Drinks or coffee . Give her those two options . If she doesn’t drink alcohol then you go with coffee date . First dates work well as a short one hour date to see if you like her. If it’s going well go for a walk after

Apparently she prefers to do the drinks and she said that my place sounds better than the bar. I’ve never been in such spot, scary stuff, lol.

That’s great ! Make sure your place is clean, have good music drinks and soft lights ready :)

I tend to always go for drinks. Its better if there is something going on in the bar, like karaoke or a quiz night. That'll ease the tension and help you think of things to talk about.

That’s what I thought and offered. Apparently, things took a pretty interesting/scary turn because she said that she prefers to meet at my place rather than a bar. I’ve never been there tbh, cause I’ve always thought that offering to meet at my place on the first date is a little bit too forward. I am scared, lol.

Man I'd hop on the opportunity to hold a first date at my place. Its really easy to close when you're at home already.

Yeah man, obviously, I agreed. My momma raised no quitter, as the classic phrase goes.

I think drinks are fine for a first date. Maybe try to pick a place where there are games to play or maybe somewhere that would allow you to bring your dog with you.

I prefer to take them to a nice dimly lit underground cocktail bar. I will also order some large shared cocktail so we are forced to share. She’s got no choice in either venue or drink.
It’s very easy to escalate from there.

Drinks with something to distract you from each other , a music venue or comedy show usually work great. It will give you a conversation topic outside of you two talking about yourselves which is usually easier to be open with , good luck have fun . Smile and make lots of eye contact
If she said your place instead of a bar, play it slow she is most likely DTF so you just have to play it cool she’s already ready for it

Drinks are the same as coffees and dinners, sit across each other and talk talk talk.
You know the saying, 93% of communication is non-verbal.
So why not have a date where you aren't just sitting down so that you can fully take advantage of that?
If not drinks, what alternative do you propose?
Activities.
What activities?
You should actually get to know the girls you meet rather than talking at them so you'd know what they'd be into.
If the girls you get to know don't really know how to have a good time and just sit indoors and watch Netflix after work everyday then you should be regularly doing fun things in your life regardless of whether you have a girl with you or not.
When you have that then whenever you meet a new girl you won't even need to go out of your way to have a cool date with her.

This part is for everyone reading this comment
A lot of you have sent me direct messages asking for my advice because you read a comment I made on this sub, just like this one, and found it to be very helpful/insightful/meaningful and I'm happy to say I've been able to help you guys so much more because of that.
Here's the problem: More and more messages are coming in and I really want to help but its getting hard to keep up.
So I've put together a Telegram group for you guys that want to improve your dating lives and want to actually understand the psychology behind our interactions with not only women but with ourselves and people in general.
If you want to be part of a group that believes in finesse over brute force, technique over strength, smart work over hard work, Seduction over pursuit then send me a direct message with your Telegram username.
If you are serious about getting better with women then I'll be happy to welcome you in.
