paperboy48 Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 Have know this girl I have been seeing for just over a month. Met her online a fews weeks prior to meeting in person. Anyways, I think we are really getting to like each other. We talk or text everyday and are now seeing each other every weekend. Last weekend we saw each other 3 times over the holiday weekend. I am really liking this girl and I'm pretty confident the feeling is mutual. We have talked about the possibilties of being exclusive but we are not there yet. She has never been to the Christmas Show in NYC, so I would like to take her in a couple weeks. Too soon for this? How about me paying for her? She probably could not afford to spilt this with me. I don't want her to think she owes me something (such as sex - we have not closed that deal yet, taking things slow).
Drseussgrrl Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 Dude. Take her to something other than this awful show. I went last year and it was ALL commercialized. Chase Bank logo was all over this thing. Felt so inauthentic, and cheap. I saw Avenue Q also the same weekend. EFFIN'. HILARIOUS. You guys will have a MUCH better time, then after you can always go ice skating at Bryant Park afterward for the Christmas feel. 1
Drseussgrrl Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 For the record I think it's very sweet that you want to take her - and yes it's totally fine for you to pay for her. She will love the idea. 1

I've never seen the show either and would have loved to see it. Now that you say it's all commercialized I kind of feel sad lol. OP, Bryant Park OR Rockefeller Center. RC has the bigger tree.
Drseussgrrl Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 Yeah I was expecting it to have that old New York Rockettes feel. It was anything but. The off-Broadway shows are always so much better. Oh - and there were a TON of kids so it was rather distracting.
Cutiepie1976 Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) Not too soon! I saw the Radio City Music Hall show for the first time last year. On principle, I had always refused to see it before (looked hokey) but I had a friend visiting from out of town and she wanted to go. I really enjoyed it, which shocked me. It didn't seem commercial to me at all! It's a great date idea for this time of year. Afterwards, you can look at the Christmas tree, walk around getting into the holiday spirit, and even ice skate since it's right there. I did have a date take me to see Wicked (plus dinner). Loved it! He did that as a second date, so no, a month plus out isn't too soon if you're interested in each other. I've seen a bunch of Broadway and off-Broadway shows as early dates, but that one stuck out for me (combination of my connection with the guy and the show itself). I suspect she'll love anything that you do that shows you put thought and effort into planning the date. Ultimately it's about the time she gets to spend with you that matters and that she appreciates. As long a you're trying, whether the show is to her taste will probably matter little to her.

newmoon Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 not too soon - it's a very romantic idea and should make her feel pretty warmly towards you as well. if you're gonna spring for the tickets definitely let her pay for coffee or something afterwards if she offers :-)
Disenchantedly Yours Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 Have know this girl I have been seeing for just over a month. Met her online a fews weeks prior to meeting in person.

I don't want her to think she owes me something (such as sex - we have not closed that deal yet, taking things slow). I think this is a really cool idea. Christmas time in NYC is kind of magical. I saw the Christmas Spectacular years ago and loved it. I don't really know how it is now though. There is always the Nutcracker By the New York City Ballet though. And I know with broadway shows that if you go the day of, you can get discounted tickets. But I am not sure if that works with other shows. As for paying, if you come up with the idea and suggest it, asking her to go with you, then you can not ask her to split it with you. That's really tacky. However, if you don't want to spend the money right now, do more of the tourist things. Take her to Rockerfeller Center to watch the ice skaters. (You could take her ice skating but that does cost money and I think it's rather expensive. There is a rink in Byrant Park though. I'm not sure how much it costs.) The tree should be lighted by then as well so you could take her to see the Tree in Rockerfeller Center too. Take her to see Saks Fith Avenue Christmas Window. Heck, take her to go sit on Santa's Lap in Macys. That Macys is like 8 stories high and pretty cool to see actually. Or you can go to the New York Botanical Gardens. They dress it all up for the holidays. There are so many things you can do that you don't have to spend money on. Just do a little research for an event calendar for NYC.
dasein Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 You live in NYC right? Not flying in for this. Definitely don't travel for that. Would avoid anything in midtown between Thanksgiving and NYE, steer clear. Take her to Lombardi's, get her a slice, she will be putty in your hands. You could get her a nice dinner at Peter Lugar or Nobu for the cost of those tickets to that Radio City thing. EDIT: Strike Lugar, not romantic, but you get the idea.

And, she said "YES" by the way!!
