Going on 1st date in 13 years. How have the rules changed? - Page 3

chris · 10:17 AM

Recently divorced.

Been to numerous lunch dates. Lunch dates are safe, cause in a hour you go back to work. Didn't like any of them anyway.

This new woman may be different. We've spent 10-20 hours on the phone and I'm going to Vegas to meet her where she is attending a trade show.

I have tickets to a show. Plus we'll go somewhere to dinner. I would prefer not a buffet.

SOOOOOOOOO, what has changed?

Small bunch of flowers still acceptable?

Ladies, what is the cologne of choice?

What are the things to do, not do, say, not say??

thanks

Let her pay. Women are liberated these days, and like that sort of thing.

The nice guy thing sure hasn't been paying off with any sort of regularity, and as hard as it may be to believe, Bob Dole is a fairly nice guy when he's not posting here.

So as Bob Dole mulled over the reasons why being a nice guy might not be the best strategy, it suddenly came to Bob Dole.

If you translate "nice guy" to Pig Latin, it's ice-nay uy-GAY.

Yeah, start being even more of a prick than usual. Good plan!

I would go into it without a plan and let things develop. If you start thinking about "rules" and everything else, you're putting way more pressure on the situation.

Women liked to be spanked. Hard. Oh, and during oral, keep your hand on her head. They like that. Good luck.

stevieray · 01-13-2005, 08:08 AM

The roles are reversed.

You're the girl now.

MichaelH · 01-13-2005, 08:13 AM

I haven't dated since 1991. I've been with the same girl since then. I think I'd be lost if I had to be single again.

My advice is be yourself. If she doesn't like you the way you are, it won't work in the long run. Why waste the time?

**Fire Me Boy!** · 01-13-2005, 08:25 AM

Well, my plan has always been a little bad for other guys. My first date plans have always been to completely bowl them over, so that any first date before or after will be judged by mine... on our first date, my wife and I went to the stage production of Phantom of the Opera (she was a theater major with an emphasis in music) and three years later she still talks about it. I decided before the date that even if things didn't progress I wanted her to judge other guys' dinner and a movie dates lower...

wutamess · 01-13-2005, 08:52 AM

This one is easy:
YOU'RE meeting her in Vegas! Dude! relax and be yourself you're already in good, unless you showed her a fake pic of yourself or something like Queen Latifah in "Bringing Down the House".

**cdcox** · 01-13-2005, 09:06 AM

I had my one and only first date in 1979 and am still married to her. These techniques may not work for you, since I must be some kind of savant.

First, when you call her on the phone and she says she is busy for the time that you asked her out, act like you are going to hang up so she has to blurt out that she would like to go out with you another time.

Then when you go to the resturaunt make sure to order a salad even if she doesn't. That way you can smear french salad dressing on your glasses while you have her undivided attention.

Next, go to the wrong theatre to see the movie, and instead end up watching the last half of some other movie instead. This shows flexibility and spontinaity.

Limit physical contact. You can hold her hand, but wait until she practically grabs yours. In these modern times, a brief goodnight kiss is also okay as long as you eventually plan to marry her.

Good luck!

You're right... they don't expect it, and they like it.

Yeah, I'm probably believing that shit. Next you'll be telling us you carry a single rose in your back pocket for when you meet the next hogette at the bar.

WTF do you know about dating....weren't arranged marriages the deal back in your day?

1st date in 13 years? Congrats -- sounds like you got a better chance of getting laid than I do with the Mrs.

you prick, you're upsetting the entire effort date continuum!

I'm glad your off the market and not ruining women for other guys anymore.

BTW just a tip, victoria's secret sells a cologne called "very sexy" for men... Women go nuts over it. I was *suckered* into buying it when it came out, and I've recieved so many compliments from all types of women. One time a girl actually tried to steal my shirt for the smell. And I'm ugly as sin so it wasn't my good looks that instigated such behavior.

As far as the dating rules go, I'm not your guy.

I know, I am a prick. I only ruined a couple other with big dates like that, so not to worry.

Jenny Gump · 01-13-2005, 09:40 AM

Flowers are a great touch. Don't go overboard, just a little something. As far as cologne, I love Hugo By Hugo Boss or Kenneth Cole's Reaction.

Treat her like a lady. You'll be fine. Good luck.
