Great first dates to ask a lady on!

S
o you’ve spotted her and you know she’s single! You’ve been reading Sex and the Universe and studying the Laws of Attraction so you know the next part is action and that is up to you! However, creativity wins points and, as long as it’s genuine, can be very effective. Where to start?
1. Use what you know about her to set up the first date. Did she spend a semester studying in Europe (France or Spain) and has mentioned it? Find the most authentic French or Spanish restaurant possible and take her there. Or if she has a favorite author that is speaking nearby, invite her to that. Which leads me to…
2. Use the element of surprise. If you know for sure and you are willing to take the chance, every woman dreams of someone showing up with tickets and inviting them somewhere special.
3. Pick something small. A simple coffee or invite for ice cream the first time can be less intimidating than concert tickets.
4. If you are worried about small talk, a movie and dessert is great (less talk involved the first time and you always have the movie to discuss).
5. However, if you know more about her and are comfortable hanging out and chatting, head to the park, a bookstore or for a nice drive for a picnic (yes, you are in charge of packing it).
6. Use your pets! If you both have dogs, ask her if she wants to walk them or go to the dog park with you.
7. Suggest attending a class or workshop together.
8. Be playful (amusement parks-if you you have the stomach for it-are fun
9. Comedy clubs get you laughing and the adrenaline running. Just be aware of who the comedian is and that they aren’t embarrassingly crude for a first date!
10. Something physical and no, I don’t mean that! Hiking, biking, climbing, or something like windsurfing is exciting.
