Where to go on a date?
| Sat, 11-19-2005 - 7:45pm |
I've started talking to several men from match, and a few of them actually want to meet me. Only problem is, they say they want to take me out for dinner, but are making me pick the place. I feel very uncomfortable with this, because I think it's some sort of a test - i.e., they're wanting to see if I pick a too expensive restaurant, or even too cheap of one. Where do I suggest? I know it's annoying when someone says "I don't care," and one of them specifically said that he wasn't picky and that I should choose.


I would pick a coffee shop for the first meet. that way if it doesn't go well you have not invested alot of time being miserable. Or another thing I have done is suggested going for one (and I limit myself to one) drink at a local bar that also does a good lunch. That way if if goes well you can always stay and do lunch. If it goes poorly then you can always have other plans.......
now if you want to do a dinner meet and the guy wants you to pick then I would toss out a couple of options, a high price, middle, and low. Then make him decide what sounds good. Or I would say how about mexican food, (or italian or whatever) And then ask the guy what his favorite place for that type of food is...
I usually pick something that 'I' can afford and feel comfy. So, say a casual pub or local small restaurant. I don't choose fancy or pricey, just real comfort so that there is the ability to chat away. If it doesn't go well(like maybe bad table manners), I can say that I need to be home for my son at 10 p.m. and here's $20. Would you take care of the bill?
I have even done some as simple as Dunkin Donuts for a drink and donut, or McD's for a soda. On the second date(and they are paying), I would expect them to choose a place/situation that they can afford and are comfortable with.
Good luck.
