Dating : I have a promising date coming up… need sound advice?
I will be meeting a girl that I’ve hit off for a while in L.A. and will be staying there for a weekend. I don’t know the area very well and neither does she, and I’m starting to panic because hanging out with someone for a whole day is a long time- that’s a lot of hours. And if you don’t have enough stuff planned to fill those hours, the date will end up boring and she will lose interest. Plus, it’s not just one day, it’s THREE days. L.A. is huge, traffic will be a pain to get anywhere (like the beach). Aside from finding a place to eat and maybe go for a walk, I have no idea what I’m going to do… I’m worried I’ll be too busy trying to think of things to talk about- I HATE awkward silences.
I haven’t been there for a few years but the I love the beach (Huntington is my fav, there’s a cool hamburger place off the peir, they usually have stuff going on the weekends on the pier) it’s not that badly packed just need to stakeout a good place get there reasonably early, Disneyland (all day affair), so many amusement parks, shopping malls (people watch make some jokes). Research what’s going on for your time there, there’s always stuff to do. Ask her if she has anything she wants to do? Good luck!
Just act like you know where you’re going even if you don’t, make it up the whole way, if it’s boring or dumb pretend like you’re enjoying yourself, do what you want to do, don’t ask her what she wants to do, and you’ll be fine.
