Unique Date Ideas: Get Creative & Have Fun!

On the other hand I'm a jaded jerk who does not exactly has something of a history of rather spectacular relationships (in terms of how disastrous they were) so maybe you shouldn't listen to me...

That's precisely what my welcome e-mail suggested when I joined PF.

I know some of the guys she hangs out with though, and as homosexual as this may sound, they are pretty good looking (judging by what other girls have said). Oh well. Maybe I can convince her otherwise.

On the upside, attractive girls usually lead to more attractive girls, I'm sure some of her friends don't care as much about looks.

wait...what?

You're joking right? Right?

Actually it would be kinda flattering to know they warn newcomers about me right off the bat with the Welcome/Confirmation emails.

edit: Wow, i just reread the part you quoted. I need to proof read after rewording my sentences.

Sorry, but no. The 'joke' portion of my brain was burned off in a tragic house fire. I am incapable of creating or understanding humor.

I went on the date tonight. Probably not going to work out between us. Not because of mistakes, but I asked her how big of a role looks played in her attraction to guys, and she said a big role. I'm not a very pretty person.

If looks are important to her, and she was interested in going on a date with you, that just might mean she DOES think you're good-looking, no matter what you think of yourself. Remember, everyone has different views of what they consider good looking. So, don't just give up based on that...she might have been complimenting you with that answer!

 

[KingNothing]

Well, we never really pre-established whether or not it was a date. I thought it might be, so I planned as such just in case. But, she wore a sweatshirt.

Exactly... Most women don't even give me a second look but there are still a significant number of them that tell me I'm "Hot", not just "good looking" or "cute" but "hot" and it leaves me wondering if they have the right perscription for their glasses.

Brag brag brag.

Well, what had you planned to do? Was a sweatshirt appropriate attire? I dress for dates based on what the planned activities are. If we're going out to dinner, I dress up, if we're going to a movie, jeans and a nice shirt will do, if it's something more active or outdoors, jeans and a sweatshirt may seem more appropriate. Since you were looking for strange ideas of things to do, she probably wasn't expecting dinner and a movie.

Indeed, evening gowns and bumper cars, while fun are usually a recipe for disaster.

Now that would have qualified as a strange date...especially if KingNothing was the one who wore the evening gown.

Try being her friend for a while. Don't be pushy, and do be available for her to talk to for ANY reason. Friends are very nice to have, and even if it doesn't blossom into something more, you can enjoy her company, and if she thinks you're a "nice guy", she will introduce you to her friends - believe me, females know when their female friends are looking for "something more" WAY before the soon-to-be-ex-boyfriend ever gets a clue.

Good luck.

Not bragging. Just saying that you could easily find there are women out there who want to pounce on you and you just don't realize it.
Women tend to have very different ideas of what is and is not attractive. Haven't you ever seen a drop dead gorgeous woman who was dating a guy that looked like something the cat dragged in?
Also women love men with confidence. If you act insecure because you think she isn't going to find you attractive it's possible that she will not find you attractive because you are insecure instead of what ever reason you are imagining.

 

[KingNothing]

You guys have opened my eyes. You know why I'm really happy right now? I just realized something great. I don't understand women very well at all! This is awesome! This means that all the times I think a girl won't go for me, I could be wrong! I love being wrong!

on a more serious note, I agree with you turbo. That's what I'm doing for now. I'll make a few moves and if nothing happens, it's still fun just hanging out.

TSA - oh, yeah I see what you meant now. That's what I'm hoping for...and I agree with you that that's the strange way it is, I just hope I can realize it. Damn women with their damn hints...just come out and say it if you like us! (nude pics by e-mail are a great way to do this)

And what's this about me wearing an evening gown? I should have known you monkeys would get outta hand eventually:P

 

[franznietzsche]

That would not have been a recipe for disaster. Quite the contrary it would have been a recipe for hot steamy romance. Zap Brannigan style. A very sensuous style it is too. Oh yeah.

Thanks for all the good ideas guys. I feel so pathetic when it comes to dating. Which I find incredibly aggrevating since I'm normally pretty good around girls and I'm not shy or anything. I guess I just thought that the only hard part was asking the girl out and that after that things would get easier. No such luck. I think I'll see if she'd like to go to the Mall of America for Cold Stone or something. Anyway, thanks for all the advice I mooched in on, and if you have any more I'd be really appreciative.

Yeah, so I sort of barged in on this thread but it looks like it got dropped a year ago anyway. KingNothing, I hope you and your girlfriend are having a good time if in fact things did work out for the two of you.
