CasualDude10 Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 I met this girl on Instagram last Sunday, got her phone number and gotten to know her a little bit via texting. And yesterday, we agreed that I will pick her up from her house Saturday to go on a date. We are both 22 and I am going to school for Criminal Justice (almost got the Bachelor degree) and she's going to become a Lawyer. I asked her if she ever shot a gun before and she said she went with her Dad and sister but chickened out because she was afraid to shoot. I teased her a bit about it and she laughed. All in all, it was a good conversation and the othr conversations we had flowed well. Now for the date Saturday, I told her to not worry about anything, I have an idea for a fun evening planned, all she has to worry about is looking cute and ready to have a blast. She kept trying to get out of me what we were going to do, but I wouldn't cave (I like to keep them surprised and guessing). So my idea for Saturday is to go to a shooting range, then dinner afterwards OR go out for drinks at one restaurant and go to a different one for dinner. I am not sure if the shooting range is the best idea, I think it'd be fun and it would get her to loosen up and have fun, but then again it could make her uncomfortable! So I am torn, should I do option one or option two? If you have any ideas, send them my way! Thanks

preraph Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 She has said she's afraid to do it, so I don't think a first date is the time for it. If she is afraid with her family, I mean she doesn't even know you. And I don't know if this means you'll be carrying a gun in the car, but I wouldn't want to be on a first date and find out there is a gun in the car. Keep it simple. It's a first date. Good luck. Congrats on the date! Sounds like a fun match, maybe, but it all comes down to face to face chemistry and personality. 3
CaliforniaGirl Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 I make it an unofficial rule not to shoot anything on a first date so I would say, go for just the drinks and THEN if she does express sincere interest (not just the polite interest you show when you first meet someone) make a future date to show her the ropes. That could be fun, once you know each other better, if you both have the interest. Have fun on your date.

Congrats on the date! Sounds like a fun match, maybe, but it all comes down to face to face chemistry and personality. Many people have an irrational fear of guns (thinking nothing about riding in a vehicle down the highway at 60 MPH with gallons of explosive fuel a few feet behind you driven by a stranger). I would love to go on this date with you (but I'm a dude and twice your age lol). However, a first date is too soon to try to make her overcome her fear of firearms. Instead, keep it tame and if you hit it off it would be a great trust building exercise for a future date once she is comfortable with you. Pre - depending on the state he is in they may be able to rent guns at the range and not have one in the car. 1

But she's already said she was afraid, so why make her do it just so you can scare her?
todreaminblue Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 I dont like cutting the heads off live chickens...cant do it.....i chicken out..).i love chicken......frozen ...or alive and running around with heads attached.......... and if i had told a guy that and in good nature he teased me ...i would probably laugh it off too...one thing i do like to do is laugh because it relieves stress and tension.....lessens the amount of cortisol in my system.... just because she laughed doesnt mean in any way it doesnt cause her stress to think about...a fist date should have lower levels of cortisol...scientifically and logically its not the time to introduce a possible high stress situation..... maybe down the track as another poster suggested it would be a good trust date.....do however keep a first date to a minimal time....three hours is good....find out what she would love to do ..what she loves to eat..show some interest.....brainstorm a bit....make the first date memorable for good reasons not stressful ones..make it fun.....and new not generic......fresh and inspiring......and best of luck to you....deb
lionlover1973 Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 That is a very sweet idea but I agree with the others. Down the road - maybe try skeet shooting instead of an indoor range, I've found that the indoor ones are too intense (I was so overwhelmed by the noise my nerves were fried afterwards). But skeet shooting was super fun and as a female, I much preferred the shotgun. Or, you could always try something tamer like laser tag, squirt each other with squirt guns, etc. 1
PogoStick Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 Have a few drinks first to calm her nerves and then take her to the range.
