My answer for the cell phone question? Leave your cell phone at home unless you really need it because you have a babysitter or something like that. If you need it, have it on silent or a very quiet tone and excuse yourself and look at it to see who's calling, apologizing for the interruption.


Love the contradictions ... never got to a movie (or singer/songwriter at a coffeehouse), but a funny movie or comedy club is fine for testing sense of humor. I chose the joke answer not because I'd tell a joke, but because I'd be myself and let my sense of humor show itself.

This test is soooooo orientated/biased towards men - it should be men taking it not women, as it has a lot of references to: "driving your date home", "giving flowers".... and more!


Not really that great a test at all. And now I have seen what the "recommended" answers are, I totally do not think it is a good test. Just wrong on many accounts.


But apparently I did well... duh!! It's so easy to know what the best/appropriate answers are going to be..... hehehe





FIRST QUESTION
You've just asked that cute guy/girl out on a date with a very friendly, "Are you free sometime this week to go out?" He/She said, "Yes! I'm free Thursday." Before you request a phone number, which of the following should you say?


"What kinds of things do you like to do?"
A) is the best question you can ask before planning what you two might do together.

"Should we meet somewhere downtown?"
C) is a nice option to give a new person. In some cases, it might be odd, however, to ask someone out and then not volunteer to pick them up.

"I know of a great restaurant downtown. You'll love it, and I'll pick you up at 7pm."
B) is assertive, which can be nice, but assumes a little bit too much and sounds like an order.

"Great, we can meet up with my friends, watch the ballgame, and grab some food."

D) is a terrible idea. A first date with your friend around?


First of all, not all women are going to ask men out. This question assumes you will. Not a good assumption to make. Secondly, why cant you meet downtown and then decide? Why does it have to be so formalised?




NEXT QUESTION:

Your date is happy to let you plan the evening. You don't know this person very well, so you pick:


Chinese food and a wine bar
E) is the best option. The food choice is familiar to everyone and a wine bar is usually quiet and great for conversation, which should be the focus of a first date.

Cocktails at a lively bar, dinner at a steakhouse, and dance club
B) is a pretty jam-packed evening to spend with a person you don't even know. Cocktails, a steak, and then a dance club? This option does leave lots of room for talking, but what if you discover during cocktails that you don't even like this person? Are you going to cancel the reservation at the steakhouse? Too much, too soon.

Italian food and a romantic comedy movie
C) No movies on first dates. First dates are for talking to each other and listening to each other.

Sushi and a sexy thriller movie
A) See Answer C…and planning sushi without asking is a pretty risky move.

Beer and Bar Food at a Sports Bar
F) Bar Food? First Dates don't have to be extravagant, in fact they should be somewhat low key and basic, but being invited on a date and getting nachos and fried cheese is a real downer. You might discover on the first date that your new friend likes sports bars, but don't assume that this is a great place to start off.

Coffee with a singer-songwriter performing
D) Coffee is fine, but again, you want to talk and a singer-songwriter is going to get in the way of that.




Umm, actually a lot of people may not have anything much to say on the first date - as it can be a bit hard. Going to a movie, viewing an intimate performance at a bar, etc, gives you an opportunity to have something to talk about. Again, bad advice EH Advice advisors.... lol


The rest of the questions are in a similar vein.


There is one question asking what you would say if the waiter came to offer more wine and one of the answers was "No thanks, we have had enough". Umm, where is the consultation of the other person in this. Very much something a totally dominant person would say and not someone I would want to be with - not even an answer that should be on there. Who says those kinds of things anyway, other than male chauvanists?? Most of the questions, bar a few are ok, but the answers are just ridiculously specific, when not everyone would even think of say, sushi, but dinner at a cafe, why not? You have a choice in the type of food you can eat. This quiz is just not helpful at all !

I do not know but I believe on a first date man should make a very big impression like me I like a guy to give me a very nice bouquet of flowers. Also, I do not like a man whois a senior citizen, If I hangout with one just a friend nothing else not looking for a grandfather, or a father in replace with my father just if he is like 20 or older than me he should be able to please......me like 97% otherwise he doesn't have any chance with me I mean he is already older then he be all cheap nuh!


I like a man to asked me on a date even is not the first date even its our 2, 3rd, 4th, or 5th, or 6th date or 7th date what I want like if we are going to a dinner in a romantic place he should always asked me first what I want as a woman, and also if we are going to a mall he should asked me, or even he doesn't he should volunteer to buy me things for example: if I am looking around and we stop some stores and I be holding the things and then putting it back that is asignal I want the stuff, and that for him to ask me first do you like that? and if I say "No" once and then cannot get out the place or the store meaning I like that stuff, and yes I want it no need to ask me twice or three times duh please......do not be so naib of course, I want him to buy it for me.


As for me if a guy cannot buy me things on the first date whatever I wanted he will not be able to buy it for me on the 2nd, 3rd, and the 4th date etc. This concludes me if I get soseirous with him he will be all this cheap to me hell no!! I must well stay single if a guy cannot give me things I want in life correct?


For me love cannot be meause about anything! If a guy really loves me he will prove to me he is willing to do anything, and do everything to win my heart in the end. Whatever it takes even he has to risk his life in the battle. I want a guy who will jump in the deepest water when I say so otherwise will not get married with him or be in a serious relationship with him whatsoever, I am not like an ordinary woman when someone give them an ordinary size of diamond will say "Yes" to I do! nuh this is why I joined e-harmony because for me to challenged them to see if they can be able to find me the Mr. right I am looking for or I been searching for whole my life, I do not think whey will be able to though but we will see......

I took the quiz and apparently I'm a "first date ninja" which means that I did everything right according to the experts.


I had to think twice about some of the answers - some of the solutions aren't exactly ones that I would choose on a first date. The one about the Chinese food and wine bar is an example. Does it have to be both? Why not one or the other?


The best solution is to look at each situation individually. None of the answers are going to fit your date exactly; you have to play it by ear and see how things are going with that particular person.

Uhh.. I'm wondering if you are serious... On a first date you expect a man to just buy you whatever you want? If that's true that's a sign for me to run for the hills! Don't get me wrong, I have a good job and am not cheap at all. And I expect to pay on the first date. But I'm not going for a nice stroll window shopping on my first date and just buy whatever she points to for her! I barely even know her! If she is someone that I have been on more than a couple of dates with perhaps, but I'm not going to just throw money at her every whim. That's what we call a golddigger! And men avoid them like the plague!
