smg15 Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 I am not a huge fan of dates on a sunday and always thought of it as a day to relax and unwind from the work week. I was supposed to go on a date today but my mom took me to a bed store out of nowhere on Thursday and they delivered it today. So that's why the date was pushed back to Sunday because it was no telling when the bed would be delivered today. I normally only like going out on sundays if I am off on Monday but this one time I will make an exception because of the bed. Anyone else like going on SUNDAY DATES?
Gloria25 Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Sunday date? I can't recall ever doing one. Nooo, no way. Now, in the summer, they do have like concert series and I used to go out with guys on Sundays, but that was a while back I like/prefer Saturdays - especially for a first date. But, my schedule gets crazy at times, so I've become more flexible over the years.

Yeah me too, but since we been talking on the phone like 2 weeks I just decided to step outside of my zone and meet for sunday brunch. I have a 4 day weekend coming up and my plan is to go out on saturday and Monday lol Sunday I plan to chill and of course tuesday I will be chilling 1
fitnessfan365 Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 I always avoid weekend dates until I get a bit more serious with a woman. In general I consider it "me" time. Saturdays I do an intense outdoor workout with a buddy of mine (he's a trainer too) and usually do dinner Sat night with the folks and my brother. Then Sunday I catch up on sleep and watch movies.

So you rather date during the week in the evenings? I would be open for that more once June and July gets here.
fitnessfan365 Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 So you rather date during the week in the evenings? I would be open for that more once June and July gets here. Weeknights are PERFECT for keeping it casual until you get more serious. The dates are shorter which leaves her wanting more. The dates always take place at night which sets up sex at the end of the evening once you start having it. Plus, since she has work the next day, she'll never spend the night. I save that for when I'm more serious with a woman. Once I get more serious with her, I start opening up weekends, doing longer dates, having her spend the night, etc. It's my way of showing her that she's special and earned more time with me. Giving away more of my time and sleepover privileges to a woman I barely know isn't how I role.
Penguin_hugs Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Depends what you are doing on the date- my and my BF have no problems with Sunday day time dates- like museums and beach walks etc. I can see evening dates being more of a problem though if you need to get ready for work the next day 1
Phoe Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 I actually can't tell you what day of the week any of my past dates fell on. Never thought about it. 1

If we had met today it was going to be while the sun was still out like around 3pm/4pm. I decided not to meet at night for the first date anymore

Saturdays I do an intense outdoor workout with a buddy of mine (he's a trainer too) and usually do dinner Sat night with the folks and my brother. Then Sunday I catch up on sleep and watch movies. Well, I don't mind weekends, cuz usually - until I'm for sure about dude, our first dates are gonna be simple. I also prefer weekend dates, cuz usually I plan to go somewhere else with or without him (i.e. dancing at the club). So, if it works out, we'll be having an exciting evening and I got Sunday to rest and catch up with stuff. If it doesn't work out, I go out and still enjoy my Saturday evening and still wake up Sunday rested and relaxed. But, maybe I need to reconsider first meets during the week, cuz on Saturdays, while I try to take care of most of my chores during the week, sometimes I have stuff to do on the weekends and by the time I sit down and have something to eat and turn on the TV, it's hard for me to get motivated for a first date - especially with an OLD meet. I've cancelled a few times going out on Saturdays once I sit down for something to eat But, then again, I've tried Fridays and when I come to work all dolled-up I hate people noticing that I'm gonna have a date afterwards. With traffic where I live, I prefer to just go to work all cutesy and then meet up after work instead of going home and changing.

d0nnivain Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Especially in the summer, Sunday night is date night for DH & me. All sorts of things are usually competing for our attention other days but an early al fresco dinner to watch a Sunset is our favorite time before we jump back into the work week but I can see why it would be stressful as an early in the relationship date.

Gloria you crack me up and every time I see that smirky smile in your profile pic it makes me smile. The idea of a woman canceling a first date/meet so she can eat and watch TV is awesome. My type of woman. BTW - It doesn't sound like you dress like a prude if you're in club gear or people know you're going on a date. You made it sound like you're rocking turtle necks which is the grannie panty of female attire. Weekday nights really are ideal for casual dating. Especially for OLD.You have an automatic out if it sucks with saying you have to get up for work, and it it's great, you're left wanting more for next time.
guest569 Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 The laid back ways of Sundays are the very reason I think they are perfect for a leisurely, relaxed first date. A coffee shop on a Sunday afternoon or a stroll through the park. Very nice.. not stressing about the day I've had at work, or rushing around to get ready. 1

I prefer that too if I meet on a friday but the job I have now doesn't allow me to do that because we close at 5pm. I used to be able to stay at work and leave to go to the date but now I have to go home and change
d0nnivain Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 smg & Gloria Why do you both feel like you have to go home from work to change before going on a weeknight date? I understand if you do something physical for work or work where there are smells so you need to shower, but business attire is perfectly OK for an after work date, even a casual one because both parties knew they worked all day. If you want more casual, can't you just change in the bathroom at work or in your office if you have walls & doors?

I wear business attire but since my job closes at 5pm I would not be able to go straight to the meeting spot. The last 2 jobs I had I was able to stay as late as I wanted but not with my current job.

If you want more casual, can't you just change in the bathroom at work or in your office if you have walls & doors? Oh, me? I dress like a prude when I go to work. I do not dress to get attention. I wear none or minimal make up. Baggy/loose clothing. Hair in bun. Flats and less than an inch heels....definitely NOT how I want to go on a date. When I go on a date, I put on my nice lotions, perfume, sexy undies, make up, sexy clothing (even if its just a jeans and nice top). I also wear heels. Changing in the bathroom at work? Nah, same effect as me coming there all dolled up...people see you leaving work dolled up - so why go through the hassle of changing at work. For that, I'll just come dolled-up, which I don't like doing cuz it gets people's attention. Now, when it comes to gym. Yeah, there was a time that cuz of my schedule, I'd change at the gym - but I don't change at the gym and/or work to go on a date. BTW, I push pencils for a living, so not like I get all nasty and sweaty at work.
d0nnivain Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Sorry. I didn't realize it was a time on your hands issue. I misunderstood & thought it was a wardrobe issue. Depending on the logistics, like the meeting is east of your office & you live west, when faced with that dilemma I would try to work in a quick errand like shopping for non-perishables, picking up my dry cleaning, returning a library book when people still did that etc.
