Well, that's just your opinion. There's no right or wrong way to do these things actually...which is typical of the dating world. Most people these days don't know what the hell they want. lol

One woman I dated, I took her to a classy place for dinner, then later at night to the IHOP for coffee/tea, since the date was going well.

Well, to be balanced it's also simple for the lady to step around the puddle rather than me having to throw my jacket over it. It almost seems like I'm performing some arcane gallantry ritual, and the dry cleaning bills are mounting.

Pretty good analogy, although guy's don't do that anymore. lol. True, have her step around the puddle. These little s**t tests get old.

It does! I still remember it. Little Italian place with the checkered table cloth and black and white pictures on the walls.

When is the last time you threw a coat in over a puddle?


There is nothing arcane about, when you ask someone to do something, having an idea of what you want to do. This isn't really a gender thing. When a woman asked me to go to a movie, or get a drink, I'd be absolutely taken back for her to have no idea what she wants to suggest seeing (why are you even asking then?) or where we should meet for a drink.

This isn't a gallant ritual, but courtesy and having a plan.
One can be absolutely flexible within a plan, but freaking have a plan.


I DUNNO, WATCHA YOU WANNA DO?


Gross.

My point is I've never thrown a coat over a puddle.

Ok, my point is there is nothing arcane, gallant, or ritualistic about making a social plan with someone.


Maybe we're speaking cross purposes.

Weren't we talking about just the first date?

You can spend less and have a great Vietnamese dinner. A date is an opportunity to make an impression about who you are and what you're about, so selecting location matters a lot.
Wait, weren't you the person who said it shouldn't be about the date, it should be about getting to know the person, and you don't need trappings like makeup or whatever to impress one another? Now you're saying you SHOULD make an impression?
