Shooting some pool in a bar as a 4th date. Good or bad idea?

[White-American89]

A friend asked me for some dating advice.

[i1T2daty]

The main question is, how well can you shoot pool. If you’re an attractive woman, dressed to highlight your assets, you don’t need to shoot pool for attention, you’ll receive plenty one way or another.
There is something slinky and sexy about a woman who can handle a cue stick. if you’re simply not that good, it ruins a bit of the allure that can be created by doing little o draw attention to yourself-than spanking the reigning king of the slate.
Be cool, though, your actions will be all the more impressive if they don’t scream, “ look at me”. Most of all, know what the local etiquette and rules are. Most places a marker, often a quarter, indicates who plays next. You always play the last winner and beat him/her to gain that status. You hold it until you are beaten. Only play doubles if the current winner okays it and has a partner, always buy the winner (winning team) a round if they beat you. assuming your playing 8 ball- the usual bar game as opposed to 9 ball, usual pool hall game. Assume you must call every shot, including caroms & neutral balls. Whomever sinks the 1st ball has that “suit” (striped/solids). Any scratch ( missed 3 cushions + every ball, ball sunk that wasn’t called or wrong object ball sunk) loses your turn & allows your opponent to place cue ball anywhere behind “beak” line ( inside axis made by holding cue 90 degrees over line cue ball was behind during 1st break. If you sink 8 ball on break you win, any other time before all your other balls have been sunk AND you’ve called shot that sunk 8 ball.
Classisms playing by those rules even if house rules are more lenient.

[Jamie05rhs]

I never call shots. I think that's being too rigid.

It can best or worst thing for yea... but it really comes down to your woman and her opinions about Pool. Its not a bad idea but my friend I have seen some guys mess it up cuz her lady decided to put up with it instead of "enjoying it"
on the bright side you can evaluate her behaviour under the stress conditions... cuz the fake attitudes ladies use for dates will be challenged and you will some intel about the reality.
I would advice you...
a) beat her at it... if you think She can take it !
b) try to be Noob so that She won't feel bad about her self... some chicks even like.

[MotionlessStorm]

I mean, I'm not fully understanding if this is meant to be innuendo or not lol.
My current boyfriend took me to play pool on our first date and we had an amazing time. Best first date of my life. I'd never played pool before so he thought that it would be a good way to break the ice. For one, it's a great excuse to get closer physically without being creepy (depending on how you do it of course) and you're also doing an activity so you have more to talk about without so much awkwardness. Dinner is great and all but you're just sitting and talking whilst eating.

[GraveDoll]

It actually sounds fun and I would go for a 4th date. I suck at pool but it always nice to have the guy behind me fixing my form... pool great.

Tell him to just make sure it a decent place. And have fun. Be a nice way to see how she lets her hair down.

[OlderAndWiser]

I think it depends on the girl, her interest in pool, your interest in the girl, and the nature of the bar. If it was this redhead, I can think of things to do with her that would be far more fun than playing pool.

[Jean-Marie_Céline]

If she likes the idea, why not?
I'm more partial to betting card games myself.

[GoodatBad]

That alone, to me, doesn't constitute a date - it's an activity on the date but bigger picture you're going to a bar for drinks and play some pool so is the bar upmarket and sophisticated or a grimy biker bar? Will you eat when you're there and if so will you eat a meal together or just bar snacks while playing?

I think pool is a good activity as it breaks down barriers and allows people to be vulnerable and trust the other person to not be a dick about it. Girls are worried they suck at pool guys are worried that a girl is gonna beat them - overall it's a good thing but just don't take it seriously.

Pool is also a classic activity that has some great opportunities for guys to be "distracted" by their date and for girls to do plenty of distracting ;)

[toddthemod]

Pool is a great date.
Allows conversation
But also diverts attention at times so not self conscious
Allows sneak peaks as to physical attraction
When a good shot allows for compliments
Or a bad shot allows for self deprecation
Better than a movie I'd say.
Movies are a 3rd or 4th date... lol

[White-American89]

Pulling the popcorn trick might not go well on a first date at the movies

[toddthemod]

No but at her house for Netflix
Marvelous!

