The Pub - Discuss Anything

So I got the job and am starting on friday... nervous as FUCK!!

Congrats! You will be fine

Where should I go on a first date with a girl?

Dinner. A place where you two can talk and get to know each other

Some girls don't do first dates at parks - especially if they don't know the guy that well

Cinema's are fine but generally they don't allow for talking. If you do that follow it up with something else maybe dinner or ice-cream.

The most important thing is using this date to get to know her to see if you want to pursue the relationship further

You can't beat the Golden Arches mate. Large Big Mac meal with a McFlurry is always a winner.

What taking her out for dinner like the classy fucker I am?

Girls like to talk, they don't like to listen as much. Feed off her talk, ask questions based on that, if she asks your opinion - do so but nothing too extreme unless it is funny. The less you talk about yourself, the more room there is for her fantasy and if she likes you, she will think good things about you. All about the balance I guess and being a bit mysterious. Every girl is different though. Dinner seems fine, Stingray gave a good summary. Good luck!

What exactly do you expect them to be doing at the park?!

Walking and talking duh.......then you reach the secluded area..................................and your head ends up on the milk carton

Clarification - in terms of cultural differences maybe a walk in the park is ideal where you are from. Here not many will do that on the first date, some will but a good bit (those I know) wouldn't

Basically, every girl is different so do something that this girl will appreciate

Lol yeah I guess it's just cultural differences or maybe it's just me! Lunch and a walk in the park is my idea of a perfect date. I've done it countless times with my exes, and I must admit we never got past the walking and talking and sitting part! Either our eastern society is very strict, or I'm just finding out that I'm a big coward!

Your idea.......not necessarily hers'

LOL, I just cant imagine someone choosing a park as their first date!

I think it is a cultural difference and a regional difference. Depends on what you would term a park. One of my favorite afternoon activities is to have lunch with my husband and go for a walk and talk. The nice thing about going for a walk is you aren't trapped a crossed a table and it gives us an excuse to hold hands. we embarrass our kids and occasionally our friends because after 18 years of marriage we still hold hands when we walk or sit at a table in a restaurant.

Took me a minute to figure out what you were talking about. I think we both just have great taste in profile pictures.

I'm kind of walking into the middle of this conversation but while I'm here I'll contribute. I feel like walking in the park would put a lot of pressure on you to carry a conversation since there's not much else going on and if you already went to dinner you may have run out of things to talk about. If the girl is talkative like SinineUltra said it might go alright but if she's shy it could be awkward or at least it would be for me. A movie seems like a good idea, everybody likes movies.

What will I do? I hate the Uni course I'm in and the one I wanted to do, I spoke with some peope with actual experience in the field and it sounds soul crushing.

People have very different opinions on things. The people who you spoke to maybe have had issues in the field doesn't mean that you will. Whatever makes it soul crushing in their description and opinion of it might actually be amazing to you. Remember every one is different. If it is something you really want to do I say go for it. It does not make sense to waste time, energy, effort and money to do something that you have little to no interest in. Look and see if there are any internships/practicums etc where you can experience it for yourself and then make a judgement. See if you can sit in a lecture for the course you want to do basically find a way where you can analyze the situation firsthand and not rely on other people's judgement.
