I'm a young producer / director. I'm in the midst of casting a show plus I go to lots of industry events. There are tons of amazingly hot girls, many of whom are fairly high profile. I want to date them.
Doing the "lets grab coffee or a drink sometime and talk about X" can work (except in the casting room, I consider that a no-go zone like the gym, unless anyone has advice to support the contrary) but I have no idea how to state my intent there. Under those circumstances that drink or coffee is under a professional pre-tense. I don't love that. It's sort of sneaking into a date. But it seems unprofessional and not good for the reputation to say "I think you're beautiful, I want to take you on a date" under NORMAL circumstances. Again, the interactions prior to this are always in a profesional group setting. Usually the series of events is: Meet at some sort of industry function / exchange info / she'll often email saying "nice to meet you bla bla bla" to which I have a good open to "lets grab coffee".
I've been on one of those faux dates before. I had the impression she was there professionally. She's a lot higher up the social rank than I am (well known actress). After an hour of professional talk I started to transition away from that and talk about travel and then relationships. The transition worked but the relationship talk didn't work to my advantage (she basically said, in a round about way, she dates older rich dudes, ha) . Who knows though, it could have been just her in that situation.
This has been overly long already. The point is - How should I operate in this situation? I prefer to date actors and models, so this is a great place to meet them versus a bar. I guess what I am really looking for is
- Is there a better way to set/frame the date in the beginning if I haven't been able to create attraction in person prior? Should I do a few email exchanges trying to build attraction prior to setting a date?
- Do I just build comfort then attraction while on the professional part of the "date" and transition it into a real date with a venu change?
Any thoughts on this would be extremely helpful.
