Dating : Can I please get some first date advice?
Hey everyone, hope you are all having a wonderful start to your week. I was just wondering if I could get some of your opinions on whether or not this idea is alright for a first date.
So anyway, I matched with a girl on hinge (we are both mid 20s) and we’ve been talking on there for a few days and since I enjoyed talking with her I decided to ask her on a date. She said she would like to go on one. I don’t go on a lot of dates, but for first dates I normally just like meeting up to grab a coffee or something cause it can be quick and I feel like it’s a low pressure way to meet someone for the first time. Well, due to our schedules the only time that works for us both is in the early evening around dinner time. I’m not the biggest fan of dinner dates and I don’t feel like going to a brewery and grabbing drinks either. I’ve done drinks before for dates and they’ve been enjoyable, it’s just with my schedule I would prefer not to this time.
I was thinking of taking her to go bowling and then go grab some ice cream afterwards. My only problem is that the time is around dinner time so we might both be hungry which is were I am getting confused. I don’t want to push bowling back too late cause I have work early in the AM the next day, but if don’t push it back I feel like we should at least grab something to eat first. So my question is what order would be best?
– food > bowling > ice cream
– food > bowling
– bowling > ice cream
I’m honestly open to any and all advice so if you even have another date suggestion, I’m all ears! Thanks so much!
I’m a girl and I would prefer a real date (not a casual date) that I can dress nicely in front of my partner and same with him, both take our date seriously. And for the second date, we can just hangout to get ice cream, go to the park in casual clothes, just have fun to get to know each other better because going on the 2nd date means we feel something, have chemistry. Just IMO. I had one date that I remember the most. He took me to a restaurant for a dinner. Then picked up boba then went to Times Square, just sat there and saw the crowd, he held my hand, we said nothing but I felt peaceful, happy and calm. We could spend hours like that. I loved it.
I don’t think bowling on the 1st date is a good idea because we don’t understand each other much, can’t ask questions about many topics. Just food and icecream, go for a walk. It depends on how the date goes as well then you will know what you should do after dinner. Bowling is for another day
First dates should always be cocktails. Forget the bowling and ice cream dude.
