So i messaged the girl after a day of waiting, and all went well! Ive got a date for saturday night! wwoooop!! Oppo's advice has proved itself useful again. But i have another question....

So im meeting her after we both get out from work and then were going over to the food establishment. Is it wise for me to offer her to ride in my car, so we dont have to take 2 cars to the same place? I suppose its gentlemanly to ask regardless? right?

I always say something like this in that situation: "I would be happy to pick you up and also totally understand if you'd rather meet me there. Let me know what you prefer"

the thing is, we work in the same general area, and she parks in the same lot as me. But ill word it somehow to give an option. I guess just offering is the key.

The best advice I can give you as a happily married man is don't consult an autoblog on how to approach this girl. Be yourself, and if she likes you she'll stick around, if not you don't want her around.

Definitely drive, though. No handbraking.

Yeah just offer so she knows you care.

If she's cool with you driving then you could bring her back to the lot. Or she could stop home first and you could pick her up so she can drink.

Bitches love straight line speed, but they don't want to get all flung about.

More advice for the young man:

The automobile is also a great place to test out your music compatibility. Fortune favors the bold in this aspect of courtship. Upbeat music, positive tunes are going to do best.

Have A drink at dinner, tops, and drive her home in a spirited fashion, demonstrate a joie de vivre. If you're happiest behind the wheel of a car, like I am, that's exactly where you want her to see you.

I was only kidding. I know my gf definitely loves when I downshift and gun it.

I wont be drinking, so i wont expect her to either. I guess ill just go with the flow and see what happens.

haha that line was more tongue and cheek... I just like to hear some opinions. I mean, i really dont have anyone else to ask. So i just like it talk it out over oppo. But ive really been going with my gut on most of my actions so, all this advice could be thrown right out the window. haha

No handbraking... Check.

Vtec?

Im thinking of just turning on the radio to a popular station. Maybe ill ask her whats her favorite station? You really think i should drive spirited? lol, that seems risky...

Fuck the radio, make a playlist or a cd and have it already playing when she gets in the car. If music isn't your thing for some reason, do some research. If you're forced to play the radio, don't ask her which station and keep the music low. While I might advise you to be yourself, that's not to say you shouldn't try to control as many environmental variables as possible. Don't leave the music (one of the most important aspects of a drive) to a radio station, unless you have an exceptional college station in your area, but even then those can be unreliable, you never know when they are going to pull out their world music or death metal hours.

And yes, in my experience spirited driving. The very first date I had with my wife started with an hour long drive to catch a football game. Because I had trouble finding her place in the nasty web that is New Orleans, I was running about 20 minutes behind. We hopped in my lightly-modded 2001 Jetta Wolfsburg edition, and set off up I-10 at unreasonable speeds. I was going to make it on time but got pulled over going 114 in an 80 (I was young and very stupid) just outside Baton Rouge. At this point she was pretty freaked out, but how I handled the cop and still managed to get us there in a reasonable time, somehow worked for me. I don't suggest reproducing any of that particular behavior, but every girl I ever dated (including the one I married) pointed to time in the car with me as some of their favorite, and trust me I never drive slow.

One could also point to the mounds of scientific evidence to suggest that adrenaline on a first date builds a stronger bond between people. Something about how brain is wired to fall in love.

Don't drive like an ass though, it's a fine line, a very fine line. If you can't generate excitement without also driving very smoothly, forget what I'm talking about. But if driving is one of the things you're best at in this world, and you've got an OK car to demonstrate it, then driving it well is exactly the sort of thing you should be doing on a date. It's like dancing for those of us who can't dance very well.

One last thing: opening a door for a girl is never going to get you in trouble.

Well i got worried over nothing. I asked her if she would like to drive over the the restaurant in my car, but she declined... I didnt push it any further and just let it roll. The rest went very well and as i expected, you can never plan how something like this will go. And yes, i did open the doors for her, i feel thats expected of me.

And that sounds like quite the first data haha. I dont quite always drive that fast haha.
