I have a standard, unimaginative plan for a first date that is usually very successful.
First, I don't mind buying dinner for a lady on a first date. I don't believe that I have ever had a woman try to take advantage of me by getting a free meal in exchange for simply meeting me. Yes, it's possible that a woman COULD do that, but it has never happened to me.
Second, people my age are accustomed to having a dinner date as a first date. We can - and occasionally do - engage in some other activity for a first date, but a dinner date is an established standard.
So I have a restaurant selected which is very nice but not over-the-top. I ask her to meet me for dinner at 7 pm. We meet, have a leisurely meal, and I am making assessments of how she is conducting herself, her level of intellgence, her sense of humor, etc. If I think I don't want a second date, we finish the meal, I walk her to her car, and we say goodbye. Probably 1½-2 hours maximum.
If I am developing some interest in her and I sense that the feeling is mutual, I tell her that I am enjoying myself and that I am not ready to end the date, and I then invite her to have an after dinner drink with me. The restaurant I have selected has a lounge to which we can adjourn, or we can walk about 50 yards across the street to another very nice restaurant which also has a lounge and we can have a drink there. I like going to the restaurant across the street because it gives me an opportunity to hold her hand as we are walking. If we have a drink (or two,) then the first date may last 3-3½ hours.
@musicbrain5 If she doesn't drink alcohol, then we just sit and talk after dinner. If I am driving, my limit is one mixed drink for the evening, and only f I will have at least an hour after drinking before I will be driving.
One hour to 90 minutes, tops. It should also be nothing that would cost a lot of money, so that the guy isn't simping to some chick looking for a Foodie Call, and the girl isn't obligated to possibly spend a lot of money at a fancy restaurant (if she has integrity and the guy picked the place they go to.) A first date should always be low-effort, chill, and nowhere more than $10, if even that much. No expectations but that the date shows up and has a decent enough attitude.
This old man simp sh*t where a guy has to ask a woman out to a five star restaurant and bribe her into liking him by spending all his money on someone he just met, is pathetic to me! And even if that was something he's happy to do, too many women nowadays don't deserve such treatment and aren't ladies worth spending $100+ on.
Pick your balls up off the floor and put them back in your scrotum, you fools! Stop trying to bribe your way into her panties! Chad and Tyrone don't spend a dime on ladies; why are you? If she can't like you for free; she either belongs to the street or you suck so badly, you have nothing else to offer a woman but your money.
Side rant aside, a first date should last no more than 90 minutes, not counting travel time.
I'd say shorter is better. That's why coffee dates are a good start. You can find out a lot about a person in an hour or so. The point is to discover if you can tolerate them, and to have an easy exit. If it goes sour, 'you don't have to be stuck on a bad date. If it goes well, there's a next time to plan a longer date with a person who appears to have potential.
1-2 hours? I used to like to do something fun and active, it prevents things from stalling. Going for a bike ride and eating in a small café. It makes it easy for each person to get what they want without worrying about splitting bills. The bike ride builds a bond by doing something together. Keeps it light.
Just depends on the chemistry and connection with each other , If I date a girl that I have a lot in common with and we are enjoying each others Company then time isn’t even an issue , If the fire is there keep it lit why put it out? You know you have great chemistry and connection with someone when you both don’t want the night to end is the way I look at it. If her and I are hitting it off big time then why end it? Would you like to come back to my place? Pretty much means I want to fuck your brains out
Not more than 2 hours especially if you feel you aren’t clicking. If you both feel something there, then it can go on as long as you want, even into the next morning if that’s your thing, lol. I don’t think it necessarily depends on the location or the activity. I don’t, however, recommend movies for a first date.
Well, long enough for me to get her back to my home, in the bedroom, strip her naked, lick her whole body, plus eating her pussy, and then fucking her for 30 minutes. (her orgasm first) 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Honest answer, going someplace nice to eat, and maybe a walk on the beach, or, at Christmas, going to the Light show in Newport Beach. That would be a long date.
I always preferred a cafe or pub. Quick drink, easy to slip away from if didn't go well. I had one first date that started with a coffee, went on to be cinema and dinner, all in about 10 hours. It was lots of fun. Had another where after 2 cups of tea I knew it was going nowhere so bailed after an hour
It depends on what's on the agenda and how much fun you're having together. You can have an argument in the car on the way to the first event and end the date there. You can have a great time with each other and stay out late because you don't want it to end
I would never go to a theme park on a first date. What if you dislike each other? A first date should be a simple get-to-know you meeting that either can exit in short order if you do not click at all. Then if you do enjoy each other, you can expand it to a longer date.
Go for a coffee or a quick drink, if you like the person and things going well. Get another drink, if not drink the drink quickly then go. Then if things did go well, go for a second date like a drink but a walk also added in. Then a meal third date something longer lasting
It depends on what it is. I saw a couple whose first date was at Disney World, that date will be most of the day, from when the park opens to roughly when it closes.
