grue 1 #1 June 29, 2005 Background: She's a smart, fun, gorgeous, classy college soccer player (just like me, without the smart, gorgeous, and classy parts!), and I've known her for a little under a year. I asked her today if she'd like to go out for dinner sometime, and she accepted. I'd like to not fuck this up, so I'm looking for suggestions Outback seems like the obvious choice, but most college students consider it kinda expensive, and I'd hate to over-do it.cavete terrae.

Dagny 0 #2 June 29, 2005 Comedy clubs are lots of fun, but you'll want time to talk so my vote is for Outback. I was all for the Italian joints until I thought....onions, garlic, red sauce....yeah, go for Outback. And, congrats on getting yourself a great opportunity. Don't blow it!

windcatcher 0 #3 June 29, 2005 What up Grue?!?!?! Congrats on the date, sorry for the thread hijack. I am going to have 2 AMAZING guys to jump with at the boogie this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Are you going to be there? If you don't have your A, I wonder if they'd let you do the rest of your training jumps out of the King Air??? Probably not...?

Why on Earth would you want to take her to an Outback Steakhouse, that's like taking her to Maccas, find a nice small resaurant near a theatre or cinema, and take her to a show or movieYou are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!

grue 1 #5 June 29, 2005 Looks like I won't make the boogie, jump-wise, I was going to jump tomorrow but it's gonna be hella windy it looks like. I doubt they'll let me do the rest of my jumps out of the king air, but c'est la vie. there's always next year!cavete terrae. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

heidihagen 0 #7 June 29, 2005 umm i'm with squeak on this one. if outback is her favorite, she needs a little more variety. to try something new! half of the fun is not knowing. i chose the last one... don't get me wrong, i like outback. i like those onion appetizers and the waiters wear flare. but maybe she meant favorite place to eat... after a game? it's just way to noisy for a first date imho.i didn't lose my mind, i sold it on ebay. .:need a container to fit 5'4", 110 lb. cypres ready & able to fit a 170 main (or slightly smaller):.[/ce Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeForsythe 0 #8 June 29, 2005 Just remember you only get one chance to make a first impression! Taking her to Outback will tell her that you care about what is important to her. It is a neutral place that you know she likes so that is always a win win situation. This will allow you to find out more about each other while not worrying about if she likes it or not or if she is comfortable. Words of wisdom for Mango Mike! Party on and stay safe! .Time and pressure will always show you who a person really is! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grue 1 #10 June 29, 2005 Quoteumm i'm with squeak on this one. if outback is her favorite, she needs a little more variety. plus, she probably just said that because of the accent thing or something. to try something new! half of the fun is not knowing. i chose the last one... p.s. don't get me wrong, i like outback. i like those onion things too maybe she meant favorite place to eat... after a game? it's just way to noisy for a first date imho. Well, she's young for one, and for two it's a small town, so there aren't a lot of fun, good places to eat. I'll see if I can't subtly snag a few ideas from her.cavete terrae.

Truth be told, the hardest part for me is getting 'em to go on the date, after that I generally do pretty well, until they realise I'm too damned nice and friend-zone me. Not gonna happen this time!

heidihagen 0 #17 June 29, 2005 Quoteso there aren't a lot of fun, good places to eat. I'll see if I can't subtly snag a few ideas from her. nah, but do have a plan since you asked her out. there's nothing worse than "where you wanna go?" "i dunno.. where you wannago?" repeat. repeat. repeat. ugh! go wherever your friend mentioned. you can talk while you look over the menu. if their menu has a m bunch of nasty stuff on it, you can just make fun of the menu. it will give you more to work with than going to the same old place where you probably already know what you want. you know, little things like that... it will be fun!i didn't lose my mind, i sold it on ebay. .:need a container to fit 5'4", 110 lb. cypres ready & able to fit a 170 main (or slightly smaller):.[/ce Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Salsa_John 0 #19 June 29, 2005 I would vote for the comedy club, if she like to laugh. then take her out for a walk in a safe park or an Ice cream "You did what?!?!" MUFF #3722, TDSM #72, Orfun #26, Nachos Rodriguez Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cocheese 0 #20 June 29, 2005 Dude, clean your place up and make her dinner there.Make several different things to eat so she finds something she likes for sure. Then ask if she wants to try to score a goal on you as you toss her the ball. She'll say " no i'm stuffed"and pass out. Then YOU go to the titty bar.

gmanpilot 0 #23 June 29, 2005 Take her to do some kind of fun outside activity that she can participate in like goofy golf, a bike ride, etc.. The activity will ease the jitters and you can talk too. Then take her to dinner._________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tigra 0 #25 June 29, 2005 NOT for a first date. Even if his intentions are good, the girl might get the wrong idea and get spooked. Take her to a place you like- nothing too fancy or expensive or loud or crowded, but also not too intimate or cavelike. Not for a first date, anyway.
