Mature Personals

First dates are a little… interesting. You and your partner in crime for the evening decide to meet at a local watering hole for a brewski (that’s Polish for beer). You are the first one there. Circle One: Do you: A) Grab a seat at the bar and order your first drink or B) Sit by the door and wait for them to get there I hope that you put your finger up to your computer screen and drew a little make believe circle around letter A. If you choose option B, it adds to the awkwardness around the first ‘Hello’. Here are the options for the initial greeting and my take on what they mean… Handshake - “Hey, I want to play nice… but I don’t know about you”.

It seems to me that girls like taller guys ( for the reason you stated above and also so they can wear heels comfortably – not comfortably for your feet but so that you ‘fit’ next to him ). I have noticed that taller girls get upset when a shorter girl is dating a taller guy. It’s as if the taller girls wants to call dibs on the really tall guys since there are less available in their height range and the short girl is taking him away.

As for a first date, I have already spoken to the fact that first dates have the possibility to be a little awkward and how an exit strategy needs to be in place. With that said, I know that having a whole meal of food, is a typical first date idea. Thinking of places that are acceptable and still shows a little bit of your character is what is key. I don’t think picking up the check for the first meal and seeing it just shy of 100 bucks is the goal, but try to shy away from places that rhyme with Dead Mobster or Shmolive Shmarden. These are the places you go in college with friends or with your guys to get your hands on the second most sought after title, right behind the Fantasy Football bragging rights for dominating the league even after your first pick, pretty boy Tom Brady, gets hurt in the first quarter of the season. This semi-annual title consists of eating the most bowls of pasta in the name of gluttony and manliness when they have the never-ending pasta bowl. The caveat to going to a fine establishment such as this is if your first date is also part of a scavenger hunt and you need to get a picture of someone wearing a scrunchy or sporting a sweet mullet and the state fair isn’t in session. (Side Note: the adjective sweet need not be used in association with mullets because we all know that is already a given.)

The most important part is picking a place that shows a little of your personality and style in it. I am not suggesting taking a date to a place that has a lot of brah’s (Definition taken directly from urbandictionary.com: brah: Possbily the most annoying term that stupid college/high school guys use to talk to their friends. It’s slang for bro which is short for brother. Neither or either of the latter need any abbreviation or slang because they’re stupid terms to refer to a friend to begin with.) who sport their new haircuts and whose favorite things include Muscle Milk and Jagerbombs …. Unless that is your style. If you are taking someone to a place that is way out of your price range or you don’t even like the type of ethnic food they are serving, you aren’t being yourself. If food is going to be involved, try a place like Buffalo Wild Wings to see if the other person can get their hands dirty and let loose a little or your local neighborhood bar or mom and pop restaurant that is known for their burgers. These locations are pretty comfortable and will show your creativity. Remember, a girl likes a guy with a plan and that can come up with something to do instead of always leaving it up to her. Give her a few options if you don’t know her style. Another idea is to go to a place you have been before. You will probably be more comfortable. Don’t listen to your mother. Say ‘Hi’ to strangers. You may be surprised by who you meet!

The High Five – Only acceptable if you follow it up with a “down low, too slow” and the other party gets to punch you directly in the face or turn around and walk out the door. The Fist Pound – “You might as well just leave now or order a couple rounds of Tequila just to forget about how ridiculous that was.” If the Prez can do it, can’t you? NO! The Lloyd Christmas – If you can pull it off, more power to you. A hug (of the 2 second duration variety) – “Very nice to meet you! Now let’s grab a drink already.” Don’t do the Ass Out hug like you are at a seventh grade dance and try to avoid the awkward handshake that turns into a hug. The first hello is what sets the tone of the whole night (and possibly relationship). If you have gotten to the point of going on a date, you are at the point to step in and give a hug and say ‘Nice to meet you’ or ‘Nice to see you again’. Don’t listen to your mother. Say ‘Hi’ to strangers. You may be surprised by who you meet!
