I asked out a girl I go to school with a couple days ago, and she said yes. tomorrow is the date, and well, this'll be my first date in a few years. (i haven't been looking/wanting to date until recently) I only have around an hour in-between classes, and it's gunna be a lunch date. any advice as to where to go, she has said a few times that she likes trader joes. grab something there and eat outside? or maybe some kind of fast food place?? Any advice or helpful experiences that you'd like to share would be great.

As soon as you're done let us know how it went in the "how long do you wait..." thread.

[RAILhead]

I'd just pack a lunch, pick her up, pretend that she was supposed to have made her own, too, then eat in front of her and talk like nothing's out of the ordinary.

Then go take a dump in her toilet.

[turtle777]

Oh, this should be fun

[brassplayersrock²]

turtle: I hope it'll be fun, we get along well in class, and I hope it'll be the same way if we decide to have more then one date

Oh , yes, that, too.
I was more thinking about this thread

Good luck though !

thanks turtle

[shinji]

Just skip class with her and get coffee, lunch, etc. Starbucks and/or a diner. It'll be fun. I definitely wouldn't go to Trader Joe's and eat in the parking lot, or make her eat McDonald's.

[sek929]

Skip class and do something.

[scaught]

MAKE her a pic-a-nic lunch. You don't even need to cook, a bunch of stuff to pick at is a good lunch. Cheeses. Crackers. Hommus. Olives. etc.

[shifuimam]

Chicks love it when you make (or bring) them food. Bring a lunch with variety - if you don't know whether or not she's vegetarian, kosher, etc, just play it safe and bring lots of different prepared things from Trader Joe's...like a veggie wrap, some kind of sandwich, a couple desserty items, some chips or fruit or something...

[paul w]

This is gay.

A proper date needs to include the possibility of, well, more. This is just "having lunch".

(Unless you work fast, then *high five*)

[shifuimam]

So think of it as a pre-date. There's less pressure for both people involved if it's not a formal date...

That sounds a bit improper to me.

Quoted for truth. Make an effort, for Pete's sake. Taking somebody to Trader Joe's does not say, 'hey I really dig you'.

You sure she knows its a date?
Lunch dates, esp as a first date, aren't too popular among anyone I know under 35 so for a college student to make one sounds odd.

Maybe she thinks its just a friendly lunch.

[brassplayersrock²]

i decided that i'll take her to a pad thai place that has a relaxed atmosphere with good music, and good food.

the pre-date thing is a good way of looking at it; and i've done the picnic thing before and it backfired due to the girl being allergic to something i packed and got hives; so if i do that (if there's a next "get together"), i'll be sure to ask her of any allergies.

side note: if i'm late to the next class, then i'm late. the teacher would understand about the date thing. he'd just be like "don't make a habit of it" or something along those lines.



good idea or bad idea?: ask her if she would like to consider this a date or just a lunch between friends?

[- - e r i k - -]

Having lunch counts as a "date" now? Geez...

And definitely BAD IDEA. It's lunch. That's all.

Man, you 'mericans take "dating" way too seriously.

Hives from something you "packed"? I'd get that checked out right away!

Among really insecure or older divorced people, yes.
There's less risk of rejection but zero chance of reward as well.

I don't think you're going to impress a girl under 25 much with coffee or lunch dates.
Its begging for her to see you as only a friend.

[Rumor]

Meet up with her and give her a box, with your **** inside! She'll love it!

[brassplayersrock²]

what works for you might not work well for another

I've definitely gotten a 'reward' out of 'just' lunch a few times.

Hey girl, I got somethin' real important to give you
So just sit down and listen
Girl you know we've been together such a long, long time (such a long time)
And now I'm ready to lay it on the line
(Wooow) You know it's Christmas and my heart is open wide (open wide)
Gonna give you something so you know what's on my mind (what is on my mind)
A gift real special, so take off the top
Take a look inside -- it's my dick in a box (it's in a box)
Not gonna get you a diamond ring
That sort of gift don't mean anything
Not gonna get you a fancy car
Girl ya gotta know you're my shining star
Not gonna get you a house in the hills
A girl like you needs somethin' real
Wanna get you somethin' from the heart
Somethin' special girl
It's my dick in a box, my dick in a box girl
It's my dick in a box, my dick in a box girl
See I'm wise enough to know when a gift needs givin' (girl)
And I got just the one, somethin' to show ya that you are second to none
To all the fellas out there with ladies to impress
It's easy to do just follow these steps
1: Cut a hole in a box
2: Put your junk in that box
3: Make her open the box
And that's the way you do it
It's my dick in a box...my dick in a box girl
It's my dick in a box, my dick in a box girl
Christmas; dick in a box
Hanukkah; dick in a box
Kwanzaa; a dick in a box
Every single holiday a dick in a box
Over at your parent's house a dick in a box
Mid day at the grocery store a dick in a box
Backstage at the CMA's a dick in a box (yeah-wow-wow-wow-wow-wow)
A dick in a box, a dick in a box, a dick in a box...

Was it the first date or had you hooked up with her prior to that lunch?

Just as an FYI: Most women like to date a man, not a wet fish. If you have to ask, you've lost already.

What the hell happened to this place while I was gone?

[design219]

Where the hell have you been?

[moonmonkey]

Just don't under any circumstances talk about computers, if she asks you about computers or wants you to fix her computer, she wants to have sex, and its important to give her what she wants.

This advise has served me well for the past 20 years.

Well, bpr got his degree in psychotherapy and is a very sensitive, loving man with all kinds of great perspective.

Or he's a <rude comment here> White text is uncool, and hiding comments this way is not terribly mature. Glenn

First date. Admittedly, this isn't the norm, but it's happened a few times.

Original, too, judging from the squared sign.

[Laminar]

And when he first came back, his signature was "It's hip to be brass." You think I'm joking.
