consumed Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Here's the deal. My mom hate's me taking the car, but sometimes I just need it. I've been on my parents to add me to the insurance again so I can use it the odd time. Yes I have my full license. Well incase which it may happen that I don't get added before this weekend I wanted to ask your opinion on renting a small limo, (one up from a taxi) to pick my date up in? I'm 24 I work full time, she's 19. I've known people who did it and they say it went over ok but I just wanted to ask some of you. What would you think if your date picked up in a limo. (Not the long one, just something nice like an airport taxi.) Thanks.
blind_otter Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 I would feel weirded out. But one of my rules is that any potential mate has their own transportation. Hey, it's like required for most types of employment....
Author consumed Posted January 23, 2006 Author Posted January 23, 2006 I was thining of renting a car but that would be alot more costly for one night.
alphamale Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 i would advise against the limo for 3 reasons: 1) you'll come off as trying to impress too hard (and desperate) 2) trying to top yourself for date #2, #3, etc....will be hard 3) she may think that you want to get "busy" with her in the back seat
TheSwordfish Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 In my opinion it is a bad idea. I like picking her up by foot, or even by bike. You are the limo mate, on a first date it should be plain old you (looking your best though). It is about getting to know each other. Don't try to impress here to much. Use a cheap assed taxi instead. To much on the first date raises expectations or might make you look like someone that wants to show off.
bluetuesday Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 no limo for me either. a limo is just trying waaaaaay to hard to impress - by using something that isn't that impressive to girls. manners are impressive. you looking clean is impressive. you taking her to somewhere she would like is impressive. pick her up in a regular taxi.
clandestinidad Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 LIMO's....BLLLEEEEHHHHHHHH hope thats nuff said

Ms_Sweetness Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Limo's are soo outdated. It would definately seem like you are trying too hard. If a guy picked me up in a limo on the first date I would probably think he was strange.

loony Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Bring her a bouquet with 100 red roses and wear a tuxedo, that should do it to make her run away as fast as she can.
BlahBlahQueen Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 If you were to show up in my driveway in a limo, the side-splitting laughs would never end
