I found myself writing a comment for a dude who had some questions about dates. This is my personal guide when it comes to structuring dates :

  1. No money! A 5-star dinner with creme brule at the end is the worst thing you can possibly do. First of all it sets this "courting" vibe in which the girl knows to give you a peck on the cheek after the 17th candlelit dinner. Secondly if you're going on multiple dates(as any good aspiring PUA should), you'll go broke.
  2. Don't be a cheap-ass! Some guys take the the first point to heart and will never ever ever ever pay for anything! If you're going for a coffee or grabbing something to eat and it won't mean you'll starve next week, you can pick-up the tab. Sometimes girls will offer to split the bill so there's that too.
  3. Fuck movies! This is more my personal rule than a general one. I think a movie is an interaction between yourself and the screen, that's it. No other people. This. Fuck it. If you want to escalate, you can do it much faster, much more directly, much less creepy in a park bench or a coffee shop than wasting 2 hours watching a movie you're not even paying attention to.
  4. Fuck introducing her to your world! Hollywood shows us these movies where the guy takes the girl to this secret awesome epic location, a helicopter ride(50 Shades) or like a rooftop where he "goes to think" and is all mysterious and romantic and shit. Now if you're passionate about something e.g. art you can definitely arrange some art gallery thing, but for most guys they tend to overthink it and come up with no ideas(like you).
  5. Remember your goal! Your goal is not to woo her or amaze her or whatever. Your ultimate goal is to pull her to your place or some other location and make love to her. I did this mistake often. Raking my brain for brilliant date ideas and awesome views to blow her mind. No! You ultimately want to pull her! To that end, be practical. Don't arrange to meet on the other side of the city where it will take hours to come back to your place. Make it 20 min walk tops.
  6. Keep it simple! Simple as in a walk holding hands, or strolling through a park or going window shopping or sitting in a city square or going into a Starbucks. There, 4 good, cheap ideas for dates, pick one and stick to it. When you're having 4 dates a week, you will be stressed out if you need to come up with different date ideas for each. Instead meeting in a shitty bar 10 minutes away from my place chat then pull. That's it.
  7. Be patient! A lot of people envision dates with tons of makeouts and huge declarations of love, anything short of that means "it's not going anywhere", they awkwardly say "bye" and leave to masturbate. A lot of girls will indeed shove their tongue down your throat in the first 5 minutes, but many won't. She wants to know you're a normal dude who won't chop her in pieces and kill her. It is law that if 2 human beings spent time together, they will grow familiar to each other. Many times she gives no "IOI"s, doesn't react very well to physicality...that's fine, she's still there.
  8. Physical escalation will not do itself! Be patient but also escalate and there are tons of videos on this topic so go watch those if struggling.

Now go forth and fuck!
