First date advice?

LegacyUser

Hi Guys,

I know it's been done before but I just asked a girl out on Facebook and she said yes!
Anyway, she said for me to suggest a time and place. I was wondering if anyone had any advice because I've never gotten this far with a girl before... and for the date itself.

Thanks!!!

My God... ...the digital age really has arrived. Why don't you just ask her where she wants to go, and then agree to that? The cinema is the obvious choice (... :rolleyes: ...) but maybe you can be more of a gentleman and suggest that you would be happy to have lunch with her in a restaurant or [trendy] café.

By the way, don't do everything through Facebook. Get her number and call her.

Tayto!

Congrats!
Yep defo get her number!
I'd say avoid cinema...the international comedy club is good for a first date (if your in Dublin??)! Think its on most evenings...get time to chat and a guaranteed laugh!

g'luck!

I'm of two minds on the cinema... if you don't know somebody all that well at all then it's a waste of time since you're not going to find too much out about them. It's sometimes a good 2nd or 3rd date after work if ye're both knackered after a hard day.

The zoo! Gives you a chance to walk around for a few hours and get to know her.

Cheers lads!
Was never planning to do everything on Facebook. Think I'll go with the cafe suggestion.
I wish it was Dublin!!

I second the zoo as well, works great with someone you don't know too well.

Quite a few in Dublin wish they were in the country:)
I would swap numbers before you meet and make at least one call to the number before you go. Safety
Cafe sounds good. Eh how old are you?

I'll add in that going to an intimate gig is a great first date! It gives you both time to chat a bit on the way, during the intermission, and afterwards about the gig and yourselves...win-win situation really unless the person in question is not into that type of music.

Cheers!
I'm 22 and I know it's a tad sad I've never been on a date before. We're going for a coffee tomorrow and I have her number.

Fair play and good luck with it. Cinema is an awful date at the start. Sitting in the dark and not talking to each other for a couple of hours is pointless. Best to try get to know each other on the first few dates so go somewhere you can have a chat.

Relax man, nothing wrong with having your first date at 22. It would most likely go better than any date you would have had in your early teens anyway. I hope it was to your approval - do inform us of the outcome.

Met her for a coffee. Didn't speak all that much. I thought her English was a bit better than it was or it might have been my accent or even that I'm new to this.
Thanks a million all who replied!
