A Guide to Nerd Guys Meeting and Dating Women: What to do Part 2
So we now have an idea what to avoid in general. This, of course, begets the question of what to actually do?
Creativity helps, at least when it comes to suggesting something. The weird thing is I have come up with some great ideas that always seem to impress the women, yet somehow we always seem to end up just having dinner and maybe a movie. It’s like they want to be impressed with whatever you come up with, but when actually faced with doing it they end up not really wanting to put in the work. Dating can be a lot of work, and I guess women, in their own way, are generally as lazy as guys.
With that in mind, feel free to come up with all kinds of wacky stuff. In general, first dates should be something physical and preferably outdoors. Hiking, ice skating, and bike riding are good if she does any of those. Bowling, roller skating, and pool is OK for the right girl, but in general you want to save that for a later date. Whatever you do, make sure you have room for a meal, preferably beforehand, as once they have been fed I have found a lot of women like to blow off the physical activity and just hang out.
If she is not inclined towards physical activity (or you are just not capable) get creative. Museums are great, especially if you can find some really cool exhibit. One of the best dates I ever did was I took a girl to a pottery class and we made really bad bowls. It was a ton of fun. A first date should allow plenty of time for you both to talk (although, in general, let her talk more), be somehow stimulating, be safe (avoid areas where you could get mugged. Nothing turns a girl off more on a first date than watching you cave in to some thug and hand over your wallet and her purse), and hopefully scenic (if you are taking her on a bike ride or hike make sure the view is spectacular).
Again, these are just the super creative things you need to suggest. Odds are after being impressed with your ideas she will steer the date into dinner and/or a movie.
Ice skating is fun! (Blades of Glory shirt image courtesy of the movie t shirt category)
