Hey everybody, welcome to Tripp's Tips episode # 5. Welcome. Today we're talking about first
dates. Now, I brought this up on my old podcast Dudes Talking About Chicks and I brought this up
on my web series The Social Rules. But I'm gonna bring it up again because guys keep on asking me
the same question over and over. What is the best first date? Or in general, they're just asking me,
what should I do on a first date? Where should I take a girl? Today, I'm going to talk about the 3
best places that you can take a girl on a first date, and also what not to do. These are in no
specific order. But I guess it depends where you live in terms of what you can do, because
some cities offer some things and others don't. Let's get started. Number one, this one is geared
towards people who are more active. This idea would be for guys who like to go rock climbing,
or hiking, or some kind of sport or activity. Take a girl along with you. This is an amazing
first date. A lot of guys like to think that they want to do this with their girlfriends rather than
doing it with someone for the first time. But the best part about it is no girl is going on
first dates going hiking or going rock climbing or doing something crazy like that. A lot of
girls are being taken on dinner dates, which in my opinion, and I've stated this many times before,
are extremely boring. Or for guys out there who are not that athletic, try bowling. I personally
hate bowling, but it's a good date idea. There's a lot of fun involved, you guys are laughing,
cracking jokes, touching. There's a lot of great fun involved so try it out. Number two, and this
is going to be more dependent on what city you live in, so this is better for bigger cities
like New York, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, or Miami or something like that. But try taking them
to different places that are cool around your city. For example, maybe there's an art gallery,
or a museum, or maybe a cool outlook on somewhere. You guys can set up a picnic
and look over a bridge or look over some kind of mountain or something cool like that. Basically,
it's like the first one, the first idea where you guys are going out and doing something,
but it's not as adrenaline filled. It's more just going somewhere awesome. And this date and the
date mentioned before are really good because these offer you guys to do a lot of talking. If
you're doing some rock climbing or maybe you're going hiking or going to a museum or something,
there's stuff to talk about. You can comment on how you guys are doing or this cool art piece.
It's a lot easier to get into conversation when you guys are physically doing something together.
And the third one, which I think is a great date, it's really the old fashioned date. And no, I'm
not talking about dinner, but going to get a drink somewhere. This is a great idea. If you don't like
the first two, or you're just not into that and just want to focus in on conversation, then take
em somewhere where you guys can get a good drink. Go somewhere where there's some cool mixologist
where you get some fun drinks, or go to some kind of place where you can taste a bunch of wine,
or taste a bunch of beer. This is good because you guys are now talking about that, conversation is
easy. Also, unlike a dinner date, it's a lot less pressure. You guys are doing something more casual
like getting a drink instead of sitting down to a formal dinner. And what's good about this is
you can pick somewhere where maybe there's a pool table or there's darts or something fun you guys
can do. It doesn't even have to be somewhere that fancy. It can be somewhere really chill. Just a
cool low key pub where you guys can do some fun activities like that. If you're seeing a pattern
in all of these ideas, it's that there's some kind of activity involved in all three of them.
This leads me to what not to do and where not to bring a girl on a date. You don't want to
bring a girl to the movies. You don't want to bring a girl to a concert. These places,
while they're great dates and they're very traditional dates, that's more for a girl that
you've already gotten to know. But for a first date, the first time you're taking a girl out,
why would you want to go see a movie or go to a concert? You can't even talk to them. It may be
one thing if you really want to take them out to an awesome concert, like The Rolling Stones are
coming in town and it's hard to get tickets. But if you're just going somewhere that's an average
music show or just a regular movie, this stuff is fun but you guys aren't even getting to know
each other. The whole point is you want to be able to impress them enough to take them out on
a next date. You want to get to know each other. Going to a movie or going to a concert or anything
where you guys can't talk is a really bad idea for first date. In conclusion, what do all these
dates also have in common besides activities? They all have to do with some kind of homework. Yes,
that means you. You need to get on your computer and you need to find out what the hell is going on
in your city. What are some cool things you could do? Where can you go? What are the fun places?
What are the new spots that are popping up? Yes, it's going to take research, but you got to do
it. And what's great is if you do the research once, then it doesn't work out with this girl,
the next girl you take out, you're already going to know all of these awesome places in your city
to take a girl on your next date. Guys, thanks so much for tuning in. That was episode 5. I
