Have a date tonight, need ideas

Shaun @ Tru6 · 02-23-2005, 07:37 AM

OK, first date, met online, cute, successful, smart, 33, me 37.

Not much going on in Boston tonight (if there really ever is) and I don't want to just do the dinner thing, get coffee, etc. Some girls like being taken to NY, but not enough time, so that's out.

Any out-of-the-box ideas out there?

Is there anything in her online profile or in talking to her that would reveal her likes/dis-likes? This may give you some ideas.

I would not go overboard or over think the first meeting. Once in person either party may decide that no 'chemistry' is in the air. If you are planning a long evening with dininer it may turn into an eternity !! Leave your self an 'out' if things do not go well.

All I can say is "There's something about mary"

Don't take a loaded gun.

Hope it works out as well as your last online date.

Alcohol... lots of alcohol.

Shaun @ Tru6 · 02-23-2005, 08:03 AM

the Charles is frozen, so that's out.

I was thinking we could put a kill switch in the track car together, but not sure on that one.

Not much in the profile. Typically I like to go to the Children's Museum for tons of fun (if they don't like the CM, they are out) but it's closed.

Chemistry best happens when you are active, doing something. Rarely does it over dinner, although there was that one girl...

you cant rule out dinner! you just gotta find a fun dinner. i dont mean chuckEcheese or anything like that, and no knights jousting each other. i think dinner is ok, i mean the girl has to eat. and you can talk and learn over food. if it were san fran, i could help. but you are wayyyy over there. good luck! dont talk about tabs.

"met online, cute, successful, smart, 33, "

I wouldn't commit to anything lasting more than an hour until all that is verified! Depending on the actual attributes, activities could range from a quick dinner and good-bye at Taco Bell to something a bit more engaging.

Ice skating, miniature golf, batting cages etc.... Something where there's people around. You get see each other interact with strangers. That can tell a lot about an person.

You know, whether or not they are "shallow", IYKWIM.

In the past I'd usually do a lunch for a first meet. You both know it'll be over in an hour or two. Then there's no excuse making to get out of there.

i tried that once. batting cages actually. when i picked the girl up, she had on a itty bitty mini skirt and some dangerously high heels. that made me go to plan B, fast. turns out this girl is not athletic at all and plan A would have left me playing a game of "five on one". that said, shawn LINE UP TWO PLANS!

Dinner and a trip to the mall..Gals love to shop!!

Sows your "sensitive" side and provides insight into her tastes.

Richard is (of course) right.

I don't think it really matters, as long as it is conducive to the consumption of alcohol, right off the bat, as quickly as possible. Pre-pre-drinks before the pre-drinks.
