The location for a first date is important for women to understand, and the last thing they want is to be in any location that feels rushed, too impersonal, too intimate or requires no effort. Without mentioning any brands or businesses, here are 10 places women secretly wish guys to stay away from on a first date.
10 Places Women Secretly Hate on a First Date
1. Fast-Food Restaurants
Fast-casual or similar restaurants can lend themselves to feeling insincere or devoid of real effort, making the time feel average and cheap.
2. Movie Theatres
Going to a movie does not lend itself to being able to connect meaningfully, and just results in that awkward silence.
3. Someone’s Home
It can seem unsafe meeting someone at their house, or just too intimate, with no real boundaries.
4. Family events
Having to meet families/extended family on a first date can feel overwhelming. There is enough, already, on the line, without the huge added pressure of meeting family.
5. The Gym
Gyms are uncomfortable and unromantic, and it’s hard to strike up a conversation.
6. Cafes for Quick Drinks
When you bring coffee or ice cream into overly casual venues, it can feel rushed and removed from any special vibe.
7. Nightclubs and Noisy Bars
In noisy, crowded environments, the distraction will not allow you to connect; informal connection cannot take place authentically in that situation.
8. Buffet Style Eating
Buffet style eating is often messy and chaotic, lacking refinement and intimacy-a far from ideal attributes to create a first impression.
9. Sporting events
Crowds can make personal interactions challenging. Engaging in conversation is typically difficult as your attention is divided and there may be interruptions.
10. Places with Long Travel Times
Anything that requires a long traveling distance can feel uncomfortable, especially if it is with someone you are just getting to know. Other variables may develop as you may not find that person safe at that distance.
Choosing a place for your first date should be mindful of comfort, respect, and a clear, genuine effort. Avoiding these types of places can help you set the tone for a more positive and memorable experience.
