D@mn, that's pretty good. The whole B&N thing I could work with. It'll be an easy way to tell if the girl is a prude or not. It's silly but it does actually works. Once a girl had me slow dancing with her in the aisles of the electronics section with all the boom boxes tuned to the same smooth jazz station. I had no idea what she was doing but it was some mad, silly fun
I like the park/ice cream/pet store thing too. Again it has a bunch of chances for kino and it's inexpensive. Definitely memorable since it wasn't just dinner and a movie.
A very important point was to end up back at your place (especially if it's for dinner). Think about it, you start off in the grocery store with her pushing the cart following you around while you pretend to pick things to cook for dinner (of course you planned the menu in advance but she doesn't need to know that). She'll be dying to know what you're cooking for dinner but of course you don't tell her.
You end up back at your place and you tell her that she's going to help you cook dinner. You instruct her in what to do, cut up stuff and measure things (not that thing!). There's another perfect place for a bunch of kino!
The ideas are just flowing!!! D@mn good idea Soma!!!
Thanks, glad I could help. And yeah, the possibilities are endless. The whole barnes and noble date idea of mine actually came about, last year, when I took a girl for coffee and then went to the bookstore to buy a book and remembered reading A Light in the Attic when I was kid. Went to look for it and just started reading out loud. The date went so well that now I use it pretty often, though I've added some things and refined the "process" a bit, haha.
The idea of having the girl meet you at your house first was something I got from David D a couple years back. It's gold.
But yeah, as long as you're enjoying each others company, it really doesn't matter what you do. Personally, I like to put interesting twists on things so it stands out from dates she's been on with other guys.
Funny bit...
I once met a girl and ended up LJBF'ing her cause she would make a better pivot, since we got along so well and I knew we could be awesome friends. Our first time out I did the barnes and nobles thing with her. That was about a year ago, and since then we've become great friends. To this day she believes, on her own accord, that she is the ONLY girl I ever had that type of date with. She is so PROUD of that fact, haha, and anytime we're out together and I meet a girl, my friend/pivot will always tell the story to the new girl with enthusiasm and get all happy and giggly. It's almost as if she's trying to make the new girl jealous. Anyway, it automatically makes the girl I'm talking to 10x more interested in me but fvck...that makes it so I can't take that new girl on the barnes and nobles thing. haha. Oh well!
