So, this girl I'm seeing and I are going out on a proper date this week, but I have no fuckin clue what we are doing. I told her "don't worry about it" as to not shatter her feelings of security and comfort. Dinner & Movie we've already done, so be creative (that goes for the trolls too). HALP

2/8/2011 12:46:31 AM

you should probably grab your laptop and take her to dh hill for a good ol tww date

2/8/2011 12:49:09 AM

ice skating is usually the way to go

2/8/2011 12:49:20 AM

oh btw i'm not in raleigh

2/8/2011 12:51:37 AM

segway tour

2/8/2011 12:52:41 AM

play some COD:BO and eat bagel bites

2/8/2011 12:54:51 AM

does she have a warcraft account?

2/8/2011 12:56:02 AM

Flowers, candles, home-cooked meals, a walk through a park or botanical gardens, a fancy meal out somewhere that you need reservations, a paddle boat ride (I think maybe pullen park has these), a trip to the planetarium (although maybe that is getting farther away from traditional)

bitches love video game conventions

2/8/2011 1:04:18 AM

where are you? museums? the zoo (on the weekend). brunch. ice skate. roller skate. bowling!!!!

2/8/2011 1:06:09 AM

what are you people 12? no seriously. these are good idea keep them coming

2/8/2011 1:07:30 AM

I always enjoyed those places where you get purchase naked pottery, paint it, then pick it up a couple of days after it is fired

2/8/2011 1:09:22 AM

MUSEUMS!

I'm a fan of driving somewhere and talking a lot. If you have any used bookstores that have $.10 books outside those are always good conversation starters.

Brewery tours are really neat too.

Wtf counts as a date these days?

2/8/2011 1:09:36 AM

ride a city bus

2/8/2011 1:11:29 AM

^^Brewery tours have worked out well for me so far.

2/8/2011 1:22:38 AM

and wine tours

2/8/2011 2:16:34 AM

go out of your normal way...I just went on a 12 year old like date with my gf...went to the park and played on the swings and stuff, she absolutely loved it. had a little picnic with lunchables and then to the dog park to play with the pups. She ate it up.

you gotta go different...she'll remember different.

it would help if i knew what city you were in. but base the date around the same general concept...if you go ice skating, go get ice cream. make sure you have plenty of chances to talk and carry on conversations. the place you go can help ALOT with that. art museums and walk thrus give you plenty of chance to say "what do you see?"

help ME help you...what city and what are some things she likes? what does she talk about all the time?

2/8/2011 2:27:47 AM

Part of the first date is supposed to find out enough about her to make a second date?

A proper lady never forgets her first back door experience.

2/8/2011 3:05:05 AM

no tomboys allowed lol

2/8/2011 3:11:05 AM

drive out to a very rural area and say put out or get out

2/8/2011 7:10:12 AM

Pull your pants down and start dancing to Motown Philly by Boyz 2 Men with your pants down. Add a meat spin so she'll never forget this date.

2/8/2011 7:19:52 AM

^i'd be impressed

Most of those would freak me out for a first (or second, or third) date, to be honest. The planetarium sounds cool though... but how would you have a chance to talk?


My personal suggestion is a trip to an arcade of some sort. Preferably with laser tag.

kadwackle had good suggestions, too roller skating would be fun.. and if she can't skate, bonus for you so you can hold hands and teach her and all that shit

Yeahh, candles and a home cooked meal are a little too romantic if you don't know her that well. How long have you guys been friends? You could go for a fun afternoon followed by dinner, if you wanna stay classy. Just make sure she laughs and has fun.

It would help if you actually told people where you are.

This works for SlaveFamous

2/8/2011 8:09:47 AM

Really? Shit, I mean I hadn't had to go on a first date in years and years and even I could come up with ideas on my own..

Coffee, sporting event (one that is easy to talk during), ice skating, bowling, etc... really, anything in a setting that is casual and easy to talk during will be fine.

What does the girl like? What does she enjoy doing? (I assume this was covered on said dinner date)

[Edited on February 8, 2011 at 8:11 AM. Reason : x]

2/8/2011 8:10:26 AM

Bowling
Ice Skating
Laser Tag

2/8/2011 8:46:32 AM

bitches love the park. and it won't cost you shit. I'd say don't make the date too long or elaborate if you don't have a good level of comfort with her already.

