My ideal first date, going to the mall to meet that awesome woman for the first time. Its safe and you can get to know them and see what kind of cool clothes they like to wear.
The last time I did this, I dated the woman for 4 years and we broke it off cause she wanted to have kids and I wasn't ready at the time.
Work relationship is not the way to go, I did that years ago and got burnt bad my people that were jealous of me.
Good to know that there are other guys in this state like myself who are looking for more then just getting laid. Anybody can do that but not everybody is capable of having deeper relationships, those are the kind of women that are great. Of course this is only my opinion cause I enjoy things with meaning.
I haven't been that luck over the last few years but I am starting over and trying different things to see if things change for me.
I think the more people I can talk to, then the better chance I'll have of hitting it off with someone and then meeting them in person.
Then the more people I meet, the more comfortable I'll get in the dating scene again.
I do believe though that there is somebody for everbody, its a matter of being persistent and seeing enough people so you have the chance to pick that one person that you have a strong interest in.
For me its always been more about a womans character then the looks but there does have to be a spark though.
So the more women I can see then the better chance of a spark happening.
Of course this is just one mans opinion and my way of handling the situation.
RE: GUY and looks
For me, I need to feel a physical attraction and if thats there then I need to see what kind of character they have.I would rather hang out with an average looking girl with great character then a hot girl with no character.
