sillymoo2007

I went on a first date with a fantastic guy last tuesday, We've been in touch all week and have arranged to meet for a 2nd date this wednesday evening.

He says to suprise him !! So what do I do girls n guys obviously something that will knock his socks off...

god he is lazy i would never of gotten away with that.

as was said in another thread like this the dogs is meant to be a great night out.

of course if you really want to blow his socks of at 20 paces ill direct you to this website which may or may not be suitable for work

Go to the fairgrounds and go on all the rides, eat spun sugar and pop corn. Kiss on the Ferris wheel.

Show him your penis. That will sure as hell surprise him.

Good one LOL

But I am sure that's not the type of suprise he had in mind.

I actually thought that was what the thread was about when I say the title, I thought 'is this going to be like The Crying Game'?

You will have a great time if you do this, http://www.seasafari.ie/
The Viking Splash Tour is good fun too. You will be soaked but will have lots of fun.

Dress up to the max and take him to the best cocktail / wine bar in your area.
I'm a firm believer in simple, alcohol-lubricated dates showing the best results for everyone.

More experimental nights can be left for dates 5+. Anything too crazy too soon can add unnecessary pressure.

ps. I like Peak Output's lingerie plan too.

Why would you think that it sounds like the crying game? I would just like to do something different than going for a bite to eat and drinks, but also something thats not too mad!! Thanks for idea's so far

This would work fine for me!

Comedy club is always a winner tbh. Unless he's a weirdo with no sense of humour, but I'm sure he's not...

Oh, a picnic in the zoo is also a good one. Take advantage of the good weather while you can.

Some of the reply posts had me checking that this wasn't AH but anyway...

The way I see it is that there are 2 possibilities here:
1. Surprise me with something fun
2. Surprise me with something you

Depending on how much time you plan to spend together on the date you could try for both, one thing that's very much you (something you'd do when not trying to impress, even if it's just a film you want to see, let him get to know you and what you like stuff), followed by something fun so you definitely end the night on a high note and make sure that he doesn't forget what a great time he has when with you. If you could have one thing covering both so much the better but in all reality if stuck choosing probably best to go with the fun stuff at this point (2nd date).

Fun things... fun things...
Comedy club as others have suggested
Go Karting
Splatoon
Bowling at the plex, can also play air hockey, snooker/pool, arcade games, etc...

I've decided have booked dinner and tickets to riverdance !!!! Man I hope he's not a boards member lol

riverdance? not try to knock your idea. but on a second date sitting through that could be rough - wouldn't dump you if i liked you but certainly would be "ugh". although maybe he is different to me.

second date should (IMO) about getting to know each other. sitting in silence is not the best for that - kinda like a cinema date. Leave it till you know each other.

on a second date - dinner and drinks is (IMO again) the best plan.
maybe make it with a difference or not so serious. say like a tapas bar where you can eat , talk and drink cocktails.

Or make a picnic go to a quiet beach or lake for sundown and buy some "fire holder lantern things" from some DIY store (woodies or B & Q) and making romantic and chatty so you can get to know each other. just my idea.

If ya were trying to impress me, you'd have taken a few steps backwards with this! Riverdance!?! Unless he is into Irish dancing or something, I can't see how he would be interested in this!

PeakOutput

ah relax its not a horrible idea and even if he hates it its his fault BUT you should of just listened to us

when is riverdance on??? try and get a dinner beforehand in and a club after maybe??? dont just meet up go to riverdance sit down not talk then say bye bye after.

sillymoo2007

Very true. I think someone else called this guy lazy earlier in the thread and I think you've called his bluff brilliantly. Next time he'll be arranging the date!! lol

P.S. Too late for a suggestion now but my suggestion would have been the Havana restuarant for shared Tapas food and some music. A little bit different from the standard eaterie and lots of fun.

If there is a next date... it'l be hard to beat riverdance:rolleyes:

River dance is a dodgy option. It's a love it or hate sort of thing. Personally, I'd only want to watch it if there was a chance of Flatleys feet being Hilti nailed to the stage.
Take advantage of the relatively fine weather this week, pack a damn good picnic hamper with a load of cold beer /or wine. Bring him to the beach or up the hills, get him sloshed and well, you can take it from there.

Riverdance? You're joking right? Please say you are joking?

Usually I'm lazy with dates. Never again I tells ya, never again.

I hope he dosen't realise what a bore you are after that.....

sunny2004

Without knowing what you did on the first date it would be hard to suggest something, but I would be afraid of completely blowing his socks off as the situation may excalate and by date 6 you might be trying to charter a private plane over greenland to keep up

Keep it simply, and you as a person should blow his socks off, not the place you are in..


As for this...

Well its got humour and if the op suggested it in a funny way, I am sure the guy would crack up.. I dont understand why mods dont delete these posts if they break rules and send a pm explaining the situation rather than banning someone ?

riverdance?
isn't that for middleaged married couples?

i wouldn't be too impressed if a guy brought me to that, in fact it'd certainly be the last date i went on with him.

Rips up tickets, no point in contacting you then ! LOL

Seriously girl, Riverdance isn't a good date. Why not a night out to a stand up comedy.

Why not get the Event Guide and see if there's anything FUN to do, that will make him want to get to know you more on the THIRD date??

I think your making a smelly move. Whats he going to say to his mates about going to see Riverdance? C'mon! You can do much better than that.

I second the tapa's bar idea. Somehwere fun, with people around, if things get fun then you can have a cocktail and giggle together about random things, but at Riverdance.. what.. you think he'l hold your hand the whole way through? If your in a bar, eating and drinking he might even squeeze your leg a little!

Oh and in a bar, you can say to whatever music is playing, I like this band... and get talking about music. If he secretly tells you in the bar his fave music is Riverdance, then it might just be love. But, you know, I doubt it!

Have to say Riverdance is a bit weird for a second date. I'd take comedy club, dogs, funfair, bowling, karting, picnic and just about any other option suggested first.

I suppose age comes into it a bit, but, Riverdance really seems like a settled couple kind of date. That one is usually dragged to because the other is a fan. One of my first dates with my girlfriend of 4 years was the funfair. And the ferris wheel is a great place for some serious kissing (as well as just about anywhere else at that stage of the relationship)!

Yeah my boyfriend and I went on a ferris wheel last night, his idea. We ended up kissing for the most of the thing as he's afraid of heights. lol

Anyway Riverdance, eh ugh. Really, but he did leave it up to you so I hope that the whole thing keeps going places. And if he's smiling at the end of the whole thing make sure there are drinks afterwards.

Caliden

Are you punishing him for leaving it up to you to decide what you should do on a second date?

TheJoker

I think dinner and riverdance would be a lovely date. Good for you....

I would be a bit worried for date number 3 though...how would top that?

Rubbish food heated up in a microwave TBH

So the day after, We'll I was kinda chringing for the first few mins thinking omg I cant believe I brought him to see fairies dancing around a stage, But in fact we did both really enjoy it and have a huge giggle at how tacky irish it is and how the whole thing was dubbed with feet sounds not matching dancing so basically they were puppets without strings. So yes I have learned my lesson Dont bring a bloke to riverdance and after going I wouldnt even bring my granny to see it lol.

BaZmO*

I think the the most amazing thing about this date is not that you decided to take him to Riverdance (although it is a strange choice) is that he stung you into bringing him somewhere. Second date and he's calling the shots already, good man!
