Nowadays my boyfriend and I just stay in. But sometimes we do go out when we're bored or we feel like breaking the routine. If I'm just getting to know someone, I'd def prefer going out.
I'm usually pretty active, so I'd love an unorthodox date like meeting up at the gym and working out together, or a run/jog through a park or a trail together. And when we finish, we can have a picnic lunch, or just grab a pizza.
Or if it's an evening date or we're just looking to keep it simple, maybe just meet up at my place, grab some food (burger, pizza, sandwich- something quick and simple), and watch a movie or tv together and talk.
I'm not really a fan of conventional, "Let's go eat out at a restaurant!" They're overpriced, crowded, especially on the weekends- so I sparingly do that with dates. Besides, why eat out when you can eat at home or pack your own food for cheap?
I usually take longer before doing anything, the 3 first dates are about getting to know how much we can actually stand each other and how much the positive balances out the negative in the other person. After that, if he’s ok and thinks I am, I start teasing increasingly and it evolves slowly. No one complained yet but I guess it varies from person to person.
@StingRayxoxo: Well, TBH, it could, but of she is The One, I'd be very patient, and of course definitely if there was a good reason she wanted to go slower. The advantage to going slower is that there is usually a stronger emotional connection and she is more comfortable. But I won't lie- that is terra incognito for me,
it depends. i'm usually against meeting at my place at the beginning, its an openned card game then... they see my financial level, my hobbies, my addiction to tidiness, and the bloody perfectly proportioned food in the fridge i put in small standardised boxes.. once i dated a psychologist, took her home, openned the fridge for wine, she just lookt at me sayin "OCD dude, right?" no, never again. let them be surprised by insanity years later!!
oh and if she's "bad crazy" i can't say "ok i have to go home now" cause holy fuck, i already am home.
I’d want to stay in, only if I really fw the person though. I think when you really vibe with someone it doesn’t matter where y’all are at because you both enjoy each other’s energy. We can stay inside and just sit and talk on the couch it really don’t matter lmao
Definitely go out. I love going to a nice and cozy place, doesn’t necessarily have to be a restaurant it can be some sort of lounge. If I really like a woman, which is the only reason why I’d be dating her in the first place, I’d want to reserve a spot at a nice restaurant.
I feel going out is good for the first couple of dates. Going out lets you do a lot more things than staying in. However, once you're comfortable with each other and have entered more of the relationship phase than just dating, then staying in becomes an option.
That which enhances your life and those around you. What you want to do and what is actually agreed upon will not only decide what's going on but how it will end up. Don't be afraid to be you. They weren't afraid to engage you.
ideally I would rather stay in and do an activity with someone whether it be playing a game, watching tv/a movie or just anything around the house. I personally hate spending money and staying in saves money but one activity I enjoy that's low cost is playing Billiards pool.
I would rather stay in because I'm shy and then we would have more privacy. Plus, I wouldn't want to be seen with him. Maybe we could watch a movie and have dinner.
On a first date, I would prefer to go out, just enjoy and have fun, later on when we're a bit more comfortable with each other I would prefer to stay in, cook food, relax and just talk or something...
The most important thing is doing something you both apreciate, good vibing and dressed properly, i don't really care if its inside or outside, tho in the winter i prefer inside, norway can be cooooold😅