2/8/2011 8:50:18 AM

Museums! Brewery tours. Gardens/arboretums. Take her to antique shops with you!

2/8/2011 9:33:59 AM

QFT. Take a loaf of bread and feed the ducks. It gives you plenty of time to talk, move around a bit and make up names and shit for the ducks. If it's cold in whatever city you are in, go get some hot soup or chili or something afterward.

Also, motherfucking laser tag. If you and her form a team against the middle schoolers there I guarantee she'll remember it and have a fun time. If it's a place like Celebration Station or whatever they may have mini golf too.

2/8/2011 9:38:06 AM

god, it must suck for her to go out on a date with you if you have to get DATING advice from TWW

you know how many single people are here posting? me included

2/8/2011 9:41:59 AM

I wanna go ice skating

2/8/2011 9:42:30 AM

I wanna feed the ducks.

Playful dates are the best. Cheap and so much fun, and a great chance to get to know each other.

Also I can agree with

if you are the reading type. I never would have thought of that as a date activity, but it can be very fun.

Bagel Bites are a mistake. I prefer Ritz crackers with cream cheese and bacon bits.

2/8/2011 10:11:29 AM

I keep reading this as "TUB GIRLZ"

2/8/2011 10:12:35 AM

Turn down hobos asking for money together

It works for me.

2/8/2011 10:31:31 AM

Tell her you're going to see a movie or something boring. She'll be less than pleased, of course, but as you're approaching the theater, three men in suits (friends you've paid) exit a black car and start looking around. You quickly grab her and go hide in an alley, where you explain that these men are after you for what you know. You can't call the police; they're in on it. This conspiracy goes all the way to the top, baby. You also can't tell her the secret -- you've put her in too much danger already just by asking her out, but you couldn't help yourself. She was too beautiful.

They find you in the alley and you have to run. You get chased all over town -- the details are up to you, but ultimately you should end up trapped in a desperate battle on the roof of a building. "Knock out" two of the "thugs" with a piece of rebar, only to have the last one disarm you and push you over to the ledge, where he holds your head over the drop.

Him: "You see, Mr. Billybob66? We are above the law!"
You: "Not the law of gravity, bitch." You kick him over the edge. (It's OK, he's a BASE jumper who has been wearing a chute all day) You walk over to your date, who should have been tied up at some point, untie her, and kiss her passionately with the sun setting in the background.

I promise you, she will let you put it in her butt.

2/8/2011 11:08:48 AM

Oh God, no, please don't kill me. I'm not a spy. I'm nothing. I'm navel lint! I have to lie to women to get laid, and I don't score much. I got a little dick, it's pathetic!

2/8/2011 11:16:12 AM

i would take egyeyes out without asking TWW ... she already knows where our first date will take place.

2/8/2011 11:29:55 AM

PBs.

2/8/2011 11:30:54 AM

^^^^win.

2/8/2011 11:35:52 AM

I like to bowl so a bowling date is always fun. You could also go to one of the dance studios and take a shag lesson or something fun like that.

2/8/2011 12:08:37 PM

Asheville is the location for this date. I live in Johnson City, TN though. I like the arcade idea. Apparently there is a barcade (arcade with booze) in Asheville. I might take her there. I like the Planetarium idea too. She is a scientist. Also, karaoke crossed my mind....but that might be too awkward. Some good ideas ITT. Thanks

2/8/2011 2:52:51 PM

Also, I've known her for a while. We just decided to make things more serious recently and I said I wanted to take her out on a real date. So the "romantic" shit isn't a no-go unless its just too vomit inducing.

I'm sorry to hear that

anyways, a few months ago there was a special on the Travel Channel about the nicest McDonalds' in the world and of course the Asheville one was featured. they showed two teenagers going on their "first" date there, so you're welcome

Yeah, museums FTW. Girl who can't enjoy a museum with me gets thrown back.

Place like Asheville has plenty of more wide open sunny day kind of things to do. Last time I was there wanted to go for a lazy canoe ride w/ my girl but didn't have the time.

If you want to make sure she enjoys herself and can throw money at the problem, horseback riding. Moonlight ride for the touchdown.
