I have a date with a guy this weekend. But he asked me to choose the place. Where should I choose? Any suggestions?

[twinson]

We've been messaging with this guy for a few days and he told me that he wants to take me out this weekend. But he wants me to choose the place. What kind of place would you suggest me to choose? I mean, more stylish or a shabby place? Which one is more suitable for a first date?

[quaranta]

A place that allows talking, so a relatively quiet place, not too busy, and where tables are not too close to the reception, so maybe having some tables outside. It's a date so you need to talk privately to get to know each other, not just appreciate your looks. You might go for a slow food place so that you eat calmly and have a lot of time to conversate. (Slow food usually implies good quality food, prepared on the moment).
But anyway this is me, because I would put a lot of importance on getting to know him the most I can before deciding any other step. While if you're more for casual adventures you don't need this, and can go for something fun or even a movie, that don't allow much time to talk but is oriented to laugh and get comfortable around each other.
Either way, if you go to eat something, I would choose a place that kind of reflects my personality but I think you should take in consideration the person he is, too. (If he is a down to Earth man you don't take him to a nouvelle cuisine restaurant offering artistic food design with small portions, I guess - and if he looks elegant and cares about appearance you don't take him to Starbucks either).

A place where you can be both comfortable (based on your conversations). Where you can talk without yelling at each other. Somewhere quiet but chill. And have some good food. Doesn’t have to be pricey. What counts is being together and enjoying each others company

[nitsuj86]

Weird, but he might just want to make sure he is taking you some place that you will enjoy.

I would say think of a place you have been wanting to go. Dinner, an art gallery, new bar, some place that you are able to talk to each other, but an activity is always a nice buffer and conversation starter. Top golf, bowling, mini golf, something fun.

I'd also try and pick something not crazy expensive. You never know, he could be the go dutch type. So you could have to break out the wallet.

[MrOracle]

Where would you choose if YOU were paying? That would be a good starting point. He's not expecting McDonald's, but he's also not expecting $100 per plate either. Keep it under $50 per plate (unless he's obviously wealthy and routinely spends much more) and you should be fine.

Excellent answer

[Guy13]

That’s not good. Afraid to lead, fail, and/or be criticized for bad choice or decision. Too sensitive with too much baggage 🧳 for me already 🚩 🚩🚩

[coachTanthony]

I always go for finger foods and dive bars with a good juke box for a first date.

[Changiis07]

Like a nice dinner or coffee date is good for a first date that way you can talk more

[WanderingLoveWizard]

Good on you for even agreeing to choose the place. Every time I ask a girl where she wants to go she says "Wherever you wanna go" and that's all I get 🤦‍♂️

[Wraith_Cemetery]

Can't stand those kinds of girls.

[WanderingLoveWizard]

Me too...

[Keishio]

Choose an activity. If it were me picking a date it'd be something like meet up for a couple of drinks first and then maybe an escape room, crazy golf, even done axe throwing which was a great laugh and if everything's going well then just hang out, maybe grab some food or go out for a few more drinks

[Keishio]

I'd not go straight to a restaurant for a first date. Just like a movie is a bad idea because you can't talk, a restaurant could be a bad idea because all you get to do is talk and if there's not a lot going on the conversation can struggle. At least of you're doing something fun you can get a feel for someone's humour and there's less pressure so people are more natural

[LittleSally]

I would say do NOT go for a place where you would usually go.

Go somewhere neutral, but, honestly, I would say just a walk and a conversation is the perfect first date.

[Jdjfjcjj]

Ah he already fucked up. He don't tell you to pick whether to go. He taking you out. He should man the fuck up and pick a place himself.

Have fun carrying his balls in your purse

[Anonymous]

Somewhere you know you like perhaps but also with a nice and relaxing atmosphere I'd say. I don't think you want the middle ground of style to shabby. You want somewhere with a good relaxing atmosphere, so you can get to know each other better with less pressure

[spartan55]

Does he know there will be a third wheel going with you on the date?
Whomever asks for the date chooses the place. This dude should be doing that.

[TacosRAwesome]

Is there a place you've been wanting to try but never had the opportunity to? Or else a place you know is good.

[Anonymous]

Choose a place you would go. You don’t want to go to a place where you don’t feel comfortable at. I wear ball caps and hoodies a lot, so if I went somewhere that I couldn’t wear that, I’d feel hella uncomfortable.

[Shy_Steve]

Where you feel relaxed and yourself.

It's not going to really matter to him unless he has to pay more or something.

[marish01]

Are you going to split the bill? If yes then you are entitled to choose a fancy restaurant.

[JesseP1nk]

He wanna take you out but wants you to choose the place... WTF?

[megabamse]

Go to Iceland together

[RockyHammock]

Watchu got planned for the second date lmao?

[megabamse]

Deep sea diving mohaha

[UncleBilll]

Pick a great hotel with lots of privacy

[Jamie05rhs]

What kind of food do you like?

[Alex8736]

[jimmy2]

Where ever you really want to go
