I'm not a fan of breakfast or lunch, but I'm a HUGE fan of meeting for drinks or hors d'oeuvres. Not because I'm a lush, but because the ambiance is a litle more condusive to romance.

Hmmm… let’s see….
*
I work 50+ hours in a week, another 10+ hours on maintaining a healthy lifestyle… working out (cardio, Pilates, Yoga), shopping/preparing/cooking for fresh and healthy meals… that doesn’t leave me much time during the day.
*I would love to meet for breakfast and lunch, however… in order to remain, maintain, and achieve… financial, physical, emotional, and mental balance in my life, I have to put in the time, discipline, and hard-work.
*Once we meet… like each other… One day.. we will wake up together, and have many, many breakfasts together. AND I may grow an organic veggie garden… cook for you… and iron your clothes on Sundays in my slip and stilettos. But in the meantime, we’re going to have to meet in the evenings, after work, around 6:30-7pm.

A breakfast date is not a bad idea, but probably shouldn't be a first date. Plus, many women tell me they "don't feel their best" in the mornings. I've had plenty of lunch dates, but generally don't do that during the week because if you're working you're under an unwanted time restriction (which could be good if you don't like the date).


Dinner dates, although more expensive, are probably the best and safest. It's really all about what the woman wants (if the man is pursuing her).I'm flexible for anything.


Oh baby!
Not for me! I've taken a couple first dates to help me wash my car. LOL (I am serious though).

LOL! Running joke here is that I'll know I've met Mr. Right when he invites me to go to the junk yard with him to pull a part, and he picks me flowers on the way there LOL!

Why not breakfast? For me... I DO NOT do mornings, for the most part. At the horse farm I ran in PA, it was a running joke that no one spoke to me till after 8 am. and not try to engage me in any serious conversation till 9. Generally speaking, I'm a lot better now than I was then, but I still don't really feel like I'm myself till about 10 am. Like someone else has said, I'm a night owl. I don't mind brunch or lunch, but NO breakfast. Too early! It'd be like eating with a dragon.


I prefer dinner just because I'm more loose and relaxed by then with less on my mind. I'm one of those people that wakes up thinking about 1000s of things... well, I go to bed that way too. And, I don't mind going dutch on a first date. I think meeting for drinks is probably a better idea, then you're not tied down to a certain amount of time. However, not eveyone drinks... Perhaps if people would start having high tea at 4pm again... That'd be lovely!

Hey... My dad owns a junk yard and that thing put me through University! Hehe.. My first cars came out of a junk yard too. Thankfully, it's made me pretty car savvy.

Lunch dates are great especially as first dates. I also am a big fan of coffee and dessert dates. It does give you an opportunity to either take care of other things in your life or, if all is going well, prolong the date by adding a movie.

So you know what I mean when I say that LOL! I just love a guy who is frugal and has hobbies that save money rather than cost money... I'm not so much into spending money as I am making it!

I think women don't do lunch dates becauseit has to do with the traditional notion of 'dinner & a movie'. I might prefer a lunch date because if I don't like you,I'll only have about an hour do deal with you.
