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

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.

I`m in work screaming laughing and everyone thinks I`m mad thanks to readingyour post

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.

But really in my opinion you should bring her to a nice arcade or something, playing Pool with a woman does wonders! It's all the balls!

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

...bingo?

Bring her to the local national school and just sit outside it with a smirk on your face. Everytime she starts a conversation sush her and stare at the children. Maybe stroke yourself a little.

Get back to us with the results.

Less than a quarter live in Dublin actually.

So a 20%ish chance isn't the most likely option.

On topic, you never know folks, if she's a sound decent girl she might see bingo as a bit of craic. It can actually be fun.

So I was very close then. Basically a one in four chance, I'd still choose Dublin then.

I think you should take her paintballing.

As you stand on the battle field begin smearing war paint on your face (boot polish will suffice if there is none available). Then in a low, even voice that somehow still manages to betray your excitement, state that all pleasures pale in comparison to hunting the most deadly prey of all - man (or woman). At this point you should don a red bandanna, turn your back on her and begin howling like a wolf! Now is the time to inform her that she has 30 seconds before the hunt begins.

30... 29... 28...

I actually thought the bingo idea was a good one. It's not the first time I've heard it suggested. A gig (music or comedy) or a walk could be good alternatives.

You could always do what you normally do and just drink less?
She was complaining that you were overly drunk, not drunk .

Should always keep an eye out how much your date is drinking and cut back (or step up!) accordingly. Could also get her smashed while you drink non alcoholic beer and then tell her that shes a bit drunk this time

Cute baby animals arent all that cute when their in the process of being born. But the zoo is a good idea.

Comedy night, followed by one or 2 drinks.
Someone mentioned the dogs, may not be a bad idea, different anyway.
Or, just take her out for a few drinks on a Saturday night, if you were really miles too drunk last time you wouldn't be getting a date, if you take her out in her local area it's not bad cause her mates will probably be in another pub and it will give her an opportunity to call in the rescue squad if it's not going to well, the few drinks helps ye relax and I think its the best way to get to know someone
