This is funny because I was thinking about going to 'coffee dates' for the first meet because ...

A nice dinner at an italian restaurant isn't working for me ...

A nice dinner at a new mongolian restaurant and a walk in the park isn't working for me ...

A motorcycle ride, home-cooked meal, and dancing isn't working for me ...

So, let's see ...a 1000 coffee dates that take really no effort, no thought, and very little money OR

1000 dates that are planned in detail, some take time and effort (cooking), and are considerably more expensive than just coffee ...

...just to never hear from the person again.

Choices, choices ...

There's a easy answer to this. Start dating the girls who ARE interested.

Okay, what's wrong with coffee dates? I like coffee and I know the coffee shops around so am in familiar environment. It also gives option to both to keep it short or go long. ???

and there was a picture of the GIANT pickup truck (with him not in it). parked on what appeared to be the lawn in front of the house.

WHAT IS IT WITH THESE GUYS!?

AGUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUgh

That's it. I'm posting a picture of my efficient Mazda3.
Some women like the country guys that drive those huge pickup trucks, where I'm from originally women drive them too. Partially because there are a lot of ridges that are bad in the Winter. Everyone doesn't live in the city or suburbs cp30

100 coffee dates to find 'The One' - CNN.com

I read this yesterday and sort of nodded...reading but thinking the whole time....your problem is not what you think it is, lady.

Your problem is you think coffee dates work. And you are going out with too many 'maybes' in the first place.

too many maybes + too much coffee + lunch time = fatigue and no mood for romance

(that was my elementary equation for you numbers people)
Didn't read the article but response is to your comments.

First dating is a numbers game. You should not approach dating with the view that each person you go out with is "the one". You should date for the date itself, the fun, learning about the other person and learning about yourself. You should go out with almost anyone at least once maybe twice.

I have never done a coffee date, don't drink coffee.

I would also try putting some of the lyrics to that carrie underwood song in your profile. but I would tailor it like this..

I enjoying digging my keys into the side of your GIANT souped up 4 wheel drive. Once in a relationship I always carve my name into leather seats A great first date would be taking my louisville slugger and smashing some head lights

That ought to weed out some men for you! lol

(just kidding CP)

Most, if not all, of my first dates turned into LTR. Hmmm . . . maybe I am just too easy.

I thought the article was too boring to read the whole thing but I'll say this. Maybe someone should learn how to weed out the duds before they even agree to meet.