[Red-Blaze]

I am starting to get the feeling this topics are just an excuse to post sexy photos

Any how sure good idea as long as you keep your head on the date not on the game
Its a good way to talk from turn to turn and open others to take there time to answer while you take aim (and taking time to listen and calculate)

[Justacatlady]

What kinda of woman takes off her panties to use as a hair tie?

[White-American89]

A competitive one. One dedicated to her sport.

[Justacatlady]

Of being a sloot

[White-American89]

As long as they are clean with no skid marks it's cool.

[Justacatlady]

🤨. 🤮

[GuidoThePizzaMaker]

Those gifs will be far from reality
Its not a bad idea, but if the girl hasn't played before she will lose interest quickly. Its better to go bowling

[White-American89]

Same story with bowling if she sucks she loses intrest

[GuidoThePizzaMaker]

But you can put bumpers and she can actually knock some pins down

Pool is much more difficult

[Jamie05rhs]

Pool isn't that hard of a game.

[GuidoThePizzaMaker]

@Jamie05rhs I took a girl on a pool date and she was absolutely retarded. No matter how cute i tried to be, by getting behind her and guiding her she couldnt hit anything. Eventually she got frustrated, laughed it off.

We ended up going bowling and she was way happier haha

[Jamie05rhs]

Well, apparently she just didn't have any skills at playing pool. That's okay.

[GuidoThePizzaMaker]

@Jamie05rhs I have a really short temper for incompetence. It actually turned me off.
I am just nuts and realize that.

[Jamie05rhs]

Aww. Come on. We don't choose women for their pool-playing skills.

[GuidoThePizzaMaker]

@Jamie05rhs Haha to be honest, she incompetent at everything.
but that is very true.
If she would have been competent with other things I might have found her attractive.

[Jamie05rhs]

Okay. Well, sorry it didn't work out for you two.

[AuroraRoseat]

As long as you have something more interesting planned for her. I'm cool with a single game but all night bores me (and honestly, I stop caring half way through).

[purplepoppy]

I can think of better things

[vald9inches]

i have the perfect stick too lol 😂

[Passinggas]

Who is going to pay for the table? What if she wants to split the cost?

[White-American89]

Sexy that's why you Jack off alone on a Friday night using your salty years as lube as you crygasm😭

[Passinggas]

Yeah right fella

[someginger]

Yeah I would enjoy that, maybe not with the last girl! She's hot but I can't be with a women who can do Massa shot it would make me feel so bad about myself

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes shooting pool in bar is great for date i would only eat food and drink pop ( soda)
i can't drink booze. Also i don't want date a bar fly either i want decent woman.

[SentientBrick]

I have nothing to say because I finally got invited to a reasonable question. I will still leave you with a strange picture though

[SarahsSummer]

I think its a great idea. As long as you aren't expecting her to sprawl out on the felt.

[smg99]

Not very fun but it can get seductive with eye contact and interactivity with your date, should you want to emulate old Hollywood godfathers.

[Sadly_it_Grew_Back]

Why not? If you both like to play pool, then go for it. At worst, at least you can have a couple of drinks in the bar.

[Vesta]

How's that one where he shoots between her legs even possible?

[White-American89]

I know. The balls going between her legs would be mine

[Massageman]

It would depend on the type of "bar" . A place such as a "Fox and Hound" type would probably be OK.
At least if she needs to be taught , and you (or your friend) is halfway decent, it would be a nice excuse to put your arms around her ;- )

[Jjpayne]

Why not? It sounds fun. I'd just try to make it as nice or classly a bar as possible

[hahahmm]

If she acted like the women in the pics you would not even be counting dates. Hell, if she is even really into you you wouldn’t.
