EPTI just don't recommend anything passive like Theater, Cinema, shows etc. They are fine later but the lack of interaction with your date won't get you anywhere on those. Unless it's completely on in which case you'd just have to go in for the kiss in the theater but you might as well just watch at home in that case... and the bed is closer.

We are extremely close to shutting down this thread for the same reasons the PUA thread was shut down. While some of the time this thread contains actual discussion with people asking help and people giving nice advice, it often gets derailed by rubbish that should not be here. The moderation team will be trying to steer this thread in a different direction from now on. Posts of the following nature are banned: 1) ANYTHING regarding PUA. If your post contains the words 'alpha' or 'beta' or anything of that sort please don't hit post. 2) Stupid brags. You can tell us about your nice success stories with someone, but posts such as 'lol 50 Tinder matches' are a no-no. 3) Any misogynistic bullshit, including discussion about rape culture. 4) One night stands and random sex. These are basically brags that invariably devolve into gender role discussions and misogynistic comments. Last chance, guys. This thread is for dating advice and sharing dating stories. While gender roles, sociocultural norms, and our biological imperative to reproduce are all tangentially related, these subjects are not the main purpose of the thread. Please AVOID these discussions. If you want to discuss them at length, go to PMs or start a blog. If you disagree with someone's ideologies, state that you disagree with them and why they won't work from a dating standpoint and move on. We will not tolerate any lengthy derailments that aren't directly about dating. | ||

"Movie nights" at home = guaranteed sex. It's a matter of when, not if. | ||

I think she might appreciate it.  | ||

Bonus points if you're a girl and you make him scramble to regain his footing.

I find that no matter how often I've gone putt-putting or played pool, I'm somehow no better than the first time I ever did either of those things. | ||

Now to figure out what to do. It's only the 2nd date with this girl, so I shouldn't do too much, but I still need something that makes the night "special" in some way... | ||

I was considering pool as well but the pool hall always blasts super loud music which I don't really like and she seems like the quiet type that wouldn't really like it either. Maybe I'll bowl left handed  but I think if the score of the bowling game is the determining factor of the date then I've done something majorly wrong. | ||

There's this website in Germany you can use when you drive somewhere and have spare seats in your car. I use it to get lifts all the time, and last weekend I wanted to visit a lady friend I've been seeing for the past couple of weekends. So I got a lift via that website, packed my Strat, met the driver, we drove on, started talking, she asks me about my guitar, next thing I know we're at her place. My friend got a bit annoyed, but I just visited her on Saturday instead of Friday and all was well. Thank you, Leo Fender, for enabling ugly guys to get girls way out of their league since 1946. | ||

Last summer I've just been sitting outside on a much-frequented meadow near the Neckar to practice and I got approached and laid like five times. Also, mayhaps I'm just less picky. I'm pretty much grateful for every girl who will have me. | ||
