Would you rather stay in or go out for a date?

Question

haven't dated yet but i guess i'd like a mix of both

Louis-1 · Accepted Answer

depends, staying in is usually reserved for a third or maybe second date I think, you might want to get to know someone with a first date in a public venue before going to their home or letting them in yours

but I will say that cooking something together, and especially doing the dishes believe it or not, is far more fun than sitting across a table from eachother, "accidentally" pushing a freshly dried of mug back into the water can turn into some fun teasing, and you immediatly know the kind of person you are dealing with

you wil not have any problems getting guys, the trick for you wil be to cut trough the bullshit and find one that actually cares

As someone who eats out because of my job, I tend to be a homebody and avoid going out. Also, Covid keeps me at home a lot. When I am seeing a lady for the first few times we go out because I generally don't want her in my home or for that matter know where I live. If I see I am comfortable with her I generally cook for her and we enjoy our time together. I spent a good bit of money stocking my pantry for this upcoming weekend because I am not going to Europe because of Covid. I have a lady that will be here tomorrow morning and will stay through Monday!

For a DATE date, I would rather go out. So we can spend time together, getting to know each other, and nobody has to cook, or clean up, etc... And for us girls, we get that safety of being in public until we know you better.

Now that we're committed, I like both. I still like to go out, dinner, movies, go places. But I also like staying in, grilling, having friends over, etc...

I think you have the right idea "a mix of both"! Going out is nice once in a while, but stay home dates are so much more relaxing. No getting dressed up, just stay in comfy clothes or no clothes, your in the comfort of your own home and it doesn't cost gobs of money

OlderAndWiser · Answer

I prefer going out for dates as it is more exciting, more of a change of scenery, and allows me to get to know my date in another context. For a single girl, having a guy to your place is okay if there are other people in your home or if you know and trust the gut, but if you live alone and don't know the guy very well, going out is a "safer" date.

TheorionMage · Answer

Going out builds a history of 'shared experience' each discovering 'together'
...'staying in' DEMANDS a degree of possibly uncomfortable 'intimacy' and
a latent paranoia of being 'judged' & thought of "in comparison with... and to..."
Relational chess-like 'gamesmanship'.

Canuck37 · Answer

If I was your age? Go out for sure. You probably live with your parents or at least other people, and you don't need to include any of those people on your date. Get some peace and quiet by yourselves (although with you being a girl, you should definitely stay in a crowd on your first few dates with a boy).

At my age? Stay in. I don't have the energy to go out. I live with my wife, so we're already alone by ourselves. Life is perfect at home.

ArchivalMars2 · Answer

I prefer going out, if I'm not at work or out with friends I'm at home doing personal work/hobbies that I enjoy which can be several days out of the week maybe more. So in the end, I prefer going out for dates though I'm not opposed to indoors so long as it's something fun and entertaining.

Aethereal · Answer

I'm not outgoing at all. I'm happy staying home all day. But if it were a date, I'd prefer to take her out. It'll be nice to eat out, walk in the park a bit. It's an excuse to dress up a bit fancier too. Plus I don't have to cook and wash dishes after :D

mobiusforniner · Answer

Interesting poll results. Obviously women are looking for a fun or exciting outing- an experience for both to share and enjoy. While men, or "boys" these days; quite obviously have little to offer other than hang out indoors. C'mon guys. Want to know why women don't come to you? Because most of you ain't creative or imaginative or can't think beyond the peckerhead in your pants.

TheBigGuy9 · Answer

Either or. It doesn’t matter. Usually I go out a few times when we first meet for obvious reasons.
Later on, I’ll cook for her at home.

On the flip side, it’s fun to go to the store together and shop for ingredients to get and cook your meal together.

whosnumber1 · Answer

it all depends on the girl I guess. I am a pretty good cook so I have cooked for a date before and that went extremely well for me. 👌👈

but I also love great restaurants and surprising my date as well. I guess it just depends on the person and how I'm feeling. being comfortable and confident is the key to success on a date.

Aerissa_Jade · Answer

Depends on relationship stage, early on I love to go out lots. As we grow closer, staying in can be quiet fun, cuddle and watch a movie at home. More private and intimate times together.

DannyUk2017 · Answer

Rather stay in and sext as much as possible... don't want to go out and to find people giving me the "stare" that i don't wear my mask, or try to fart to "mask" a cough, etc... would just mess up my date...

Adam1978 · Answer

First dates should be go out. After that I am fine with either. I hardly would call the stay in as dates thought. It's just time spent together. Which is the important part.

AviatorTom · Answer

At your age, staying in is a good start to dating. Maybe watch a movie on TV or play video or board games. When you get a little older, going out to lunch and a movie at the cinema is a good date.

Seangreen · Answer

aussieguy19 · Answer

Preferably go out. Go to a beach, just chill watching the sunset whilst eating some fish and chips, and getting swarmed by the beach chickens

dragoblack · Answer

Unless the guy is a horrible cook, it is a great way to spend intimate time together making a meal and means a lot more than going out to eat. Plus in the time we are in, where everything is becoming more expensive, it's easier on the wallet.
