Thankyou!

1.both equally - as long as both he & I are clean & well groomed, the clothes on a first date really do not matter. I tend to dress up but not always- depends on what is planned - especially on subsequent dates

2. & 3. my true preference is to keep a first date very simple so money is not a huge issue either way as generally I am used to men picking up the tab- especially in the beginning, and it is a preference but not a huge thing. so if the first meet is simple a coffee on a saturday, for example, or a pizza place then no one is out a lotta $$$$- if he brings it up beforehand I do whatever is settled on but I never bring it up. I feel it might dishonor his masculinity.

-on long distance meets - halfway is best so no one feels burned if it doesn't work out

also keeping a first date simple means you can really talk and spend the time together WITH each other not so much DOING that distracts from getting to know each other - and then the date can evolve as you both wish (or not). I had one first date that last for 2 & 1/2 days

I like casual first dates. There are tons of places around here to grab a drink or two and go for a walk by the water/around the city to get to know each other.

I dress comfortably but I make sure it isn't any revealing of my curves. Make myself simply cool but radiant to make my date feel special because I prepared for this.

I prefer to have my first date to be as simple as talking to him during an afternoon tea so I can decently observe his facial expressions, hand gestures and body movements.

Thus the simple afternoon tea, to make my date comfortable in paying for this first date. Also, prefer the date to be in a surrounding that makes me feel safer and confident.

I don't put anymore effort into looking good than I do any other time. However, I seem to spend more time on my everyday appearance than many other men do.

I plan a first date in detail. I assume I'll be paying for everything, but she will often offer to pay her own way. Usually I'll say, "let me pay for the meal and you can buy the drinks later."

I like to plan time in a quiet place where we can talk while shooting pool, bowling, playing darts or some other activity. It's all about talking and getting to know one another.

i keep it simple

It all depends on chemistry and shared interests...but in general, someplace that allows you to get to know each other is best (meaning NOT a movie or a show where you aren't talking.)

I'm a pretty casual kind of girl, personally. Not that I don't like to fix myself up and look cute, but dressing to impress starts with the way you present yourself to yourself.

I usually know after the background check

It depends upon if the date will be the first conversation.

A first 'date' that follows a few conversations (by phone, email, etc,,,) , I would prefer to be something nice where I can dress semi formal


A first date with an otherwise stranger whom I know nothing at all about, I prefer someplace very busy and very casual,,,to take the pressure off and concentrate on getting to know each other.

I have never asked someone else out. I prefer to be asked and if asked I prefer that person puts the date together, the decision and the finance.

For me, "MANNERS" is the most important for me in dating... And "TALKATIVE" too... LOL..

I like to dress to impress. Mostly because my motto is dress to kill, if I am doing something that is out of my comfort zone.

I'd prefer to do something together, because I believe, its easier to get to know each other, if we are doing something, since we'll act more natural with each other. But I don't mind having a coffee and just talking.

When it comes to who pays, I guess I am old fashioned. I want to be treated like a lady, which means, I expect the guy to pay. But don't get me wrong, I am not in it for a free meal. I just think a girl should be treated like a lady, that all.

I usually wear slacks not jeans.
I like to sit and talk but be open to doing something.
As a man I should always pay regardless of the sex question.
I have a whole bevy of wrong answers. How many do you want?
