If u like Jazz music I suggest Red Cat on Milam. The food isn't great (maybe just drinks here), but the live music is nice and its so loud it affords u the opportunity to get close "to hear" without looking like a weirdo. Teahouse on Shepherd & Westheimer has yummy drinks. I was hooked after the first one. They even have board games you can play while you sit and sip. I would thoroughly enjoy a date to a Rockets game, even in the uppers, but I don't know what kinda girl she is so I can't say. Do you know what she likes? If not FIND OUT. Make a cute little basket with a good book on a subject she's interested in, some fresh ground coffee, candles, a CD with songs from her favorite artists, things like that. If she's the kid loving goofy type, a date at Chuck E. Cheese, or sumthing equally as childish could be fun. A picnic if shes outdoorsy. Museum hopping if she's artsy. Overall just remember as others have said, RELAX, and have fun.
Welcome her to HIS neighborhood. lol I don't know I just think it would be cute. Edit: Yes I am female. And it was just a suggestion that I threw out there. Better advice than the my first post in this thread.
Seriously man. I dunno if shady pink is a female or not, but that's a classic example of what a girl wants does not always equate to what a girl needs.
Invite her over, order in pizza, and make her watch how good you are at video games. That's what I do. Until my girlfriend stands in front of the tv blocking my vision, than kicks me like Adam Vinatieri trying to make a 70 yard field goal.
I learned everything I know about dating from Mike Damone. Just go where ever it is you like to go, do what ever you like to do and just act like "Isn't this great?" Besides, look at you: member of the honor roll, assistant to the assistant manager of the movie theater. I'm tellin' ya, if this girl can't smell your qualifications, then who needs her, right?
ask her if she like's cocaine. before she can even asnswer tell her you can score some primo **** super cheap and that your guy lives just a few minutes away. as you start driving, reach behind your seat and grab the bottle of whiskey... make sure it's something like old crow or kentucky deluxe or evan williams. take a big pull and then hand to her, telling her how "f*cking pumped you are" and that "tonight is going to be f*ckin' awesome." turn up "that smell" by lynyrd skynyrd way loud. don't forget to mention that you bought a ton of rubbers, but that you "never use the f*ckers anyways."
Or listen to Sigur Ros - it worked for Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow as well as for me and my wi.., er, anyway - Jonsi and the boys can be a pretty powerful aphrosidiac. Seriously, you screwed up big time by telling this girl that this will be the greatest date ever without having any idea what you are going to do. I hope for your sake it doesn't go well because you are going to have to constantly outdo yourself on all future dates with this girl. Next time, find a girl that you have interest in and ask her out WITHOUT making any promises about how great the date is going to be.
If you do this...please dont make some lame spaghetti dinner. That is played out and wont get you too far. Havent been to the zoo lately but that might be cool....you can also watch all those stupid dating MTV shows for ideas
God, I hate the idea of agreeing with Manny about anything date related, but there you go. Do you know what kind of music she likes? Take her to a club, if you do, and see a group live. Have some drinks. Take her to your place for 'dessert." Actually have a dessert there. Whatever you think she might like. Something tasty, and have some good champagne to go with it. Happen to have a sexy flick on your DVD player when you show off your system. Night Trips or Night Trips II are both good, although Debbie Does Dallas is a classic. House of Dreams is another classic. Well, those might be a tad racy for a first date... play it by ear! (good luck!!)
Dude, first of all...RELAX and enjoy being with her!!!!!!! Second, seeing as you spent 2 weeks trying to get her to go out with you, you should probably have a vague idea what she likes and doesn't. If she's sporty take her to the rockets game, if she is intellectual take her to an art gallery. If she likes to just go out and have a good time and appreciates good music take her to Sambuca. There you can get a nice table (make reservations, gets packed at times) enjoy great drinks and soul full music. You can even have a nice dance. Few things to keep in mind, listen to what she says because she will know if you have been listening to her or not. Also, let her do most of the talking. Since its your first date be semi romantic meaning if you go for a walk, give her your jacket...things like that. And most importantly dress nice. Can't ever go wrong with a jacket.
As a girl, I want to first say this: you totally f*cked up by saying this will be the best date ever, because now no matter what you do it won't live up to her expectations. Thats besides the fact that you had to really sell yourself hard to get this date and all she's gonna do is watch you hang yourself cuz you're so desperate she doesn't have to try and get rid of you. You'll do all the work for her just by being lame. But an awesome date idea is dave and busters. It's fun, you get to hang out and talk, and the have food, drinks, and games. Everything you need for a great date is there.
No matter how this date ends up, at the end of the day, let her know you asked how to take her out on the best date ever at an Internet forum; she will love you forever and ever AMEN.
I will guide you through this, but you must do EXACTLY as I say... First.... What you are wearing when you show up will be your biggest impression. Black Leather assless chaps and a Dan Marino Jersey with ketchup stains on it says "I'm a manly man with a wild and dangerous side and I know what I want" Second... She needs to know right away that you're in command of the relationship, and its going to go anywhere, you are going to dictate everything. Play the song "Hoes ain't ****" by Snoop Dogg and sing along, if you don't know the words, just learn the cusses. You MUST emphasize every word that is usually considered derragotary to women. This will show her that you don't take **** from women and you're gonna be holding the reigns in this thing. Chicks dig that assertive kind of approach. Third... women don't like to be wined and dined anymore. Take her to Jack in the Box, if she complains... explain to her that this is the greatest resteraunt in the known world and they have anything her heart desires. If she asks for filet mignon, smack her across the back with a 2 by 4 (you should have one stashed in the back of your car) for being such a smartass. This will earn her respect. Spare no expense, Order 2 tacos, a jumbo jack with cheese, onion rings, jalapeno poppers, a chicken sandwich and curly fries with an extra large coke for yourself and then let her get what she wants, she'll probably just order some whiny little salad that'll cost more than everything you just got. If she doesn't order a drink, tell her that she's gonna have to drink Orange Soda. If she says she doesn't like Orange Soda, Tell her "Well I Do and I'm gonna need some for later after I ravage your inner parts" Devour all your food within seconds, do not even look at her once, just continue to gorge yourself... this signals to her "Here is a guy who takes what he wants, when he wants it, and doesn't care about the cost, or what other people think" Fourth... By this time she should be dripping moist with anticipation for your next endevour, and you shall not disappoint. Take her a dark alley and bring a golf club and some live hamsters. Tell her this is an ancient Chinese sport in which if you are able to locate the hamsters in the dark and successfully whack them with a golf club, you win. Scatter the Hampsters and scream "CHOOKA LAKA NAHEE MAMBA WALKEE KALLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!" with your eyes as big as possible. Take the golf club and bash whatever is in sight with reckless abandon. This will tell her that you have a wild and untamed sense of adventure that can never be harnessed. After you crack open a hamster carcass and devour the insides, she will be putty in your hands. This is foolproof, trust me.
haha alright guys. I appreciate the few serious post. I have to admit a lot of the non serious were funny. Thanks for the 3 pages of post haha.
