date idea help

[fearlesss]

This girl that I met on saturday (during a wedding I was bartending for ) lives about a half an hour north of where I live. I'm not familiar with her area in terms of where to go and eat etc. Some how it was suggested that we met in between. That's fine I know the resturants. Since this is to take place on a monday or a wedsday and she has to be at work at 7 am, I'm not sure if we just get something to eat and play get to know you or if we should do something else ( and that where I need some ideas) as well. I mean I want her to have fun but I do not think I want to keep her out till 12 or something when she has to work.

go and visit a nearby park after leaving the restuarant.

Or if you're really concerned about her schedule, maybe say something like, "so I was thinking we could do x & y, what do you think?" Personally, I'm a big fan of getting together of a meal, since I have to eat anyway, and since you've already met her, you should be able to generate enough conversation to last through a meal.

Depends where you're going for dinner, but I've had a couple nice dates where we went to dinner and then just kinda wandered around the area (sometimes stopped for icecream/coffee) until we had to go home. That way you're not in any fixed time situation, and she can hang out as long as she wants to.

call me a pessimist, but i think it's better to play it by ear... you guys could wind up really not hitting it off, and suddenly that suggestion of doing something after dinner is not going to look so great!

I think dinner dates are marvelous, but can be completely agonizing if you come to find out that you really don't like the person...dinner can seem like an eternity.

Maybe grab coffee, a quick drink, a game of pool? They're all short dates, so you can bail quickly if things start to suck -or- can move on to other places (and extend the date) if things go well.

If she can only meet you for a date during the work week, dinner is just fine. Most restaurants tend not too be overly busy during the week so it shouldn't be too long of a dinner if things shouldn't work out.

Dinner dates aren't a bad idea for a first date. You can always add to the night afterwards if things go well.

Actually, she me last and asked if I could get together this Friday. I cann't since I have to work till about 11pm (someone has to lock the building, right?) and the other 2 people could do it are out of town. soo we are suppose to meet up for the bears game on sunday.

I feel bad but saturday and friday are not good for me this week I hate my job right now.
