I was going to take a date to the Museums monday, but I forget they're closed :\. What's a good place to walk and talk about the surroundings?
just go somewhere where both of y'all can comfortably sit and talk. You don't have to force something to talk about like your surroundings. If y'all have chemistry y'all will hit it off, if not, then well..you'll know.
Yeah, the Zoo is gonna be like a sauna. I frown at just the thought of going there anytime in daylight, lol. The Arboretum could be a possible though.
A zoo or a museum for that matter can be seen as "too casual." Ask yourself this: why would a girl want to let her guard down to have fun at a zoo, when she doesn't even know if she likes you or not. Also, a zoo tells a girl you are interested in a relationship rather than just looking for a good time, which makes it harder to close the deal if you are put in that "relationship zone." My vote would be to take her to a trendy restaurant. Withhold the zoo for a second or 3rd date when your danger factor, lol. To that point, you might want to skip that altogether.
I meant after you have established your "danger potential." The quickest way to get a girl to like you is to show her a world she'd like to be apart of. For example, rather than taking her to a museum (which is really a random, boring activity) tell her that you have an artist friend who is having an art exhibit and would she like to go. In this case, you are still taking her to a museum, but it has become exciting now that she knows that YOU KNOW THE ARTIST. Subtle difference, but an important one.
Well, she has her bachelor's in Arts so it made sense until I saw the Monday closed deal. I think we're gonna do bowling and go somewhere to eat/drink after.
You can do a bar/restaurant and then walk around checking out the shops they have around there. Also you could do dessert at the Chocolate Bar afterwards if you do get lunch or dinner.
I honesty don't think that it makes sense. Girls are attracted to ambitious, serious guys, so taking an interest in her ambitions says a lot about how you view your own ambitions. You might be unintentionally telling her that you don't have anything going for yourself, otherwise you would have shown her that instead. Girls only care that a guy take an interest in what they do, once they see that you have equal and exceeding ambitions that you are realistically working toward. That's really the only thing that matters to them on a first date. Of course, being funny, charming doesn't hurt either. I think that showing a girl a good time is vastly overrated. Your goal on a first date SHOULD BE to prove to her that you are going places and have a vision for YOUR life. Otherwise you have no chance with this girl. To that end you have to sell her on you. Bowling can come later, along with everything else that doesn't directly contribute to you showing her your goals in life.
