Uhm, date..

Sythe teh Ladies man, Liek Omg.

 

Don't take any advice from anyone from this thread except Sythe he knows what he is talking about.

O_O.

 

You could, go utter nuts do like an 19th century pinic like in britian shows some class/ crazy skills.

> but as stated dress normally, get some yummmy! food and just relax ment to be fun gl with dating scene.

 

When I go out in public, I'm usually fancied up as much as possible. I don't wear suits, but if I had a good one, I probably would.

Yeah, I do try to hard at times, so that's a good point. I asked her what she thought I should make, and she said she'd let me worry about that, but I also know she likes Italian so I'll probably make a few dishes.

Fortunately, I'm not nervous, never am. But I do try very hard because of how socially awkward I am. Conversation doesn't come natural to me, lol.

That's why I learned. Lol.

I know what she likes, now. I found out a little bit after I posted this. Now it's narrowing it down because Italian food is rather broad. You have pasta on one end, and breaded products on the other.

I would rather look like the one on the left rather than the one on the right. Casual dress is ok as long as it's not disgusting as shown above, though.

I'm not 21st century. I'm very old school when it comes to dating, and even find it customary to open doors for girls, so a picnic suits my personality to a 't'. Plus, from what I've read, girls don't like contemporary, they prefer something that makes them feel unique.

Plenty of good advice that I'll take to heart.

Very detailed, Sythe. I'm naturally a very hygienic person, so most of that comes naturally. The outfit suggestion, sounds like I'll have to do a bit of shopping.

I do have a good back up plan if that does happen. Since we're doing the picnic at night (because she likes the night more than the day), if it happens to rain that day it'll be even more in my favor as there's a spot in town where we can sit without getting wet and eat. However, it's not a very large spot, so it promotes a little more closeness .

How does Ginger ale sound? Can't do alcohol, unfortunately, unless we stay in.

The no amenities advice is good, I hadn't thought of that. I usually always wear a hat and sunglasses, but I guess that removes from the first impression.

 

I think a hat and sunglasses wouldn't go well as a first impression at night. It'd be killer if you did Hat + sunglasses + suit though. I'd love you forever, LOL.

Anyways, ginger ale should be fine. I know you're probably not 21 though and you must live in the US so bringing wine isn't the best thing to do outdoors.


Well good luck and tell us how it went

 

Makes sense. I'm not saying I'd touch her, but I feel sitting closer to a person promotes familiarity. At a typical picnic bench you sit across from your date, where I'm talking, you'd sit next to, which is what I meant by more intimate.

Agreed, but I do have piercings. I'm not gangster with them, however, as I barely wear noticeable studs (work places approve of them if that says anything). But where I do have piercings it draws attention to my important physical features, sort of a "look at me right here" kind of thing, which tends to help draw from other bad physical features.

Sun glasses, I do wear, but I take them off frequently, especially when I talk to people. Same with my hat that I almost always wear.

True, maybe I'll just get a good water or something. Or a sparkling grape juice that's enjoyable but also says 'sophistication'.

We had a sort of somewhat last minute first date today. We went to the movies with a friend each. She brought a male friend, I brought a chick, so we got to actually meet in person and see if we were at least attracted to one another.

It went well, except her male friend groped her a bit much for my liking, haha. Oh well. But yeah, so now I have a bit better understanding what to do on the picnic.

 

You sound like a pretty classy guy.

 

I would wear a casual shirt with sleeves (You can roll them up if you like), or at least something with a collar (Try Topman, they are pretty good for that) and whatever else you like. Make sure you are clean and that you have showered, shaved and done whatever else you need to do to make yourself look/smell nice.

As for food, try and work out what kind of foods she likes. You could make some sandwiches with nice fillings (Roast Beef and Horseradish, Roast Pork and Apple Sauce, Garlic Pate with Red Onion and Tomato etc.) or maybe make some wraps of some kind? Try and go for the things you know she likes. Bring a cake of some kind too, maybe a Victoria Sponge or Chocolate Cake, as well as some crisps (Go for some of the more expensive ones that are better quality). For drinks, you could buy some grape juice, or something else that's a little unusual. Just look around your local supermarket, you should find something nice. I have no idea how old you are, but it is legal where you live a bottle of nice wine could be good.

Bring a decent blanket to sit on, and take the food and drink in a hamper/basket. You could consider bringing a small Patio Umbrella to sit under, if there is no shade where you are planning to have the picnic (Visit the area first, just so you have a rough idea of where it is good to sit).

Just try and enjoy yourself and try and get her to enjoy herself. Be polite, and drop in the odd compliment here and there (Don't do it too often, it will be obvious that you are trying to get on her good side).

And as Finn said, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACK UP PLAN. WHAT HAPPENS IF IT RAINS, OR SOMETHING ELSE HAPPENS THAT PREVENTS YOU HAVING THE PICNIC?!

I hope I have helped

 

It really depends on the situation. If you're going for a more casual attire, I'd just say a white tee and a pair of nice jeans... But if you really want to make an impression on this girl, I would wear I nice light blue oxford, or maybe a nice solid color polo.

And as for the food... girls don't care much about food. It's all about the man.

And good luck
