[Filtered to any man who has successfully wooed a woman... except Lucifer. Who probably has managed that at least once BUT WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR HIS ADVICE, OKAY?!]

I am taking my girlfriend out on our first official, proper date.

It has to be good. And I mean actually good.

I'm from Dublin, and lived in the UK. To us a proper date is a pack of Doritos and a pint down the pub. I'm figuring I need to be far more impressive.

Someone give me some advice here, how do I take her on a date worthy of how amazing she is?

	Okay so what does she like to do? Gotta admit my winning the girl took time, effort, a mystical seal and loosing everything I ever wanted. But she generally likes when I take her somewhere nice, just us, focus on her, dinner, walking in the evening, all of it (Reply to this) (Thread)

In terms of us hanging out, I know all the things she likes to do. But actually taking her out, that's different. And I'm not even sure if she knows, since we're both trying to make sure this relationship is different to things we've screwed up in the past.

Did you get back what you wanted? Or did you have to redefine what it was you wanted from life?

So candlelit dinner isn't completely cheesy?

Oh you put the effort in. Don't make it just another night in. Tell her to get all dressed up, pick somewhere fancy.

I got the only prize that mattered. Just took me a long time to realize it was her and not the titles or the money.

...of course here I'm taking back the title. Who says you can't have it all

Its not cheesy if its done right. Though if you have someone singing 'That's Amore' then you've crossed a line

	Fancy dinner. I can do that. ~~and not eat the public~~ Treating her like a lady. Titles and money are nice and all, but someone who will actually stick by you through the bad times as well as the good is worth a lot more. Hey, good on you. I wouldn't even know how to find someone to sing that damn song anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	But is the whole wining and dining thing too cliche? The things I would normally do when taking a woman out has never exactly worked. For various reasons. I want to do it right this time, make Lydia feel completely worshiped, because she's amazing. So I think that means doing something different. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That doesn't mean it's not enjoyed. It's a cliche for a reason. Though somehow I think with Lydia you're on the right track there. Different is good. And try not to over think it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You need a less sarcastic answer than one involving potatoes don't you? You know what to do Mitchell. More I expect than I would nowadays (Reply to this) (Thread)

	...what really? You'd have to actually pay attention. Honestly, I still don't know. It definitely wasn't the 'first blood in 50 years' first date (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
