max3732 Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 I've been chatting with someone from OLD who lives over an hour away. So far we've been talking about her family, favorite movies/TV shows, and some of her hobbies. She mentioned she is really looking forward to this new movie and it's one I'd want to see anyway. Is it too cliche to invite her to see it and get dinner too? Should I invite her to do something about half way or do I need to drive all the way over there?
kendahke Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 I wouldn't go for a movie for the first 3 dates--why pay money to sit in the dark looking at a screen with someone you're trying to get to know? Take her to one of those escape rooms for a first date--it'll tell you way more about her than glances during a movie will. 2

I've never done an escape room before so I don't want to try something with her I've never done. What about bowling? There is a nice bowling ally with plenty of restaurants within walking distance about halfway

If there is something halfway, that would be good. If the bowling date goes well, you could get dinner afterwards.
Lotsgoingon Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 Movie is fine if you really want to see the movie--independent of going out on a date with her. That way, if you don't like her, you haven't "wasted" any time or energy.
smackie9 Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 I think a movie is fine since she mentioned it. I get it most just do a coffee date for a first meetup, but some are ok with a more traditional type first date. see what she says and go from there.
d0nnivain Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 Half way is fine. Don't do the movie on the 1st date. It does not offer the ability to get to know the other person. First meets need to be quick. Go get coffee or a drink. The escape room would be more fun once you get to know each other more. You can't rely on somebody you don't know plus there are costs involved.
smackie9 Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 (edited) He said dinner then a movie...time to talk over dinner and if that goes well, a movie it is. JMTC If she don't feel comfortable with that I'm sure she will suggest coffee instead. OP hasn't even asked her out yet....the suspense is killing me. Edited April 11, 2019 by smackie9

Well, we've been chatting a bit more and I was set to ask her out until she told me she has a son. This is the 2nd time this has happened with me where I've been chatting with someone online for a while and really look forward to meeting with her and then she drops this on me. The app we met on has a place to put if you have any kids and she left it blank. This is a deal breaker for me so I guess I should send her a message explaining this. I guess I need to ask about children before I invest in and get my hopes up with someone.
