Vintage Date???

[C-dot]

I prefer museums (that's where my man and I went for our first), or something that's impossible to take too seriously, like mini-golf or bowling.

Or playing pool! Laughing creates a strong bond really fast

Dude, don't have a nervous breakdown over the outfit. Look nice, bring her flowers, and have a good time. Be a gentleman, that's the most best vintage thing you can be.

I like you. You speak such good sense!

Chas: I had the same first thought, but I think what he means is that their date will have a vintage theme or style, and that that'll want to do something and go places as old fashioned as possible. Nice idea.

Oh my the pressure of a themed date! I stay married to avoid dating - the thought of going on a themed one is agonising!

I guess with age comes wisdom. [huh]

My thoughts exactly. I have enough trouble as it is, but to slap a theme on it - oh god.

Amen!

Sorry to some of the gents here, but a theme 'vintage' date sounds like fun! That might be going to a play that has a 30s or 40s theme, or listening to big band music in an old hotel that has an art deco decor, or seeing old movies shown on the big screen in a restored movie palace. Oh, can you perhaps foxtrot or rhumba, or sing to the standards? My Mr. and I met in a Beg. Foxtrot class, and he sang along (for me) to "Ain't that a Kick in the Head" when it came on for practice music in the class!

Being a gentleman and picking up the tab too (how old fashioned is that!) will win you points. Being well groomed and well dressed are good things...

I dunno, any time I've bought stuff for them like flowers on the first meeting. I never see them again. I think it makes them uncomfortable. I'd maybe save that for the third time you see them. If she turns out to be a dud on the first date and you never hear from her again, you'll kick yourself for putting a deposit down for nothing. Third date flowers let her know you take her serious and want to keep her and what a smooth criminal you are.

If a woman doesn't see a man again because he paid for something, she's a moron or she was looking for a free gift. In other words, it's not you Travis

 

[Travis Lee Johnston]

Knowing me it probably was me.

 

[C-dot]

With this talk of third date flowers, picking up tabs, and being a smooth criminal, it cannot be you.

If it is, then I am officially the last sane person on the planet.

Well a lot of girls are goofy and don't go for the vintage look.

They want something closer to this...

 

[rue]

Anyone that is interested in that has to be insane :eeek:

^Sadly, this is true^

ah, yes. Guidos Please refer to the good 'ol www.urbandictionary.com

A sad pathetic excuse for a male; not necessarily of Italian descent, but most likely; usually native to the New York/New Jersey Tri-State area.

WARDROBE: tight zipper shirts, tracksuits, designer jeans, fuzzy kangol hats, tiny hoop earrings, fake gold chains, and related Euro-trash garb and tacky cheese-wear.

NATURAL HABITAT: Known to frequent Tri-State area malls looking for club gear to waste their week's pay on (most likely spotted shopping at "Bang Bang" in Staten Island). During the day when not at their food delivery, telemarketting, or construction job, can be located at their local gym tanning or lifting weights

Nothing says vintage manliness like hair gel, tweezed eyebrows, shiny jeans, and looking like a burnt orange.

Oompa loompa extras for a re-re make of Willy Wonka? Look on the bright side. Think of how much their grandchildren are going to laugh at those pictures!

Do you really want to know what their grandchildren are going to look like??? :eeek:

I'm an optimist . I picture their grandchildren as the mid-21st century version of the Victorians, wearing high collars and gloves. And hacking into the network to delete any sartorial or video evidence that their forebearers were morally and intellectually stunted.

I see you live in the same mindset as me!

Sometimes I go and re-read The Diamond Age. I find it oddly comforting.
