by a family of squirrels whose daughter lured me into her family circle by being cute, and posing for picks.  The metro ride alone is good enough to come chill out there. I went to the National Zoo twice when I was back, it was very cool. Lots of good photos...

I want to upgrade my Canon 20D to a Canon 7D, or a Nikon D300... but money is not there right now... lol, so it'll have to wait.

Well let's see, I have had a first date at a put put golf course, I remembered why I do not play that very often, I am not good, not good at all.  But it is about the fun and conversation not the game for me.

The last time I went bowling I slipped an fell 3 times.  My leg is just not into slippery shoes, heavy weights in one hand, and a highly waxed floor.  Way too funny though.

Oh and I just recently purchased a Nikon D3000 I love it.  For those of you who like to check out pictures, check out the ones on my Facebook page from my cruise.

Chemistry. What is dumb and boring to one person, may be just right for the next.

One woman finds a certain guy who is steady, a hard worker, gets along with everyone boring and like a prison. The next one finds safety in a good hard-working, steady guy.

It's all chemistry. Sometimes the girl's past experiences determine what kind of guy she really wants.

Makes total perfect sense... cause guys can be the same ways about girls! 

Chemistry is something that only time can prove out, that and being around each other in different circumstances.

Another idea for a date....depending on how much money you're willing to spend - and I don't know if I've metioned this before....but take her to a theatrical production/musical you're both interested in seeing. I'm only suggesting it, because I went to one yesterday (not a date, a broadway musical that came over here), it was fantastic.

I was personally thinking a good first date is any first date that didnt involve the night winding up like AB's new avatar....

LOL... I think all guys would agree with you on this one...

AB... that's much better of a way to keep guys at bay than even a Dad with a double barrel shotgun, sitting on the porch when a guy shows up to take a girl out...

Thought you didnt own any guns... LOL...

***All guys with any sense in their heads run from AB with her :2pistol:***

Not sure, that could be interesting, as long as the gun was not pointed at me.  Hmmm... dinner and shooting at the shooting range.    :freaky2:

Better get a Kevlar helmet too... and a chain-mail to protect your neck. You'll not only have to worry with AB and her blazing guns... but I heard Sunlight really likes chicken...

That would only make her look suspicious and guilty, and we know that the guilty flee when no man (or woman, or rooster) pursues...

I would recommend an investigation into Sunlights interests in chickens...

Did Sunlight declare her interest in chickens?

I DO recall that a certain rooster once declared his interest in nurses.

I guess he mistakenly thought the glass was bulletproof. 


As for Nurses, they can be good, or they can be bad.  I have had a few people try to introduce me to nurses.  In fact if I go of the single females I know, I think the majority are nurses.  Maybe there is something in nursing that draws in the single UPCI ladies.

Nurses are great... lol... but can be bad... especially when they decide to use you for a test subject for injecting needles and drawing blood... just watch out for the ones who say you have "nice and easy" veins... LOL  :biglaugh:

Well I know better then to trust that.  I do not have easy veins.  but then again that may not be a good thing, she may want a challenging veins to practice on.

I don't think we watched all of it... and the teacher had an edited version I think... I guess I don't remember much about it. Isnt that "one flew over the..."
with Jack Nicholson? (definitely not one my fav. actors from when I was growing up...)
