    Sure, soften it a little, but it sounds fine.

    Something like "hey maybe you'd like to head out and see X with me sometime?"

    cinema always a good first date, dont bring your friends or her's..
    my first proper date was with 18 people so sh!t

    I'm assuming you're already friends with her since you are doing a course and she's in the same course? If so, well you've already jumped the first hurdle.

    Just say what MojoMaker suggested. Maybe talk about how what's out now, and ask her if she'd like to come along with ya.

    G'luck dude!

    aw I went to the cinema on my first date...its a good one to start with because ye can talk about the film afterward over coffee or something and get to know eachother better


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61 ✭✭GraveRobber


    Dont forget though if you dont know what your doin in the cinema on the first date it can be aquard to pull a first move... just remember be very touchy feely and holding hands will always lead to more :D .

    If you and your mates go out nacker drinking... that is cans of erm??? coke! ... thats a very relaxed way of going on a first date and its always easy to find space to yourselfs.

    Third but by no means least... if any of your mates are having a party or something bring her to that.

    Thats the way i went when I was younger... usually went quite well.

    Cinema has its pros and cons... its very respectfull BUT it has a lot of potential to become quite aquard.

    Then again the girls who posted before me here are girls so by default they would probly know better what the one you like would rather do.

    I duno... ah fuk it, jus jump in and say the first thing that jumps into your mind... planning too much can make you nervous. Youll do greate and never forget the end goal.

    why not be more inventive!!! cinema is good but why not something more fun and more original [no offence] Think outside the box she'd be way more impressed and it'll show that u ya really like her!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,487 ✭✭✭Kevin_rc_ie


    don't be stupid, keep in the box, there's always next week. if go on a crazy cool date this time you'll have to try and beat it the next time. you'll be broke and worn out after a few weeks.

    go to the cinema.

    Warning: you can't really talk there so try and meet earlier for 30-50 mins and leave time after to talk to.Try and hit an 8 o'clock show.

    There's no need to 'impress' her by doing something outlandish on your first date. Just relax and show her that you enjoy her company. Do NOT go knacker drinking with her. Cinema's a good idea for a couple of young ones. Get a bite to eat after...and bring some chewing gum. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,487 ✭✭✭Kevin_rc_ie


    lol young ones.

    what do non-young ones do on dates (do they go on dates)?golf?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 49 Humblebee


    It's just that he's really too young to be drinking...well, drinking with a girl he really fancies but doesn't know too well.

    And I'm ten years older...so he is a young one to me!

    Golf? The old joints ache just thinking about it.

    what the hell you're 26. i thought u were like 56. anyway, that's a good point about drinking. won't be drinking tomorrow. my personal favourite is the zoo.

    You'd think all the scraggy animals would be depressing, but the zoo actually makes for a pretty good date, especially if the weather's good.

    My first date was pub->dinner->coffee and lasted about 5 hours. Very traditional but it worked.

    Kev--er, are you abstaining tomorrow for religious reasons? Only one word ofr yo, if so--and it rhymes with game, and alliterates with lamb. Sorry, I'm being mean now. ;)

    ok thanks for the help will let you know how it goes


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    ok i'm going to ask her in the next couple of days only thing i'm worried about is that if she says no, she might tell everyone else that i asked her and it might get a bit akward

    ah wouldnt be worried aobut that.

    but yourslef in her position, if some girl asked you out and you said no, would you run around telling everyone she asked you out?

    if she doesnt like you, she will want to keep the awkwardness to a minimum so wont go around shouting it from the roof tops.

    best of luck.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 49 Humblebee


    If she does, then at least you'll know what kind of girl she is. Just be nice and just let her know that you'll be fine with whatever she says. That way, you'll come off as laid back whatever happens. Good luck!

    Cinema on a first date? Computer says no.....

    You need to get chatting on a first date, you won't learn anything about each other by sitting in front of a projected screen for 2 hours (probably wondering if you should hold her hand). Take her to a café, or if you're feeling very fancypants, a restaurant. Then get chatting for a few hours, it's worth getting to know each other. But if you can't hold a conversation then jayzus, don't blame me.
    Maybe the cinema afterwards if it goes well. ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 869 ✭✭✭goin'_to_the_PS


    no i think do something simple but leave time to talk afterwards


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,099 ✭✭✭✭WhiteWashMan


    cinema is best on first date *because* you dont have to talk on a first date.

    it allows you to actually go out, and if you both realise it wont work out, neither is embarassed.
    if you go the pub and realise you are both chalk and cheese, one person sits like a spare príck for 3 hours, while the other is just sort fo embarassed.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,281 ✭✭✭PullMyFinger!


    16 - Cinema

    26 - Bite to eat

    36 - those meetings Hugh Grant went to in About A Boy

    46 - Friday night in Knightsbridge


    Seriously tho, to the OP: a comedy film followed by a pizza. When you ask her out just drop it into coversation. Best of luck
