First date advice: plan ahead!

Posted on 08. Aug, 2007 by Michael in Dating Tips

first dateHere’s some first date advice: always, always, always have the date planned out. One of the biggest complaints I hear from girls about bad first dates is that the guy doesn’t have anything planned out.

According to my friend Lindsey, “When a guy picks up a girl for their first date, he should always have a restaurant picked out and an activity planned for after dinner. If he doesn’t have these things already planned, he comes off as the type of guy who can’t take charge. A lot of girls find that unattractive.”

Heed her advice guys. Pick out a good restaurant and a fun activity that’s conducive to conversation - not a movie (unless it’s back at her apartment)! And don’t forget, always have two backup restaurants and activities planned in case she doesn’t like your first choice.

    advice to some out there….
    i plan a lot of stuff out… but never really happens.
    my recommendation is that you simply plan dinner and activities. nothing else. dont plan what you will order or what you will say to her. dont dream about what will happen because it could turn out a disaster….
    or i just have bad luck…

    The key is to have a generic plan, like you said. Don’t worry about the details. Have a general plan but be willing to be flexible.
