I am concerned about your negativity.
I would like to hear of you getting plenty of strange in 2015 and there's a worry that all this hating could get in the way.

ummm... i was joking. what's "plenty of strange" mean?

 

[jonah]

I think museum dates are awesome, but maybe a bit too much quiet and pressure?

I think a movie is the worst possible of all first dates.

"Hi, nice to meet you. Let's go sit in a dark room together for two hours."

But that is me.

Huh and here was me thinking a dark room was the ultimate goal of the whole endeavour

But presumably you have all evening and the movie is only a small part of that right? Maybe a coffee before and/or a pint after? It gives the whole thing a focal point and if it all goes terribly at least you've seen a flick so it wasn't a total waste.

I guess it depends on your personality. Holding a 3 hour conversation with a relative stranger would be pretty trying for me. Also I love the cinema so, you know, start as you mean to go on.

I'd be with Pete, do something - even something wacky. But each to their own. Some people like to find out everything about the other person almost straight away. I'd be more the type who just wants to know can they have a good time with the other person first and fill in the blanks a bit more gradually.

At the risk of sounding like a spa, maybe more a 2nd or 3rd date?

I like movies too much to have them ruined by a date

Haha, that's another way of looking at it I suppose

 

[Squiggle]

I like daytime dates for a first date. A nice long walk or a visit to the zoo or a museum... lunch somewhere. Less pressure and more enjoyable.

 

[hermie]

Anyone actually been on a date to the zoo? Did it go well? Could work

I was at a wedding there once, that was pretty cool.

 

[pete]

Never been on a date in me life.

 

[Cormcolash]

@Gambra JUST SHOW HER THIS THREAD

 

[Cormcolash]

I mean HIM

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Uh-oh. Someone just got called gay, on the internet!

 

[Gambra]

The Zoo? Go do something anyway.

See I would agree with doing something like that but this is a Tinder date so I've never met them in person before. Not going to arrange something where we're stuck together all day in that case.

you kids and your tinders and your readily available sex and your STIs

(according to the doctor on the last word anyway)

Best first date I ever had involved a disposable camera. Technology has ruined everything. I usually need a drink to go on a date, otherwise I won't talk. I'm shy like that though.

How is being a shy publican working out for you?

I'm working it out. I have my fantastic memory working for me, so I know names and drinks already. Once I have a stock of info, it's easier to talk. Plus, sometimes accept/sneak a drink. Ya know, so they don't feel like they are being poisoned.
