Has anyone gone on a running date with a girl? How did it go?

I used to smoke a lot and then went on a running date with a soccer player. It was not ideal as I was like a fish out of water if we picked up the pace. But if you keep it to a jog so you can still converse it is a wonderful date. Bonus points if you go a couple hours before the sun goes down. The twilight sets a perfect mood.

Have you fucked her already?

I think if you're both runners then it would be cool. Gets a lot of energy and endorphins flowing, might be nice.

Latest girl I've been hanging is a runner, I've recently gotten into it too.

So I say, why not, let's go on a running date.

We go for about 6 miles, keep a decent conversation going. Probably 9 minute mile pace.

Afterwords we watch a movie, make out. End of the night.

Do it again, second date, this time she's coming back after to my place to stay the night.

My first attempt at a running date was extremely successful. I don't know what it was, but the sweatiness didn't bug either of us. Probably because we were both sweaty.

It's not that hard to run and talk.

Sweatiness didn't bug either of us. We made light of it actually and joked.

I'd make sure I'd at least be able to keep up with her push her pace further. I can't imagine panting and crying for a break after mile 1 would be a turn on.

If you run and she does. Thats a date, talk yes and sweating is burly. I go on trails hikes for dates we have such good talks. Then couple beers after. Good call.

I have a similar question. I'm having a gym-date with a girl today (possibly tomorrow). This will be the 2nd time we do this. The first time we had a coffee before hitting the gym, and worked out for nearly 2 hours. It went OK, she suggested we see each other again. However, usually I kiss the girl on the first date, and it always works.. Except she dodged lol. So now I wanna ensure this time goes better. Suggestions, advice?

Are you both runners? Is she familiar with the place you want to go? If yes, great, why not give it a try and see if that could be a way for you two to casually spend time together outside of actual dates. I feel like something that's a normal routine for both of you is a great thing to have as a way to spend time without feeling like you're going out of the way to spend time.

As for the first time: when doing training runs you should be able to keep up a conversation, this is a sign you're keeping the correct pace. Of course it's fine to speed up for short bursts, but otherwise should be paced. If this means one of you has to slow down a little for the other, do it this time and see if you can deal with it. Of not, this means either you two won't be great running buddies or will run at separate paces if you decide to make it a regular occurrence.

Sweaty is sexy. Even sex is sweaty. So there's that.

You'll be tired after a run, or turned on after a run. Or maybe a bit of both? Either way, if you're both tired it will be chill. If you're both turned on, it will be fun. Of course you'll be able to keep composure, this is just another run and you're trying to share something you like. Keep it casual.

Nobody cares who is more or less fit. You guys are just getting to know each other. If anything you can playfully tease each other about it or offer a lot of encouragement.

Running isnt a date, imo. I used to run with my girlfriend, and we didnt really talk much, just focused on the run. Its more of something you do when you already have the strong rapport established. When the comfort and attraction are at a constant, she wont need any guidance to not feel judged for being sweaty or smelly or not talking or anything like that. Id plan something else.

I'm thinking of going on a running date with this girl I met. It would be our third date. I figure we would run along the river. Maybe a few miles or so.

Running.... I concur with sentiment on this thread that probably it's a terrible idea.

....do you talk when you run?

Do I talk when I run? No. I run by myself. I don't have patience for running with other people unless they're at my level or close to it.

Anyway, asking us if we talk when we run, is pointless. Regardless of whether you're in good enough to shape to talk while running, do you know if she's in good enough shape to run while talking? Because we don't know.

...do you think you can still hold your composure after running?

What do you mean? Composure can mean a lot of things. But if you mean being neat vs messy and things like that.... well, this question is kind of pointless too. You KNOW that running = being a sweaty mess at some point. If not, then you're probably doing it wrong, especially during the summer.

is being sweaty sexy?

It doesn't matter what we think. Look, we don't know this girl. So asking us questions as if we are the girl..... Well, I'm sure by now you are getting that this isn't really helpful to you. I think sweat is sexy. But I know girls who disagree. And some agree. None of this actually tells you if she likes sweat or not.

is it a turnoff if she is in better shape than me?

First off, how about we get more specific here, because you're leaving out too much context and really being too vague here. Exactly what can you tell us about your fitness level? Have you done any sports? Or do you do sports regularly? Do you regularly exercise? How fast and how far can you run? How about her? PLEASE give as much context as possible.
