OK, so you’re going on a first date with either someone you met or someone you’re being set up with and you need to come up with a plan. Usually, women say that they don’t care what you do as long as they get to know you and they have a good time.
Don’t get fooled by that though. You should always try to do something impressive to win her over. Keep in mind that impressive doesn’t mean expensive – just taking her to something she hasn’t experienced yet is a great start.
Some people like to meet for drinks while others go for more casual coffee or maybe sitting on a park bench and just talking. Surprisingly, some guys opt to have dinner on a first date, which isn’t necessarily the right move.
There are a few different reasons for this. The most important being the fact that you either don’t know the person at all yet, or know little about them. Having dinner forces you two to talk to each other for an extended period of time, and you’re not going to find that enjoyable if there isn’t much of a connection. Casual first dates don’t put pressure on this, as it may just be fifteen or thirty minutes.
On some occasions, people may think that dinner leads to certain expectations at the end of the night. This of course, can create a rather unpleasant and awkward ending to your first date.
The more relaxed an atmosphere you can have for your first date, the more likely you will have fun. You never know how it will turn out so it is best to make it as relaxed and causal as possible.
Also, taking someone out for dinner is quite costly in comparison to going to a bar or caf, or even sitting in the park. The simple fact is that the first date is about trying to see if you are right for each other, not spending lots or money.
Why bother spending more on dinner if you don’t even know yet if the other person is worth it. You’re also doing him or her a favor if he or she feels uncomfortable and doesn’t want to spend an extended period of time sitting there and hoping to be somewhere else.
