i have been told that i should go on some practice dates. I dont think this is fare to the women even if i would just stay friends. what do you think?

Interesting! I would say if the girl knows ahead of time... perhaps she is doing the same??? Why would they recommend this to you?

I guess I don't think it's a bad thing to try and go on different dates. The more you date, the more you learn about how different people function, and what you want.

Must be something new. . . .Like Speed Dating

Aren't all dates practice dates? I mean, you don't know if you really like someone until you go out on some dates.

Reminds me of 'play dates.'

Then I would have to break out my fine China so we could talk over glasses of invisible tea while eating invisible muffins...Sounds like a lot of work, I'll pass.

hmmmmmmmmmmmm....interesting....Does this involve some sort of "dating coach"?

LOL...So how far do you take these "Practice Dates"? I mean do you just end it on the outside of her door at the end of the night or do you keep practicing through to the inside and maybe breakfast in the morning?...lol

Ok..I'm confused lol
Is there really a such a thing as practice dating?..maybe if you took your sibling out as a wing person to show you what to do or not to do..wouldnt it be the same as going out with your friends?

Why does it have to be complicated?
It doesn't! If you like a woman..ask her out and have fun.Be yourself,be honest and you can always walk away if you have doubts or problems with her..its that simple

If you're honest and upfront about it, what's the probelem?

Datings are drills anyway. Kind of testing the bonds between two people and seeing if they can go steady. We just don't go shove it to our potential partner's face and say, "Let's go on a practice date, babe." Surely would get us failing grade on that.

Practice dates????

I thought I did that when I was 13-14-15 years old?!?!?!

Patterns establish early and they don't change...practice will not help if you are an adult.

If you need to change something about yourself...it has to be a cear and consious descision.

Hmmm practice dating.
Which is actually, practice for mating.
That's a lot of practice.
Not like you can play the piano after.

seems to me that all dating is just for practice. especially first dates. we date to explore what's out there and with every date we hopefully practice the things that we think will attract the other person for future dating leading to more than just dating. we discover what works and what doesn't, hopefully, and what works for the other person differs between persons. so yep, practice dating is what it's all about.

Welcome back, jr!

Instead of "practice dating" someone you're not interested, why not actually ask out women you're interested in? There's no need to practice.

Misunderstanding .. I think he means the practice of different dates so he can end with a happy ending one

I would say what I see .. I see that you shouldn't intend to practice it for practice as ethically practice in itself shouldn't involve anyone else except if you "both sides" decided it to be casual dating and just having fun

I mean be yourself, don't pretend, don't hide any of these thoughts from your companion even if it's your first date as you are starting a relationship and else you are driving it in a wrong way from the beginning.

Hope it works !

Heck I have been practicing for over 35 years and still have not found one I want a real date with......

heck, I can't find anyone that I wanna practice date with

men r psycho these days
