Search Results: getting to know someone

For this, what I mean is would you rather go on a date to a fancy dinner place or a more casual activity?

One I'd most want to do is cooking dinner together at a place. Fancy restaurants are awkward with the sitting across and whispering, no laughing or telling strange stories, it's the opposite of my idea of a good time.

Getting to know someone shouldn't feel like a job interview. For me to get anywhere with someone, the dresses need to come off, pun intended. I'd want to cook a meal with her, get to know eachother as we do, be all playful and silly, get past the edge and all that in a fun way, not staring across from a table and whispering at eachother.

I find it kinda hilarious, a room full of people in suits and dresses, whispering at eachother as if we can't all hear eachother, anyways... And let's not even discuss wine prices in restaurants. Rule of thumb, if the bottle is sold in the restaurant, you're almost certainly paying 5× retail price for the wine.

Would you rather have a more formal date with strict social boundaries or one that's loose and more personal?
