What is a favorite evening?

Question

For senior ladies, what is a favorite evening to get to know someone you have just met?

Dinner? A play? An afternoon lunch and a art show? What ideas can you share.

Answer 1

I need to know.

Do you live in a big city?

Do you live in the country?

Do you live i a rural area?

You must know a little about what she likes to do.

If I am just getting to know someone, in general, I like to sit across from them and have eye contact.

I like them to be on my turf. I'm a table sitter.  I would chose to either begin the evening or end it over a Tea/Coffee/Drink and a tray of tea cakes or cookies if tea or coffee or use your imagination if you are having drinks.

Or ask her to chose the thing she would like best to do.  You will at that time find out how compatible you are.

I wouldn't want you to chose a play for me.  I would only want to see a play if it were one I chose.  First date you need to do something that allows you to communicate.

Go fishing, picnic, site seeing, go for a stroll in the park and throw coins in a fountain.

Heck Nick, you are making me nervous for you.  Relax - be who you are - have fun.

I found my love sitting in a lounge, across the table from him, having a drink, conversation, laughing and dancing, over 50 years ago.

Answer 2

I would say afternoon lunch or tea. If you really want to impress , a bit of thought put into a pick-nick  would  do it for  me. Then a stroll down the beach or some beauty spot like Aysgarth waterfalls.

Answer 3

I suggest taking it slow, start out by finding out what they enjoy doing, hobbies etc then use your imagination to suggest a public place type date, that is not real crowded or noisy,( based on what they enjoy), so you can talk.  

Answer 4

Nick - I'll try to answer.  First of all do  you know if she likes art?   Not everyone does you know.  Lunch is always nice (and a good starting place) and then perhaps, depending upon where you live, a  nice walk in the park, beach, nature trail, whatever!   Dinner and play is  nice too but you might be overwhelming her.   In general, women do not like to be impressed.  Just be yourself, and talk to her, and ask her if she has something special in mind that she enjoys, and would like to do.  Another thing is, if you start out with dinner and a theater she might expect that kind of treatment (expense) each time you invite her out.

Just a thought (because I do not know this lady).   But most important of all - just have fun.                    CJ

Answer 5

Some place where you can talk, so loud movie theater is out. I suggest a nice long walk on the shore or a picnic. The lunch and art show sounds great. I think someone met someone.  

Answer 6

Since I'm married, I prefer to spend my evening with my husband, and not someone I just met.

The perfect evening is to eat a light dinner, take the boat out on the bay, watch the sunset, listen to oldies and do some fishing! Ahhhh. Perfect!

Answer 7

I love a dinner and a play. A friend I met years ago and I would do this when a new play came on the stage. Over dinner we would talk and after the play we would stop for a drink. Now I live far from her and live out in the country where there are no plays. I miss her and the times we had together. Our husbands were not into plays or dinner or a drink after ward's. They watched the kids.    Poppy

Answer 8

I think and nice afternoon lunch and an art show would be fun and a good

way to get to know someone new.  As a woman, I would like that.  It's always a good idea to keep it low key and it can be just as much fun.

Answer 9

I would prefer a nice dinner, walk along the beach (if possible) or a walk in a nice park. Or a play would be great.  If there's a place where they have a dinner and show , I suggest that.  it is fun and the food is super.I wouldn't overdo it on the first date.  She may expect it all the time.  HA Even dinner and a movie would be nice.  Unless they are filthy rich, simple things can be fun.

Answer 10

Coffee at a cozy coffee house

Dinner and or drinks/coffee/dessert

Believe it or not.. bowling....

not a movie or a play in the beginning (not enough chance to talk)

people watching at the mall over a hot pretzel...

Community events such as a farmers market

Answer 11

The lunch and art show sounds great.  If the weather permits a walk in a garden and a visit to a coffee shop would be good. A picnic in a park or a bicycle ride are other possibilities. This time of the year there are a lot of fairs and farmers markets, maybe she would like that. Until you get to know the lady better keep it casual.

Answer 12

My new friend and I recently took a late afternoon to travel to a nearby larger city. First, he treated me to a therapeutic massage because, he said, he knows the stressful situations that I have faced recently. Afterward we went to dinner at a restaurant whose cuisine is that of the region that I moved from last year. I had told him some time ago  how much I enjoyed the food from my previous city of residence. To me this made the perfect evening. While I enjoyed what he planned, what impressed me more was that he had paid attention during our conversations and customized our time together in an effort to do something very nice for me. Now, that's a very special guy!

Answer 13

if it's afternoon, a picnic by the lake would be nice.

If it's evening, dinner, and a movie.

If you know some of the things the lady likes to do, even bowling and lunch can be fun.
