Had a semi-blind date tonight. Friend of a friend Ive talked to her on facebook or texts. But never met her. We met up for a drink. And **** it was like pulling nails to get her to talk. I assume shes just shy in person and hopefully she will loosen up. But in general first dates absolutely suck...
That's why I always skip straight to the second date.
can you touch poonany on second date?
Ahaha let me in on your secret how to get past that first date. I usually dont go for drinks, and I dont think I will be doing that again.;..Quote:

I've had people tell me when I've done the first date thing that I am very easy to talk to and hang with so if I do encounter someone on a first date that I can't get to talk then I cut my losses and don't go out again or I'll be very honest with them.
I do need someone that I can carry on a conversation with. She need not be a rhodes scholar but some ability to handle some conversational topics other than the hot list of TMZ or Entertainment tonight is required.
Ahah thanks guys.
And Nate I cant agree with you more. Im going to give it one last shot and if its pulling teeth again trying to get her to loosen up. I think once she does open up it will be good, as she is going through university so she should have some kind of knowledge...
You'd be surprised.Quote:

(i'm colourblind so i can throw that in too)... keeps it more fun.. get to see what they're really like.. not some "interview"... and if it goes good.. then go grab a drink.
I usually have no problems on first dates accept once.
Me..You did say you are active, I work out at the gym regularly. What do you do?
Him..I have no use for those people, been there-done that.
It's not the conversation thing I can't get past..it's silly things like he's to hairy or he is as round as I am tall. LOL
Good luck
How are you attempting to tell me I am stupid?Quote:

Same here. Makes it a lot less awkward, less pressure. The fact that you're only out to have fun with friends makes it a lot easier to create a bond with a girl you're interested in. Just easier to build comfort and rapport between the two of you compared to a date where it's just you in her and the main goal is to determine if you're boyfriend/girlfriend material.Quote:
