Get reservations to P.F. Chengs in easton - reservations so you get the hook up on one of the round booths. Go play mini golf or go carts before dinner to break the ice and set up the fun atmosphere. After dinner walk around Easton or a park to talk and get to know each other better. End the night like a gentleman (AKA not expecting anything more than a good night kiss) and wait for the call for the second date....

This is also a good idea and then maybe the second time. If it goes to the second or third time would be to go out to bike night.

Comfest is this weekend. Pretty cool place to go walk and around and talk. Plenty to see and talk about(and make fun of, just let her start it or at least be somewhat PC so you don't say something stupid).

There are drinks but they are probably expensive and the vendors will have long lines. This will assure that you won't be a drunk asshole, but you'll be able to have one or two to relax.

If things get quiet and awkward, just walk over and see a band for a few minutes until the conversation start back up.

Buy her a cheap flower headband or beads or a caricature or something as well. I tend to find that the cheesier and cheaper something a gift is, the more it thrills my wife (besides diamonds or a car ).

If things work out, save the dinner and movie for the next date.

Ladies, what do say about this?

I also like this but comfest could mean running into people she may know. Not that it is a big deal but then it might turn into a group event and her mind might change.

whatever you do DO NOT tell her you ride a 250.

I am going to call her tomorrow but I dont know really howw to word it. "Where do you want to go" and then be like "well I thought of a couple of good places blah blah blah"

Maybe that would be the best approach.

Take her on a picnic at the Park of Roses in Clintonville. When you're done you can walk around and look at all of the beautiful flowers. It gets you out of buying flowers on the first date which may be a little awkward. If all goes well, go to Magic Mountain and if not, take her ass home and don't spend a dime on her!!

That is also a good idea. Magic Mountain is pretty cool.

Are you seriously taking dating advice from a bunch of bikers on the internet?

I am taking advice and it does not have to be a perfect first date. Yea I get nervous around her. So I want a relaxed first date but also fun.

I'll have to try Barrio. I have heard a few good reviews about that place.

There you go Mr. Anderson, sounds like you have a number of good suggestions, hope the date goes well.

That also does sound good too. Should I bring flowers and dress all fancy. Should I dress casual but still bring the flowers.

Mongolian BBQ and you make her food and she can make yours. Kind of a fun ice breaker... just don't make the girl vom.

Then you can wander around Easton at night and check out the fountains... They are purty!! ....or just find a good people watching bench near adobe's and watch all the drunks

I am not that good at making food. Watching the drunks is always a blast.

To get an idea of who I am. I do open doors for the ladies. I am 21 and she is 20.

Plan a picnic (would suggest Goodale Park, but ComFest may serve as quite the distraction). It shows that you are a dedicated planner. This will also give you an opportunity to get to know one another in an easy-going, no-pressure environment. Too often, 1st dates in restaurants are mad-awkward and uncomfortable, as the two of you are just sitting "interview style" across from each other at a table.

After the picnic, try go-karting at Magic Mtn., Mini-Golfing, or some other fun activity which will keep the two of you engaged (as cheesy as it sounds, it could be fun).

Date 1 should be more about establishing who you are, and less about the "friend zone". If all goes well, you'll still be able to "tap that" in due time.

This is also a good idea. I asked the woman at work and go-karting is a good thing.

you should ask her where she wants to go, and during dinner let the focus of the conversation be about her likes and dislikes, but answer honestly any qusetions she might have about you.... sure to get you a second date...

I like this. Easton gets pretty busy on Sat. Is Brio any good?

funny bone at easton mall / cheescake factory

Should I go to the funny bone then to the cheesecake factory.

Or just the funny bone.

I have been stuck in the friend zone with a couple of girls in the past and its hard to get out of that. They just dont think of you the same way.

what kind of girl is she? what does she like? are you looking for dinner?

Don't go to a movie unless she really wants to see a movie... or unless you're putting the middle school moves on her (trying to hold her hand and what not)

I am not going to the movie thing. You cant talk during the movie.

I met her through a friend and I have talked to her a couple of times. I would say I like her and she is really cool. Not a poser or anything like that. She is true to herself and smart. I don't want to end up in the friend zone with her.

Quaker Steak and Lube at Polaris on a Wednesday night If she has a good time, she's a keeper. If she whines, it's an easy way to tell that it's not meant to be and you still get to have a nice evening of wandering around looking at a bunch of sweet bikes. Win-win.

*edit* Oh...you said Saturday.

I thought about that but she is busy this Wednesday. Its a great idea too. Maybe if it goes on another date and she loves motorcycles.

I have a date setup on Saturday. I need a good place to go for the first date. I live in the Columbus area. Any suggestions would help. thanks.

Did you ever go riding Kaitlyn?

going riding not really sure where....but we are leaving my house in westlake around 8

What type of motorcycle are you getting?

let the good times roll.

This forum is the best. I love this site.

I would give you a ride but just got my temps. No riders til I get my license. Maybe when I get the 600.

Hey Kaitlyn, welcome to the site. I just got my new motorcycle.

The games looks like a lot of fun.
