Hi Everyone,

This weeks Off-Topic topic is… dun dun duuuuun… First date experiences. Which you probably guessed from the title.

How did they go ? Have you had many/few ? Tell us about the one that went terribly. Tell us about the ones that were fucking awesome. What was the difference between the two ? Have you been on "blind" first dates ? How did they go ? Did they differ from more conventional dates in any systematic way you can see ?

What really humorous anecdotes do you have ? What advice do you have for other males and/or females on how to handle first dates ?

Do you have some rules you try to follow ? Is it a complete free for all ? Do you let your partner guide the date , or do you actively plan and guide the date yourself ? (I suspect this one will break down on gender lines).

Have at it on all aspects of first dates, normal rules are in place.
