So, ah... Cleo told me today that I should take her out to a nice dinner. And I could, um, use some help. With everything. I've never done anything like this before! And there are a lot of older folks on here... that have been around the block a few times... and that could help me.

Please?

Been around the block? Sounds like Rummy's area ta me.

[honestly_abe]

Oh, he's been on a lot of nice dinner dates with girls?

[smokingmerc]

Haha, ya could say that.

There ist nothing to be too anxious about. You find ein nice restaurant, pick her up und escort her there, pay for der meal, open all doors, und seat her like ein gentleman. You have to let things go on from there und just be yourself. If she can't accept you for who you are, then she's not worth going after.

[honestly_abe]

The thing is, I'm already dating her, so I guess she's worth going after?

[herr_doktor_13]

Just because you're dating her doesn't make her worth going after. If she tries to change you, or you find yourself trying to change for her, then it's not going to work.

But you know, come to think of it, I did give you der list for out-dated dating. Girls aren't turned on by chivalry anymore.

Oh I see what your doing here.

Oh yeah get her a scale too. Cause she's oh so conscious of her weight. She'll appreciate it so much.

And if you go somewhere really expensive make her pay or at least split the bill. Modern girls hate to have the man do everything.

[honestly_abe]

They do? Well, I guess you'd know since you're a girl and all...

[honestly_abe]

You think so? I think Joan would be more into the inventive thing...

I know, I'll ask Joan to come along! We haven't done anything together in a long time.

Dude, go to some expensive restaurant. Like the ones you have to make reservations at and that have valet parking.

And hopefully that'll be the only time you have to do it. Because otherwise they'll just be all clingy and whine about going out to that fancy restaurant again. And then it's just a pain.

[honestly_abe]

Cleo'd never be clingy and whine or a pain! I just want to treat her like... like a real man should!

[croozin]

You say that now, but that's how pretty much how most girlfriends end up. "Oh, let's go to the fancy restaurant again! I want to start a family! Let's go watch The Notebook!"

And before you know it, you're the only guy stuck in there while everybody else is watching some better movie in the room next door. But then you just pretend you have to go to the concessions stand and go watch the other movie instead. So...guess it all works out. Although some chick flicks? Actually pretty funny.
