Where To Take A First Date
Planning to go out on a date with a girl for the first time? Most guys will think “where should I take her?” There are your typical places: the movie theater, a school football game, or a nice dinner, and there are others, but I’ve found that those are the typical 3 places where the first date is taken. However, each place has its flaws. In this article, I will go over where you shouldn’t take a girl on a first date. Then, I’ll conclude with telling you the best place to go with her.
The Movie Theater
While the movies is a popular location for the first date, it really doesn’t do much at all to help you in the relationship. Also, you’ll probably have to spend at least $20, maybe $30 if she wants snacks. You won’t get to know her either, which is the biggest problem. You need to make sure that on your first date, you need to be able to talk with her so you can learn about each other. Otherwise, you’re wasting your time, and possibly your money.
The Game
Taking a girl to a basketball/football/whatever game is another popular idea for a first date. In fact, you’ll be able to talk to her a bit more here to get to know her. Unfortunately, it’s still not enough. When I say talk to a girl, I mean you need to be able to have at least a 45-minute to 1 hour good conversation. Learn as much as you can about her, because it shows her that you care. Also, at a sporting event, you might be around 1,000 other people. She’ll be talking to friends, taking pictures, and all that stuff. Furthermore, whatever conversation you do have could probably be heard by the 20-30 people sitting around you. Don’t go for the game.
A Nice Dinner
Now this is a date, right? You get to have a long conversation with her, you get to show her you’re a gentleman, and it is somewhat private. Taking her out to a nice restaurant is golden, right? Wrong! You don’t want to go spending upwards of $50 on your first date with a girl. It could turn out to be a waste of money if you do not like her. Also, if you’re having a crappy time, you are stuck until the waiter brings you the check. It’s quite the uncomfortable situation. At least at a school sporting event, you could just leave, but here you are trapped.
The Golden Place: A Party
Yes, that’s right. The best place to take a girl on first date is a party. Not only is it easy to ask her out (hey, my friend Mike is having a bunch of people at his house on Friday. wanna go?), it combines the best elements of the previous three possibilities. You can be alone with her somewhere in the house, even if you just want to talk. You won’t have to spend a dime. Also, it might last for a long time so you can really get to know her. Lastly, parties tend to have alcohol. Now, I’m not advocating date rape. In fact, I am not even suggesting you use alcohol to go anywhere physically with her. If you are both drinking, it will tend to bring out the true side of both you and her. Are you really compatible? Things will be out in the open when you’re a little drunk. Just make sure you are able to control yourself. And hey, if you don’t like her, there will be other girls there.
Honestly, take her to a party. Not only will you have a good time yourself, you will really progress the relationship. It is foolproof!

I have to say, the way you said that you should take her to a party is gold. Best place if you ask me. Nice one.
A party? Hell no that isn’t a good place to bring her. So some guy can pick her up? Or someone there can talk trash about you when you leave for a bit. Not the greatest environment for a date.
Why would you be going to a party where people would talk trash about you? And if she’s there with you, she’s probably not going to take off with some other guy. If she does, you don’t want her anyways. I still personally think dinner is the best, and you can have a nice dinner for two for anywhere from $20-30 at a decent restaurant that’s not overly priced but still good food and atmosphere. I agree 100% about the movies though.
Also, while drinking does make the truth come out, it doesn’t necessarily make your true self come out. People often act totally different when they’re drinking than they do when they’re sober. I know for me I probably wouldn’t want to be trying to develop something with a girl if I’ve had more than a few drinks.
Sorry, but I actually would hate the idea of going to a party for a first date. As a girl I have to be very careful about going into situations that will have alot of guys and flowing alcohol, and I don’t go unless I know at least two other people that will be attending well enough to know that they’ll help me if I need it.
I have enough trouble with sober creeps that I don’t know, and when a guy is drunk, he tends to care less if he makes you uncomfortable…or even hurts you. I’m not just talking about the guy taking me on the date. I’ve gotta consider the other guests as well.
Also, a party is ‘his’ turf, because he wouldn’t be going if his friends weren’t going to be there. A good first date is on ‘neutral’ turf.
you need to be very careful
that you are creating attraction
an actual emotional feeling
in this girl
instead of falling into a typical, wussy pattern of behavior
where you attempt to buy her things in exchange for her affection.
when you deal from a position of anything less than TOTAL confidence, you are setting yourself up for trouble.
duude.
drinking makes the truth come out?
it makes you look like an idiot
parties are cool and everything but its not like you can’t go to other places
what makes you such a relationship guru?
this would make more sense if this was written by a girl cause then she would KNOW what she wants.
haha katie.
sounds like youu know whats up.
very nice.
haha and just to add on here…even from a typically jackass guy’s point of view- if youre really trying to flirt andd pick up a girl…being drunk is gonna do nothing but take you OFF your game.
so if all the other reasons not to dont do anything for you, at least remember THAT.
