what ideas do you like for a first date?
I took a man to a masquerade. We took a short Cruise to an old castle where they had a Masquerade dress code while touring the castle. I wore a red Gown and a mask. The man was smitten afterwards or so I thought but No first kiss ☹️. Even after a weekend long date. I couldn't figure out if he was into me. We'd sit very close to each others laugh have a grand time but no hand holding no attempted caresses and no real kiss. He gave me a peck once near the lips before getting on his train. I started seeing other guys. We eventually just stop texting. 5 years later after I went steady with someone one else he send me an angry message that I was the one girl He loved but I broke his heart and went with someone else. How could I after so many weekends dates. Took me by surprise because the man never made a move to kiss me much less touch me other than a greeting or goodbye hug even though every time he came by he spend to night at my place. confusing to me even more was until that message he never once called our outtings a date. It was always hey you want to hang out or hey you want to meet up. How was I supposed to know he saw me as anything more than a friend. He was a fool because out of all the men I dated he was the one I wanted the most...
wow that sucks.. i guess he was just oblivious about touching you or kissing you etiquette perhaps..
He should have said something. Damn I sent him some foxy pics (not nude but intimate) to which he always replied beautiful... But damn if thats not obvious that I would want to at least have my hand held I dont know what is
Regardless that first date was sexy fun and I know it stood out to him.
sounds like a night to remember lol. did you use any of those masks in your profile that night?
☹️ but damn no kiss! And I had know him since college so it wouldn't have been weird to try for a kiss on the first date. I had waited a long time for that damn date! Lol when a girl gets all dressed up like a Victorian heiress (damn that corset was tight) the least the man should do is kiss her hand goodnight!
Not those but similar
well if it were me i woulda definitely tried to make your night ;)
I would hope most men wouldn't make a mistake like that. I felt terrible 😔 later to find out I broke his heart but by then I was married... Sadly he was my youth crush. The one I had fantasized about marrying but again he knew me so many years and never let me know until it was too late
sadness :(
*hugs*
Im over it sadly I think that did something to him ran into him a year ago while I was filing for a divorce I thought we were hitting off then I started to see odd behavior drinking and stuff then he tried to put me in a guilt called me a whore and insulted me for having kids... Man lost his mind oh well his lost again
oh wow. thats also sad too. maybe he's going through a midlife crisis.
I haven't tried contact him and I won't ever again he called my kids a mistake and that is unforgivable. Regardless of his nasty words I kept my cool I told him how I had felt and I let him know his insults were unacceptable I told him the biggest mistake he ever did was writing to me in such a way and it was his lost
yeesh. well i think you dodged a bullet there
Have no idea what he got himself into but drugs and drinking will screw up the best of people.
It's a real shame too a man tested as a genius was top of his class became a police officer and then a lawyer he was on his way to success if not had reached it already he went downhill and then had the audacity to blame me I don't care how badly somebody breaks your heart you don't turn towards drugs and drinking
feels like there had to be more than just drugs and drinking there for him to fall... like maybe something at work shook him or messed him up as a cop
True very true... He had mentioned someone dying who he was very close to but water under a bridge now
Ice skating is always fun for a first date, anything where hopefully you can talk a bit... done the whole food truck and walk in the park too. Somewhere public and yet quiet enough to talk and chat. Restaurants or movies are not that great. Movies, no talking and many restaurants are soo loud its hard to talk.
If I don't know him, then it has to be some thing safe, no car rides or whatever... but if we are friends first and decide to date. Then I can take him up the mountain in my SxS and see if he shits his pants, that is always fun when people freak out.
I'd say B.
When the woman who became my wife decided she wanted to hang out a little longer, we took her car and she just drove us around into the night. We did all the highways alongside the great lakes and it was simply beautiful - although at the time, I was also slighty worried she wanted to get somewhere quiet to make me disappear lol - she's quite particular and has some peculiar interests, so I was sweating a bit.
In the end, she just wanted to show me some beautiful views!
Mini golf, bowling, bar where you cam play pool and shoot darts. Something that allows you both to interact and tease each other with healthy competition

For me, it would depend on the person I'm with. For example, I'd love a gym date, walking through the park, or a picnic together. Or heck, go to an arcade or fair and have some fun!
Now if he's an homebody or introvert like me and I know him well enough before the date? Just a movie or some anime and order a pizza.
I like a good hike. There's plenty of relatively easy trails in my city. If it's a weekend, hit up a farmer's market at the end.
If you hit it off and want to sit down and talk more, find a coffee shop.
If I'm going on a long date, I'll do a hike, visit a shop or market, and then end at a coffee shop to talk.
Honestly, something completely original, I think the best thing a guy could do is take me on a date to do something I’ve never done before, maybe something I’ve never even heard of. But not something that costs a lot… Spending money doesn’t impress me. Originality does. Sorry I couldn’t be more specific. 😞
1) Walk in park (or even better exploring a new place)
2) A drive is cool but I think my anxiety on the first date can make the guy crash IF I'm anxious... :( :)
3) Mountain climbing
4) Anything exciting.
No need to sit and interview , I would have already spoken to the guy before I go on a date with him.
Science Museum, try all the hands on experiments.
And this would be very expensive for a first date, so he should be someone very special, but a zoo date, like feeding the penguins or something would be amazing.
In a Karoke! Not in restaurants cuz I don't wanna any encounter my Dad having a business meeting or my cousin on a date with his girlfriend. That date would become the interrogation Day. Or on a drive where I'm the driver!
museums are the bestthe worst is cinemasyoure meant to learn about eachother on a datenot sit in silenceif you do something else too thats fine but you can't just go to see a film
A park would be nice. And free, too. That would take away the awkwardness and bitterness that can come from trying to decide who pays for the date.
if you are younger, Sixflags, water parks. if older then just a nice walk in a park or out biking and I mean on a bicycle not a motor cycle.
I like the walk in the park so you can talk about interests and things you notice while you are there. There is no pressure in who is going to pay for what either.
This is a tough one for me in particular because I've got a back injury and am not keen on extended walking but would still want to do something more interesting.
I like art gallery or picnic idea. I used to find coffee dates slightly awkward because so many people would be working or studying and it made me feel like I shouldn’t be talking lol
I've never been on a date but going to the mall or going for a picnic sounds good to me.
A museum. I love museums. My wife and I went to them.
B sounds like a bad idea for a first date. All the rest are fine.
How about inviting them to try out your favourite sporting hobby?
Looking at your alternatives, that surely depends on where you live. In my town a bar, restaurant or small hike/walk would be the best choice.
Not everyone is into art as well.
A nice walk and talk. It's free and very informative.
Hiking, art gallery is nice, amusement park.
take her to a gloryhole
Picnic sounds pretty fun
