First date without booze

suit · 2008-02-19 13:50:11

Want to ask girl i get on well with/kissed recently, on date. The last time i met her she commented that i was too drunk. She had a point. The cinema is out due to lack of conversation. I was thinking of Bingo. Or is that as bent as it sounds? Any suggestions

Yes, bingo is as bent as it sounds.

What are you, an elderly woman?

Picnic and make some effort with it.

not bingo, you'll just get distracted by the two fat ladies
(clever enough bad bingo joke?!)

Anywho how about (depending on location....) ...bowling, ice skating, mini golf, play pool, walk (find nice location), theatre, something in local area like aquarium or other attraction....

How about a meal. You can do that without booze. Its a nuetral venue. If its not going well you can climb out bathroom window and stiff her for the bill*.

what about bowling/arcade typy thing? I wouldnt even suggest bingo if you actually want her to turn up, but that said, you must think she'd be interested if you think its appropriate?

Whatever you do dont bring her to bingo, the cinema isnt so bad if you go for something casual like a pizza beforehand....

But like the other posters said, a walk or play pool or bowling or whatever

What in the name of god made you think of bingo

I'm going to assume you're in Dublin.

Why not a stroll (with Coffee/Hot Chocolate) in the Iveagh Gardens (behind the National Concert Hall), followed by a pre-Theatre dinner and a trip to an opera or something in the National Concert Hall? Women love that stuff.

Or for something different you could do the Ghost Bus thing in Dublin.

You could play pool in the Palace on Camden Street?

All of them seem interesting but I reckon the Ghost Bus could be good craic and then if things go well you may end up in the pub afterwards.

OP Bingo is pure brilliance but don't do it I want this one.
I promise for the next time I go on a date its bingo I'm bringing the lucky girl too.
Then I'll play it as straight as can be and continuously tell her how I come here all the time and love the place.

Reaction will be supreme and if I can still keep her interested after that I'll be a feckin hero:cool:

Women always say they want something different, right here the OP has something so different no one ever thinks of it well spot on buddy its a funny way of taking the piss out of her for slagging your drinking and also makes for a very easy conversation starter and shared funny memory.

I saw a trailer for the new James Bond film, he is wooing some Brazilian female spy in the old bingo hall, she can't resist "leggzzhh eleven Miss Moneypenny".

How about the casino if you like a gamble? or the horses. You can have a normal drink at them too.

I had the same situation lately well kinda. I was meeting up with a chinese girl that i knew didnt drink much... I went to see No Country For Old Men in the cinema and a few drinks in Temple Bar. Just have about 3 or 4 pints and you'll both losen up and have a bit of fun but not be a drunken mess in front of her! I ended up having a great night

You could go to a comedy night, yeah they tend to be held in pubs but you could always get a meal there and have maybe just a pint or two, she'll be impresed that you're holding back for her, and everyone likes comedy, even if it's terrible you can laugh abou how awful it was!

Zoo, definately, especially if you can time it for when some cute baby animal is born, or you could meet her for lunch from work some day,and do the whole picnic thing, or take her to your special place, and i don't mean you bedroom, take her to the place you like to go to think, my place is the north bank of the shannon river at home in limerick, great view of the city especially at night, and its really quiet down there, picnic and chat will do wonders for your opportunities of a second date.

Be careful mate, the last girl I asked out who I met when I was "too drunk" turned out to be about 4 stone heavier than I thought.

What a night that was.

Bring her somewhere you can make a quick exit from.

Bingo? Yawn... There is so much to do besides booze it up, too. Walks in the park, picnics, day at the beach, lunch, dinner, hanging out at a javahouse, theatre, cycling, hiking, sports events, music concerts, horseback riding, sailing, skiing... the list goes on and on.

Personally I prefer to get her round for a DVD. I cant have a convo with a new bird in a crowded pub or restaurent.

In fact if it was up to me Id never go out anymore with herself. DVD, beer, smirnoff ice, bed, sorted. Im just that lazy.

HAHAHAHAHAH
Sorry but

HAHAHAHAHA

Ok, I have your problem in that I can drink more than a bit too much at times, particularly when I`m nervous. I suggest going for dinner. You can have a glass or two with that but the food and conversation will distract you so you don`t drink too fast and get hammered.

His location says nothing and around a third of the population live in Dublin. It's the most likely assumption.
