alexlakeman Posted September 28, 2010 Posted September 28, 2010 When I meet a new date or even when dating someone, if we end up meeting at a bar or restaurant I just wait for her outside, figure it's d right thing but sometimes Sometimes I feel like just waiting for them at d bar, but doesn't sound right - u know she has to go in there and search for you. Thoughts? Wait for the woman outside or at the bar?
atlnay Posted September 28, 2010 Posted September 28, 2010 I rather the guy wait inside for me and I usually call and have him guide me to him. We usually end up laughing through the phone call.
Star Gazer Posted September 28, 2010 Posted September 28, 2010 You know, before now I'd never given this question a second thought. But now that I think about it, it would be really nice if he waited outside and was already there when I got there. But it doesn't hurt to wait inside either. Just call/text her to let her know where you are sitting (if it's crowded). Wait outside. And be there early. I'm not surprised...
Kamille Posted September 28, 2010 Posted September 28, 2010 I'll assume you live in a temperate climate. I grew up in Canada. I vote inside.
jerbear Posted September 28, 2010 Posted September 28, 2010 It depends, sometimes the flower has to be given to her outside and she can carry it inside. It has to be timed right. Most of the time one of us (usually me) waits at the bar. She'll call / text and I will be near the door.
bobdole Posted September 28, 2010 Posted September 28, 2010 Personally I think its polite for me to arrive early and get a table before she arrives. I was referred to as weird by one girl for doing that and another said she was uncomfortable with meeting me inside. Oh well - I've started meeting them outside but I still get there about 10-15 minutes early.
carhill Posted September 28, 2010 Posted September 28, 2010 My personal MO, as I didn't have a cell phone the last time I dated many years ago, is to arrive outside at the appointed time and, if the lady is not present momentarily, call her and let her know I will meet her inside when she arrives. If at a restaurant where I've made reservations, I'll advise the host/hostess who's seated me that a lady will be joining me and to guide her to our table. If I know her drink preference and that she'll be arriving shortly, I'll order it up for her, so it arrives when she does. If she stiffs me, and that has happened, I dine alone. Big world, lots of other interesting people. Life goes on.
