Date ideas

marcl

Hey guys and girls

Looking for some date recommendations.

Bit of a back story first I think. So i'm still kind of new to the whole being gay thing and i'm finally coming to accept it. So lately i've been trying to do the whole dating thing with guys. Which is a big thing for me seen as i'm not out, so being seen with a guy in public was a big step. Anyway long story short i want some ideas of where to go on dates with guys which won't have every one in the country looking at us cause we're two gay guys. I guess i'm still a bit self conscious about the whole thing.

Like I know the cinema is grand cause its dark so no one can tell, but its not exactly the best place to go to get to know some one. Like i guess certain things like going for drinks or going for bowling or something is a good option as you don't necessarily have to be on a date to be there you could just be mates. I just think things like going for dinner on a Friday evening with all other couples around is a bit much at the moment

So ya any other ideas or recommendations for dates for two gay guys would be great

its a hard one to call, like yourself im new to this also and when i found a guy i wanted to meet i asked him to mine, bit risky and all but like yourself was paranoid about being seen in public which by the way is all in your head but easy for me to say that now, i meet him first in town once we confirmed we both werent serial killers went back to mine and just chatted over a cuppa, but i suppose a quietish pub would prob be the best for some conversation and a chance to relax a bit, its a hard one to call OP i know were your coming from

Great craic:D


Although I also like collins barracks.

But considering it's Halloween season try the ghost bus tour. It'll be freezing cold at night so there'll be loads of opportunities to share body heat

Well i don't mind the whole being seen in public at this stage. Its just doing the whole romantic dinner thing, which is a bit of cliché anyway, is a bit awkward.

Like as I said ideas for things which two mates could be doing together, but which could be construed as date potential for two guys

Go on a boat tour of the liffey or the viking boat tour or to Dublin zoo

What do you like?
What does he like?

Go to a match, a concert, a pub session, a museum, for a walk, a picnic, sightseeing, an MMA lesson, crocheting... You could do a relaxed meal, like the gourmet burger place, or sushi, or noodles, it would probably make for a better setting to get to know someone than clunky formal dining anyway, never mind that it doesn't scream date.

Scratch sushi, that's the worst first date idea ever. Sharing something you enjoy (unless you enjoy really boring stuff) is a good one though.

well i did start a tread today about skiing in kilternan for a date but no one really took to it. So i think that might be out of the question

Like the guy i've met the most recently and would like to go on a few more dates with, is kind of into skiing and so am i so i thought it would be a great idea for our forth date. But maybe not we'll see

I guess the problem is it hard to get to know what someone is in too for the first few dates so you have to try fairly generic stuff. But ya obiviously once i get to know someone well enough to know what the really like then its a bit easier to go on a date to something i.e. a match or a gig or something

Coincidentally and randomly enough I got an email last week about a gay group going cross country skiing in Poland in February

Ya i don't think either of us are in the cross country skiing group just yet, thats hardcore skiing. And i don't think we'll be organising our first holiday just yet, we've only seen each other 3/4 times

It sounds like a cool idea, if there's something you can do that's open to any level of proficiency from "can stand on skis".

Head out to a club for a mad nights drinking, get locked out of your box, stumble to Supermax for a snack box at 2:15AM and then get the ride in the bathroom stall.

Be a gent and let him cum first. Classy

Hey!! Sushi is an awesome first date idea. Had a date two weekends ago and went for sushi. Have had two dates since then, so it clearly went well!!

Eating sushi does require a skilled pair of hands though...

Sorry, it's not a bad date idea, it's a bad surprise date idea, it's not exactly a safe bet.
