[quote=Anonymous]Guy here.  I usually prefer to set up the first date for just coffee or a drink on a weeknight.  Quick, no pressure, and easy way to keep it quick with the excuse that you have to get up the next morning.  But my current job does not allow that.

So I am left with weekend first dates, which I do not like for various reasons.  So what is the best way I could handle this?  These are for first meets with women I chat with very little online first.  So they really are going into it pretty much blind.

Here are my thoughts:

Coffee on Saturday afternoon.
While I like the idea of it at first, it also means jammed up in a packed coffee shop with everyone on their laptops, kids around, etc.  Plus, even though it is just the first meeting, I think there is something to be said about having it at night to add the element of romance.  I think everyone feels more sexy and also can look their best under the soft glow of light rather than the harsh daylight.  I also think a drink is better to help calm nerves and to loosen up.

Early evening drink on Sat?
OK, but when?  Do you do it early as in 5 or 6PM so the expectation of dinner is not there?  Or do you do it later to give the woman time to eat before-hand.  Still though, at this later hour you are getting into a big Sat night first date, which is what I want to avoid.

Sunday afternoon coffee or drink
Sunday dates do have some merit at first glance.  People are rested, kind of laid-back, often times without many other plans.  But I think Sundays are also depressing so maybe it won't set the right tone.

If it was summer, I'd almost say just going to get an ice cream cone down in Old Town or something and walk along the river would be a good weekend first date.

Appreciate all ideas.[/quote]
