		<title>Worst First Date - You&#039;re not funny.</title>
		<link>http://firstdate.civicvoice.com/index.php?entry=entry090711-194825</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Submitted by a female from Massachusetts in the USA. <br /><br />About two years ago I had the worse date of my life. I had signed up on one of those match sites and got a reply from a guy who was interested in me. We had emailed for a week or so and decided to meet for coffee and chat. You never know until you get to talk to a person what they are going to be like and in this case, I don&#039;t know if I could possibly have been more bored. <br /><br />The minute we sat down over our coffee he had nothing but complaints about his ex wife. I tried to get some handle on his interests, hobbies, or what he liked to do in his spare time, but got nothing.<br /><br />Several times he looked at me and said, &quot;I thought you were going to be funny. You&#039;re not funny.&quot; I told him it depended on the circumstances and made a joke about that I was not about to jump up on the table and do the hula. I asked him what he would like to do for a date. Everything was an &quot;I don&#039;t know.&quot; I spent about a half hour or so together and I left just figuring, &quot;Well, one never knows and now I do.&quot; <br /><br />Over a year later he called me. He had found my number in his desk. I had totally forgotten this guys name and was surprised when he called. He talked about how bad his life had been the last year and wanted to know if we could meet again. I sure wasn&#039;t in the mood to hear doom and gloom stories again so told him I seeing someone quite steadily. This was the easiest way to say no and not hurt his feelings. <br /><br />I never want to be with someone who is a total drag. First dates are suppose to be kind of fun. This one was awful.]]></description>

		<title>First Date - Going To The Park</title>
		<link>http://firstdate.civicvoice.com/index.php?entry=entry090614-075009</link>
		<description><![CDATA[I am a guy, living in Oregon, U.S.A. <br /><br />I think that for a first date, just going to the park or some other scenic area, maybe a zoo or aquarium would be nice. Depending on which of these and what you do, it might very well be free. You&#039;ve got all day to get to know each other. It&#039;s public, there&#039;s entertainment and things to do, and it&#039;s more personal, one on one than some date ideas.]]></description>

		<title>Worst First Date - With a Car Dealer</title>
		<link>http://firstdate.civicvoice.com/index.php?entry=entry090405-193628</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Submitted by a female from Connecticut. <br /><br />My worse first date was with a man who owned a car dealership. He asked me out to a car auction which sounded like fun. We arrived at the car auction and it was kind of fun for a while, but after a free hours it was boring. The cars are all running at the car auction so the exhaust fumes were sickening and dinner ended being Macaroni and cheese plus a hot dog from the auction concession stand. <br /><br />After he had purchased all the cars he asked if I would mind driving one back to his lot about an hour away. He said he would be ahead of me and if I had any problems with the car to flash my lights and he would pull over (it was about 11:30 p.m). Then he asked if his dog a Rottweler could ride in the car with me because the seats were more comfortable for the dog. So I said okay. On the way home the &quot;engine&quot; light when on and I flashed my lights but he must not have seen them so when I pulled over he did not. So I was alone on the side of a highway with a dog that was huge and not seeming to friendly. Then a car pulls up next to me and a man gets out and comes up to my car and starts tapping on the window. <br /><br />I was scared, but it turns out he got a flat and wanted to know if I had a cell phone. Then a policeman pulls up to make sure we were okay and he asked me the name of the dealership which I did not know and the last name of the person I was on the date with which he did not know. I ended up on the side of the road for a few hours because my date did not realize I was not behind him till he got to car lot. Then he finally came and got me and I went home very tired and aggravated.]]></description>

		<title>First Date - Picnic at the Beach</title>
		<link>http://firstdate.civicvoice.com/index.php?entry=entry090329-090008</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Submitted by a female age 44 from So. Cal Camarillo, CA.<br /><br />A good first date in a tight economy would definitely be a picnic at the beach. The dates could pack a picnic Lunch with breads and cheeses and wine and water. a blanket and maybe a cd player for music. A single rose which may run you maybe five dollars or less. This is something simple as well as inexpensive which shows the person that they are not attempting to be flashy, but just giving the attention that they deserve. <br /><br />The final activity would be a nice stroll hand in hand on the beach under the sun setting, moon rising night. Then a drive home and a Kiss until the next date. ]]></description>

		<title>First Date - A Park with Swings and Slides</title>
		<link>http://firstdate.civicvoice.com/index.php?entry=entry090328-112752</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Firstly, I am a male, and I live in Israel. <br /><br />Going to a park with swings and slides is always a good idea. It regresses both of you and makes a wonderful connection. Preferably at night or evening, when the kids aren&#039;t playing there. Afterward, a walk and even sitting somewhere where there is as little artificial light as possible. This will enable you to watch the stars as you talk and get to know each-other. Watching the stars will calm both of you down in case you get nervous or too excited. And of course it will make a good romantic scene. All of this will begin if you take your date to dinner, and there, bring the idea of going to a park to mind. Good Luck. ]]></description>

		<title>First Date - Free Lecture at a University</title>
		<link>http://firstdate.civicvoice.com/index.php?entry=entry090327-210441</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Submitted by a a female from Wisconsin.<br /><br />I think the ideal first date is to go to a free lecture at a university together. Check out online listings for potential lecture times, or simply stop by the campus and look at some promotional fliers. When you go to a lecture with your date, you&#039;ll both get to hear some engaging and cutting-edge ideas about history, literature, or art. <br /><br />Then, afterward, you can go out for coffee or a drink, and you&#039;ll have some interesting new information to discuss with each other. I really like the lecture idea because it gives you a foundation for your first conversation, so that you&#039;re not worried about finding topics to talk about. Best of all, you&#039;ll learn something new from the lecture, and you&#039;ll also learn about the way that your date processes information.]]></description>

		<title>Worst First Date - Cruising around Walmart.</title>
		<link>http://firstdate.civicvoice.com/index.php?entry=entry090326-195112</link>
		<description><![CDATA[I am a female and live in MO in the US. <br /><br />My worst first date was with this guy my friends set me up with. We lived in a small town with nothing to do, so we went to cruise around Walmart for a while.<br /><br />Afterwards, we were bored so decided to just go driving and look at the stars. Well, one thing led to another, and the guy made some moves on me. <br /><br />I liked him a lot, he was a really nice guy, but he was a terrible kisser. It literally hurt! It felt like he was trying to eat my face. He was very agressive with his making out, lol. He needed to slow it down several notches for a first date.]]></description>

		<title>First Date - At the Zoo or Aquarium</title>
		<link>http://firstdate.civicvoice.com/index.php?entry=entry090326-055618</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Taking a first date to a Zoo or Aquarium is good. If it is a blind date it is a public place with many people around so it is a comfort zone. It is fun (everyone enjoys the antics of animals) and it is also educational. Depending on the season it is usually very fair in cost (with exception of on site concessions which can be marked up). Best of all there are many photo opportunities so if things go well you will have plenty of picture to remember the occasion.]]></description>

		<title>Worst First Date - I spilt my drink on her.</title>

		<description><![CDATA[Submitted by a male living in San Jose, CA in the USA. <br /><br />About a year ago, me and a girl who I was meeting for the first time went to the movies on a casual date. It was good at first but then I spilt my soda all over her and it was the most embarrassing thing that ever happened. I definitely learned to hold on tighter when i am drinking something. While she was mad at me then, She has forgiven me are friends.]]></description>
