I just saw another question, and i was jsut wondering, if that called a date in sense of your culture, if you are NOT from America (USA) please state your country.  So, if you see me going out with a girl alone, we dress well, having dinners, lunches, movies, shoppings, going home of each other. are you going to say it's a date?  what do you think if you are a guy & a girl go with you lots like that, does she dating you?

i used to ask myself the same question about some chick....but yeah as much as you would like to think you're dating you're not dating unless you call it a date....but it seems you're close enough to the girl...so start making some moves man, i'm sure she wont mind...you know little things and stuff, try to make it offical and just talk to her about...i know my other friend was worried he might ruin it friendship by asking his best friend out...but i believe you got nothing to lose and all to gain

I've met a lot of people on a dating website.  Some guys are just on it to find some girl that they can have sex with.  Some guys are on there to find mr/mrs right.  I have met both types.  I met my current boyfriend off of a dating website, and I can see me being with him for the long haul.  We talked a fair amount online, then we started chatting on MSN, and then we talked ont he phone.  It sounds a little funny but our first date, wasn't that much of a normal date (movie/coffee), I needed a lift to our mall, cause my vehicle was busted and needed to get fixed and he offered me the ride.  We have almost been together ever since and talk every day.  You just have to be careful, and don't let the bad ones ruin it for you.

The first time I asked a guy out we went rollerblading in the park and then went out for a casual dinner. Keep it light and don't try to be all  romantic. Just see how you feel being alone with him the first time. If you keep your date filled with activities you will never run out of stuff to talk about and you won't have those awkward moments people get on first dates when they are all dressed up at some snooty restaurant. Have fun!

Why are you being so insecure? he asked you out so of course he wants to go out with you. If u act iunsecure it could turn out wrong, I understand it takes time for a girl be become confident with herself, but you need to go into this date feeling like he is lucky to be going out with you. Dont be ruude or cocky though, just be yourself and have fun.

I would prefer an arm around me at the movies. Because if you are holding hands, the guys usually start sweating. It makes a girl feel comfortable to lean on him (in your case, you) and it makes us girls feel safe and protected with her man holding her. Do you get what I mean??? Well good luck. I am so far guessing this is your first date. I hope everything goes well.

Surely you can afford to take a young lady for dinner, shame on you if you are that cheap and don't want to.  It shows alot when you want to spoil someone a little, and selfishness surely says alot about someone. But later on a nice picnic a girl makes won't cost you anything, nor a walk so yes at first it doesn't hurt to spoil someone if you really like them and they are worth it. Then you can take turns.  I once went out on a first date with someone I really liked, I discovered they were overly stingey, while I am not, there was no second date.

Like I tell everybody, I think that you should call whenever you get the feeling.  I hate how people make dating into a game.  There is no certain amount of time that you should wait.  Just because you waited a week doesn't mean that's the reason it didn't work out.  If the moment is right between two people and if they are feeling the vibe of each other, then it doesn't matter.

I'm having the same problem myself. The way I decided to solve my problem, was to be great friends, but casual daters. If you value your relationship (as friends and lovers) talk about it...over chinese food or pizza or something. Really talk about if you think the relationship will last more than a month and what would really change once you 'officially' started dating. would there really be a difference in how you act around each other other than physically (i.e. hand-holding, kissing, etc.)?

Depends on whether the guy / girl looks only at the body for their definition of a date. If that's the case, then no. If not, then it's possible, though your "personality" thing has got me in a bind. It just takes a lot of appreciation, respect, and oh yeah, maybe a different date helps. ^_^

I think it's wonderful that you want to make it so special, that shows a lot about your character, it is for that reason that I say be yourself.  Not many would go to such great lengths to make a date so special so there must be a lot more to you for her to see.  Don't try to hard to impress or your true self will get lost.  That's the beauty of having character, it outshines all attempts to impress.

Depends on the guy and the situation.  I have some friends who think a girl that puts out on the first date is not worth going out with agian, and I have friends who have had sex on the first date that are or were involved for a long time with that one person.  There is no right answer here, like I said it depends on the guy and the situation..Hope this is of some help...

You should never be uncomfortable with the person you are dating.  I think you know the answer to this...Dating is supposed to be fun and relaxing.

To some people, lunch is just that. Lunch.\n\nIt's not a promise of anything more, it's just something that friends do.  Women enjoy talking, and they like having some company.  Just because someone's in a relationship doesn't stop them doing that.\n\nAs a male I would go to lunch with anyone I want to spend time with - male or female, married or single - with no question of anything more than that.  It wouldn't be a 'date', just less boring than eating on my own.

Anything is a good date food, unless it's something she is allergic to or doesn't like.  Girls have the best eating habits on first dates, we act so cute like we are not hungry or like we actually chew our food 32x's before we swallow and have the best manners.  But when we get comfortable with a guy, eating together is like eating with the guys!

I think you need to know all the medical facts before asking this girl out.  If she has questions she wants answered it won't look too good, if you don't know the answers yourself.  You're right though, you don't want to get involved with someone and then go, "Hey, guess what?!" Just in case they freak.  No need to mention it on the first date, but second date for sure.

Come on people tell the truth. Girls also like to kiss on the first date. Because if that doesn't occur, they'll be sitting around all weekend wondering if you guys found them desirable.
