ASK - I am open for the "unusal' date idea. One of my best dates ever was an afternoon activy right after lunchtime - so NO food. And the activity was free - so no $$ from either of us was needed. Great fun!





Also have had many dessert dates - meet for ice cream or something - again great fun.


Have had breakfast dates before - with the right person GREAT. I perfer one of the above over that whole dinner/movie thingy. With the above if things click you can extend the date for as long as you want.

How much better can a breakfast date be with nothing else planned for the day. You can continue on with the date all day with what ever strikes your fancies or you both can have a free day to do whatever by yourselves. Whichever way it goes is for both of you to decide with no pressures or hastiness.

well, one, "let me buy you breakfast" is a classic, skanky pick-up line for a one night stand. two, it sounds an awful lot like one might be expected to spend the whole day together. three, daytime is for chores and errands.

Again, the OP is a gross generality and sure doesn't apply to everyone. Myself, I like to get up early on the weekend and frequently go to breakfast with gf's or family so I wouldn't be opposed to a date for breakfast either.

As for lunch, again on weekends, the hotels and restaurants locally offer great buffet brunches that can be fun and interesting. I had a date this summer that started with a brunch, then we drove to a local mountain area and hiked around Lost Lake to work the big brunch off, ended up at an out of the way tavern where a local band was performing an early set-they had the BBQ going and we had a great time dancing outdoors on their deck, in the long twilight, to bluegrass music. I liked that man-too bad he didn't feel any spark for me, Oh well.

So really, as with everything, it all depends on the individual person you are dating. Have you offered this in your profile as an option you might enjoy? You might be surprised at how many women would be interested.

I've done breakfast dates before, they're nice first date sort of things because you meet in the morning and then there's no "pressure" at the end of an evening date to kiss/invite someone in/etc. I did breakfast once because I had to drive to Seattle in the afternoon and I really wanted to see the guy before I left, so I suggested breakfast and it went really, really well. Like all generic questions that ask "Why do women/men always...?" I would gently comment that not everyone is the same?

As others have said, while different women have different opinions on this issue, the real problem I see is your attitude, which says "this is probably going to fail anyway, so I want to invest as little as I possibly can in the date". If that really is your feeling towards first dates, that message probably coming through, and certainly isn't likely to produce great results.
