I thought it was planned in consultation with your date .. unless it is a surprise date biggrin

Who is paying ??? that person should have the final decision laugh laugh
.. first off hello youwaving .
Secondly in most cases the man pays.. so it's not really fair to say who pays chooses..

Personally myself.. sometimes it's hard to find a venue to take a date on especially if you being everywhere ...done that being there so to speak.. a number of times...

Sometimes you find yourself having that conversation..ie )..sooo what you want to do?.
Her .. I don't know what you want to do..
Hmmmm... and then I feel like it's back on my shoulders to decide.... once again..

It's great!.. if i pick a fantastic venue ..Im the hero.. but if i come up short ..then Im a big zero

I find a lot of women do this ..wait for the man to make the decisions or come up with some venue to take them to... I can usually do a pretty good job of that....
But sometimes I secretly think in my own head... great !!!..I have no idea what to do with this person.. or where to take them..
I want to show them a good time but I can't seem to think of any place to go....
Then I feel... like some kind of loser... for not having some great venue to go to all the time... someplace to take them..her..

Then I think to myself ..hmmm..wait a minute !!..why is it just up to me..
Why can't she .. Rack her brains on where we should go for a change.. let her stress out about it...lol...

Very valid points mister :-)

I think you (men) should use the opportunity to enjoy
your last drive in the driver's seat.

Take her to all the places YOU like, as a sort of litmus
test during the getting-to-know-you stage.

You can later use this for ammunition, "But when we first
met, you said you loved camping."

So, no, it is a perk of dating for women, being offered
a menu of what-to-do as opposed to coming up with
something ourselves.

We are unlikely to give that up.
Telling you what to do will come soon enough :-)

Why not suggest to her that you guys take turns in deciding the place? This month could be your turn . The next can be hers , and keep alternating :)

I personally was very contented with simple dates like movies, dance parties, karaoke, icecream parlors, affordable restaurants , and a walk around the park when I was in a relationship. I loved my mate's company so he was usually the main feature attraction for me... not the place :D

By the way a morning date on a weekend might be a nice change eg going for a lovely breakfast together or even a picnic in the afternoon

Easy this one.

If a woman spent even half the time deciding where to go, as she does deciding what to wear, you'd get nowhere.

laugh I could never keep up with you if I tried ...tongue2

I am just poking fun at the tradition of different expectations for men and women. There is a balance, in general, of what things they both are expected to do for the relationship to flow, but of course each couple then goes on to define their own more subjective and personal expectations of each other.

Men's energy works in the same way - to decide, to act, to offer as women's energy is acceptance, appreciation, careness. It's by Nature, but seems nowadays people are far from the Nature :))

Yes, it's called women's liberation.

One foot on the train tracks, one foot off?
