Mary, you are wasting time with occasional dates that don’t work out. You need to start with a large group. ---

Why does it matter if your friend thinks it’s creepy? Clearly, everyone has different tastes when it comes to the specifics of approaches to dating and hooking up. If you’re fine with it, go with it. EDIT: I didn’t read the whole thread when I posted this. ---

The squid lives in the hot tub, obviously, but the goat isn’t always keen to jump in. At least not until after a few drinks. Besides, wet goat smells funny. Or if you prefer it the other way around, that’s cool, too. We’ll all mingle. It’ll be fine. > [@Marylnshephards](#): > > large group? Feel free to join in! ---

> [@Ambivalid](#): > > A movie?! That’s gotta be one of the worst first date ideas out there. Two strangers sitting next to each other in the dark, not saying anything…_why?_ Well obviously so you can buy a big bucket of popcorn, drill a hole in the bottom, then put it in your lap. When the popcorn gets low enough your date reaches in and finds the surprise, and then it’s just a fun time all-around. ---

> [@Ambivalid](#): > > A movie?! That’s gotta be one of the worst first date ideas out there. Two strangers sitting next to each other in the dark, not saying anything…_why?_ I actually like movie dates. A movie is a shared experience that tunes the emotions of the couple to the same channel. Then later, you can talk about the movie. If you both liked it, you have common ground. **Marylnshephards** , what kinds of movies do you like? Are there any new Transformers sequels in theaters at the moment? Personally, I find that there is nothing better than watching giant robots mindlessly beat the crap out of each other for a couple of hours straight to get into the mood for some sweet romancing. ---

I like comedy, Action and Drama.The reason why i am suggesting a movie is because we both don’t live too far from the movie theater. He wants to meet when gets off work after 6pm. Maybe after a movie we can go to cofee shop and talk.I am nervous though, Its been a while since I have been on date ---
