So I've met this stunning girl on line. She's way out of my league, but we have been chatting away and have a few things in common. Now I've got to get her out on a date. Remember, we have never met. My question: Is horse back riding a good first date or is it a bad idea waiting to go wrong? I'm almost 98% sure she would accept horseback riding as a first date. And I would of course offer the classic coffee and conversation along side my offer for horseback riding. Any thoughts from the women out there? Or the men? It's not something I would normally try, but it sure sounded like a good idea when it popped into my head....
I say go for it. Most people you meet online generally are pretty nice and accepting people if you meet them in person, IMO. While I've never hooked up with someone I met online for a date, everyone I've ended up meeting in person has been pretty cool.
Well, horseback riding is cool and I guess some consider it to be romantic and all (depending on what you wear to do it), but you are automatically eliminating the possibility of scoring after. You will be so sore down there, you won't want to. Kidding. Ummm, I have never met anyone through the internet before, kinda scares me. But I'd guess to make her feel comfortable, I'd try something in a very PUBLIC place first.
, oh man, I forgot about that. I guess I won't be scoring! But she's conservative anyway, so I should have plenty of time to recover in that area if this is the way I go.
Only thing about the Horses. . . SMELL. .. women tend to not like to get smelly. . .esp on a 1st date. But different folx . .different strokes Hard to give advice since we don't know her If she into horses. . . it is perfect If she not or have not mentioned it. . . I dunno Question: What are you attempting to project to her? what Image [we all project images] Rocket River
Yeah....if your the horse . Also, maybe she doesn't want you to see her b00bs bouncing up and down while riding a horse on the first date. Maybe they are larger than normal and it is embarrasing to be jossled up and down OR maybe they are too small and don't bounce enough. Ever think of that? Or maybe she has a yeast infection and it pains her to ride a horse at the moment? Ever think of that? Maybe I'm just being comical? Ever think of that? How about go-carts? Not as much jossling, you can bang her, you can let her win, you can bang her, and you can wipe her out if it's not going well . Who doesn't like the go-cart? What...you too old for the go-cart? You don't like ah the go-cart? You think I'm funny? How the f*ck am I funny? WTF is so funny? Do I amuse you? I wanna know....what did I do that is so f*ckin funny to you? Wise guy....come here.....(apply nookie here).
Horseback riding. BWAHAHAHAHA. Just kidding dude. H-back riding would be coming on a little strong, IMO. Since it's your first date you may want to do something relaxing, like the traditional dinner and movie, so that you can talk face to face. After that you can proceed to screw her brains out.
I wouldn't do it...particularly given these circumstances...I'd be more likely to opt for the coffee and conversation. Remember, meeting someone from the internet carries with it a lot of baggage...people can be a bit uneasy about it..particularly women. I think I would do whatever I could to encourage as much one on one conversation as I could...to get to know her better and for her to get a window into my personality... but that's just me...i guess it all depends on what you're comfortable with.
Horseback riding is a nice idea (provided she likes horses), but I think it's pretty involved for a first date. I know coffee is kind of cliche, but there's a reason people do that on a first date -- it's short, it's public and it's easily escapable. Even if she's cool on the Internet, there could be absolutely no chemistry between you two -- you don't want to be stuck together all afternoon if that's the case. Plus, as Max mentioned, from her point of view it may seem like a less threatening option. Go for the coffee first. If all goes well, do the horseback riding trip on the second date. Good luck!
Man, those are some good points. Might be too much too fast. Maybe that's something I can throw out there if the first date is going well. I just want her to have fun and I know she would "love to go horseback riding because she hasn't done that in years." I guess I'm going to rely on my personality for this first date unless someone convinces me otherwise. Yikes. Rely on my personality? But so far it has scored so I guess I can keep it up.
What are you a yuppie?!! Forget the coffee and keep it simple. Go have a nice dinner and take it easy. If things go well and she's interested in seeing you again then you could mention going horseback riding sometime. Remember, this is not a first date, but more like a first encounter.
whew!! validation for my thoughts on dating from the female perspective!! important because i have a big date with my wife tonight celebrating her last day of teaching!!!
If she's way out of your league, why will it even matter? Seriously, make a gameplan. You want A, and you want it by B. How are you goping to do this? I find that by setting goals and making a plan you have a higher chance at success. Good Luck.
We've shared photos. So we pretty much know what each other looks like. She's 5'9, Green Eyes, Slender (run's marathon's), and has blonde hair. She looks just like the blonde tall girl on Real World New Orleans. Not to bad huh? Almost an exact duplicate of her. Strangely, She is also a Rocket fan just like Jaguareyes, but this one lives in DC and is much older. Does is get much better than that? Anyway, I have no game plan. However, I've usually found that woman like confident men who aren't afraid to tell humiliating/funny stories of themselves. That has usually worked for me and has gotten me this far. Let's just hope her picture tells the whole story. She's 32. God only knows why she is still single. She's been very cool thus far. She even golfs and watches basketball. This girl is out of my league, but sometimes that doesn't matter for the ladies so I'm willing to take my chances on being able to make her laugh
Thank you BBS! I got the date. Does anybody want to talk me through the date too . We are going to see "About a boy" next weekend and catch dinner. Wish me luck. This girl is active.

Anybody else have that Circuit City commercial come to mind? The one where the fat dude and the skinny chick think about doctoring photos of themselves to send over the Internet.
