What country are you in? There areally sports gking on in tnat tI'm frame....lol.

...and going to a causal bar...often called a sports bar because they have tvs that mostly show sports....does not mean you have to be a sports fan to step in the door...or even watch sports when you get there.

Take a pub table off in the corner....order your non-cocktail/drink and chat with the woman. Same thing you would do at a coffee shop for the most part.

PS: lots of women are sports fans...but it's not always the first thing we put out there.

I should have said no sports that matter which is baseball and soccer. I did go to a sports bar once on a first date and it was one of the best I ever had.

Funny...I watched x-games, the Belmont, lacrosse. ...and yes some baseball....but I like baseball.

So if going to a place with the atmosphere of a sportsbar....which tends to be low key, low presure, but still energetic, resulted in a good date....why are you so against it?

Because we would both have to be into baseball for it to be a great date. Years ago when I went to a sports bar we went to watch a slam dunk contest and we were both entertained by it because we were basketball fans.

The only sport I'm interested in while on a date is tonsil hockey.

But you are not really there to watch the game...any game!!! It's background...thumb wrestling could be on...it doesn't matter.

Why are you making this a thousand times more complicated then it needs to be?

My rule of thumb was always meet a girl for drinks (or something similar) at a nice place. Get to know her and if we seemed to be hitting it off I would suggest we walk and grab something to eat.

Dinner dates are a huge waste of money.

I've had appetizers and wine, just coffee, or a light meal on a first meet. First dates almost always involved a meal.

The little bit I did with OLD, coffee turned out to be the easiest. About half of the handful of meet ups I tried, went on to involve a second date or a future friendship.

1. Not much money was spent

2. You only met for a hour or two



I been making the mistake of paying for dinner which should only happen after mutual interest has been confirmed and date number 1 has been scheduled. I say date one because the first meeting is a meet and greet not really a date since you are meeting for the first time. I have spent so much money in April and May that I don't even want to go on another date until August-lol I have to realize that the first meet is for me to assess and see if she is someone I would want to see again not just treating all these women to dinner and never hear from them again.


Agree or Disagree?
Surely you know that there's always a chance that you won't see the person again, so if you're that concerned about money, do something cheap or tell them upfront that you want to go dutch.
