Do you guys actually go on "running errands" dates?

That's a classic idea that goes way back. I think it was Style who suggested a diversion before a date through Target or some department store, on some sudden pretext (e.g. you just remembered, you ran out of bottled water at home and need to buy more). Then you challenge her to find something fun for $1.39 and not a penny more.

I wouldn't go on a "running errands" date, but what I would do is invite the girl out to do something that I'm doing already...AKA bring her into MY world.

For example a week ago I went to a kickboxing gym to get a tour and information about the place and find out how I could start. I invited this girl to come with me who I knew was into mixed martial arts herself. She told me afterwards that she really LIKED what I did because it was so low pressure and an activity that we both had a mutual interest in.

Again, focus on bringing the girl into your world.

I have. Ended in my first F-Close with this one girl.

I went out with her twice. Once bowling, once for dinner and to see a random band. I was feeling her out still (she was cute, but a little nerdy - like...got excited about weird things), but I was having fun with her, so I rolled with it.

The third time - I had just gotten back to the east coast from Vegas, and I was tired, felt disgusting from flying, and all that. I had nothing to do that evening (was a week day, work the next day), so I called her and asked her if she wanted to "run some errands" she was cool with it.

I showered a little late in the night on purpose. She came to my door, and I answered in a towel, again on purpose. She apologized, but I laughed and said it was okay. I told her to sit down, watch TV while I got dressed. It was her first time inside my apartment.

We went to......Sam's Club....because I had just gotten a membership, and wanted to check out all the wholesale goods. We walked around, kinoed by holding hands, playing with some of the merchandise, and whatnot. I made sure we swung by the pharmacy so I could make jokes about the condoms (something like "I'm just disappointed they don't sell the 1000 pack anymore - I find myself spending much more gas going to the store").

So we got back to my place and I asked her if she wanted to watch some TV. She said yes. We watched some TV, one thing led to another, and I closed on my living room floor.

Sam's club...

What's a running errands date?

lovethoseladylumps · 2015-03-17T00:26:15+00:00

Be playful and make sure some of the items are sexy

Curious how those of you who do this pitch it to the girl. "Want to go on a date with me? I have some errands to do. You can tag along." Seems like a hard sell.

Yeah I do this all the time. I own a particularly high end car that needs maintenance all the time. I'll take her to the dealership and we hangout for a bit. Also I'll randoml take a girl to a dealership to test drive a car, and we'll role play about how we're a couple looking for a car. Girls love to role play.

If you got the skills you can make even the most boring of activities fun for a lady.

NO, I meet women while I am running my errands.

Unless you are talking about shopping...a craft fair event or something.

Seems like the advantage would be that you really don't put her on a pedestal. Most girls are use to guys spending a ton of resources on her, so you would stand out (she would think: why is he not fully invested in me... he could do this shit on his time). Does inviting a girl to go shopping (for your self) count? That worked out pretty good for me.

secretmonkeyassassin · 2015-03-17T05:53:02+00:00

Ha, I've done this loads of times, but never realised that it was an actual 'thing' people consciously planned.

I hate shopping, but apparently chicks dig it if you ask them to come help you pick out a few shirts. Even grocery shopping can be a surprise hit, in my experience. This weekend actually, I'm taking a girl to Ikea, because I need a new set of drawers and maybe an outside table.

Anything can be fun if you make it.

That sounds like an awful idea imo. At least give the girl some respect and go to get coffee or something lol
