Make it unique.
I mean, as a AFC I used to think places like the cinema were a simple option as you can take them out, without any sort of pressure to make a connection as most of the time your sat there watching a film. You don't have to make any sort of contact!
HOWEVER, this builds nothing. You don't build much comfort, or kino or anything like that. Plus, think of how many guys do the same thing? I think in the UK it's definitely the most popular place.
Today I took someone to the park with a loaf of bread and sat on the floor feeding ducks whilist talking. It doesn't cost the world, you get to know each other and such and you also don't have to buy her stuff. If she's attracted, she's attracted. Whether you buy expensive things such as meals or not.
After that, we planned on going on roller skating (I encouraged her to be more adventurous in her ideas, and this was hers). Unfortunately, it was closing by the time we got there.
She said it was the strangest date she's been on. But in a good way. If you think about it, is a girl going to remember a date at the cinema like she'll have a 100 times or something different? Be imaginative! If she likes singing, take her kareoke (spelling wrong) etc. It will be a lot of fun.
P.S The girl I took the feed the ducks? I k/closed, which she initiated.
unique dates are the best
