best first date icebreaker, i told the guy to meet me at busch stadium in st louis, for cardinals-pirates home opener game. i said "meet me at gate 5, i'll be the chick with the red white and black mohawk with her face airbrushed in stars and cardinals' birds on the bat." he thought i was kidding. the funny part was, i wasn't joking. we had a good laugh, and went in and watched a great game. cards lost, they are still looking for a good closer...and so am i!

When I got in his car, I asked about playing my iPod and he pulled out the CD he had burned...it even had my name on it. He had remembered every single song we had discussed or emailed and had found them online and burned it for us that morning. So sweet. I instantly relaxed and snuggled against his arm while he drove.

Is this with a guy you met via the internet? Women I've met via the internet....I've really had no idea before meeting if I'd actually like them in person or not. There are just so many aspects of personality that don't come across until meeting in person.
So true! And this is what makes eH dating more difficult, IMO.

Best Ice Breaker I can recall,


I had been interested in a girl I worked with (we'll call her Kristen) for a while and I finally got up the nerve to ask her out. She said yes, and we agreed on going to see a movie later that week. When i went to pick her up I was nervous about how things would go. We had talked a lot at work and we seemed to have a lot in common, but we had never really interacted outside the context of being coworkers. When, I got there and I was greeted by my date and her young niece. It turns out Kristen's older sister had to leave town on short notice and she had gotten roped into baby siting her 4 year old niece (Kristen had actually called to let me know but I had inadvertently left my phone in my gym bag after my workout that day).


At that point it occurred to me that there was only one thing to do. So I dropped down onto my knees and asked this adorable little girl if she liked Disney movies. She assured me that she did and we agreed that "Finding Nemo was so funny." Then I asked if she wanted to come to the movies with me and her aunt. Again, she assured me that she did (I know it was shameless ploy but I was really excited about this date)


Kristen and I were putting her niece in her car seat in the back seat of the car and this adorable little girl looks up and me and says "you should sit in the back with me so I can show you my coloring books." I glance over at Kristen who gives me a bewildered look. Again, I figure there is only one thing to do. So I say "that sounds great! I love color books," and I crawl in the back seat too.


Me and her niece had a great time discussing the finer points of why the Genie in her "Aladin" coloring book was red and not blue, and how color water is fun because it's easy.


After that the rest of the date went great. It's hard to be nervous around a bubbly little girl with pig tails whose just as excited about the coming attractions as I was about holding her aunts hand.

dear lucky 173,


i just tried your icebreaker today, kinda dared him to kiss me first before we even talked. the place we were going to meet was closed for easter sunday, but instead of being awkward, that was the best icebraker ever. in the parking lot! a kiss tells you so much, taste and smell, for chemistry. hey if you dont like the way a guy smells, its doomed no matter how much else you like. we found another place to go, got lost together first, had the whole date with a goofy smile after that kiss. and he thought i was so cool to come up with that. i gave you cred. thanks for passing it on. you rock!!!

I was excited while reading this. I just asked a guy out (as previously stated in my other blog) and he said yes. We are going to a baseball game so that in itself should be a nice icebreaker. I am a bit nervous, since it's been a real long time that I been on a date. Even more nervous since I made the initial move and asked for us to go! We have been emailing some time now, nothing romantic just nice conversations here and there, so I know for he is a cool guy. I guess I am more excited about just getting out of my cacoon lol. I am hoping I am not nervous on this date, because I talk and laugh alot when I do. ;p

Went ou tot dinner on a week night and were seated two people at the big round table for eight. I made a comment how "this isn't going to work" and when the waiter came by I asked to be moved. We were moved to a really small table meant for two people and playfully fought for space with our menus.


Another good one was on a first date but after a movie. We were eatign dinner and saw this high school couple seated kind of close to us and proceeded to evaluate what we thought was going through each of their minds. The question then turned to "if they were having this same conversation, what would they say about us?" My date's response: "He could do a lot better than her." It was very flattering and gave me a perfect opportunity to return the compliment without feeling like a loser.
