XxJustMexX Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 That would be cool... not too fancy... and comfortable... Places like these take the pressure off in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Snap Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I think if this is a first meet like someone you met off of a dating site that's perfect and probably way preferable to a full blown date on fri or sat night. If this is a girl you have been trying to get to know in real life, however, and you already know each other, already know that there is 'something there" fun and flirty, and there's a good vibe about one another, then a nicer date on a real date night for dinner or something might send a better message that you really are into her. In other words if you know her, have been courting her for awhile and finally asked her out and she said yes you don't want to take the chance of her thinking you don't like her all that much by not putting much thought at all into it. And it's not about money. You don't have to go to a place and spend a small fortune, but if she sees you put 'thought' into the plans that will be a nice touch. If you go for a weeknight she might think she isn't 'date night material'. But if its a first meet up from a dating site, then yes, its perfect.

jengh Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Sounds great to me. Being outside, casual, relaxed... love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sophie274 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Sounds great to me, even if you've already known her for a little while. If happy hour goes well you can always decide on the spot to follow it up with dinner as well, or stay at the patio a long time and have some food there.

True, but in that case I still suggest a Friday or a Saturday. If I had known the guy awhile, I might feel that he chose a weeknight so as to not have to stay out later with me if the evening got on well - a lot of people don't want to stay out very late on work nights. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BriarRose Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I think weeknight is fine if it's a meetup from an on-line dating site, but if you have already "met", she may feel you are "sqeezing" her into your schedule if you don't ask to see her on a weekend night. I have always preferred to be asked out for the weekend (unless it's a meetup, like I said). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I knew the guy well and we'd been flirting and getting to know each other, and then he asks me out, I won't lie, i'll feel kind of funny if it is mid week. It's not a deal breaker, but since OP asked for opinions just giving some food for thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmupike26 Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 I met her in the gym and initiated conversation. We talked for a while then she offered me her number so it's no exactly a first meet but I don't know a ton about her either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
