Call him and tell him to check between his legs, and tell you if there is anything there or not. A 34 year old man, who knows what he's doing - would have called you in advance and said something along the lines of "We'll meeet at xyz for dinner/drink/a cup of coffee at 7 oclock and then we'll go to see a show/movie/midget boxing. See you at 7".

Exactly. This isn't rocket science. Also, women like a man with a plan.

Normally I'd be inclined to agree, but look how many posters on here complain about their dates.
"you'll never guess where he tried to take me" etc, etc, etc.

Speaking as a man, you're never quite sure which half of the spectrum you're dealing with.

OK, so its her loss. Whats the big deal? I mean you have to be responsible and reasonable also. If youre dating someone who is 48, you obviously dont want to take them to a death metal concert, followed by hanging out with your homeless heroin junkie buddies, underneath the bridge. AS a man, you supposed to be sure of what youre doing, and worrying about which half of the spectrum youre dealing with, should never enter your mind. Be asseretive and if she likes you enough, she will enjoy herself anywhere with you. I usualy try to get a good read on what type of woman im delaing with, so by the time I plan a date, i have a vague idea of what type of plans to make. It really isnt rocket science.

I'm with Bobman on this one. Should the guy approach you with a plan? Sure he absolutely should. But he doesn't want to take you somewhere you don't like or do something you won't enjoy. It doesn't really warrant coming on here and trashing the poor guy.

If he asked you what you felt like eating why didn't you just tell him? How about making a suggestion? It's not too hard. Here watch me:

"I feel like Mexican"

WOW that was easy and even short enough to fit into a single text message

I don't necessarily approve of this guy's flip-floppy nature, but come on people.

Do women really complain on here about where guys take them to dates? It would have to be pretty bad for a first date, wouldn't it? I'm not a snob at all, but if it's Taco Bell for the first date, there's probably not gonna be a second one. Beyond that I don't have any requirements.

However, if I get a unilateral announcement from a guy that we're going to meet at such and such a place at such and such a time, I'm gonna be a little bristly. There needs to be some back and forth and collaboration in my opinion - after all, that's what I'm looking for in a relationship. A guy who's going to charge ahead as if my preferences and opinions don't matter isn't showing me behaviors I'm going to find desirable in a partner. I've been an adult in charge of my life for 18 years - I want a partner not a leader. I'm not in the military, fer cryin' out loud.

Just say "Let's go bicycling at XYZ trail and then we'll go eat at ABC place. Let me know if that's not ok" This is not rocket science.

That too... but once you've given suggestions, and decided on a day, and you are still waiting for him to make up his mind as to what time? and where out of all those suggestions? what is there to do? just move on I guess...
