I don't know about her, but being it is a 1st date. Why on earth would you wanna be making compromises when you don't know for sure if it's going to go anywhere??? IMO

well remind me not to ask you out...unless i let you pick the place, of course.

(it's just a date, not a lifetime commitment)

Was meaning in the sense of figuring out a date that both would enjoy. Not just 1 of the datees. Teebee already stated she wasn't a baseball fan and the guy asked her to a baseball game.

i know, but he did not know that (and still doesn't) when he asked her.

Which is why I said this before..
and Yes, I edited the comment to just that.

and you are right, i wouldn't want her to be bored either. (if i were him)
my ex hated baseball, but she went with me many times and soon found out she enjoyed 'going' to the games as an event. even though she didn't care at all about the outcome.

True!!!

I've never been to a baseball game, so why not.
I did tell him I've never been to a game and he seemed excited, as if he's looking forward to introducing me to something new.

Which is pretty cool

Now you're talking!...Let us know how it goes!

well I usually go to Double or triple A games - or college - BOTH of my alma maters go to mini world series regulary/have great baseball teams traditionally. It's been about 3 yrs since I've been to a triple A or college, and more than 10 yrs since I've been to the Reds in Cinci. I don;t really enjoy the Pros.

I don;t agree with your perspective. I think she should give it a try. It was nice of him to ask and maybe next time SHE can choose the activity. a baseball game is also a good place to chat and let your hair down and have some fun. IDK how many ounces those cups were in Dayton at the Dragons games....wooo hoooo...whose counting ??...lol

Of course compromise is what makes every relationship work.

But Teebee infers that she hasn't even told the guy she doesn't like the idea of going where he wants to take her, on their first date even, so how much fun rather than boredom will she experience?

If guys care anything about the lady they're asking to date they usually find out her likes and dislikes so his first date choice is more to her liking because I assume he IS trying to impress her in some way so he'll get a second date.

Unless he/she has no desire for more than just "hanging out" then it won't matter whether she likes his proposition or not, she can take him or leave him, go or not, it all depends on whether he makes giving of her time to something she won't enjoy worth her while.

When Teebee asks if speaking her mind sounds too forward then I automatically question the playing field, and whether she's being asked to go more as arm candy and fears his rejection if she tells him her personal preferences. If this would be the case then it's up to her if she wants to risk offense by seeming uninterested.

The true answer to this query rests in the nature of the date really.

Hell, it's just a date.

Ain't like she's donating a liver.

She might decide she likes live baseball games.

If it winds up she's bored stiff and tells him she won't do bb games,that could change the direction of any potential relationship.

My experience has shown me, relationship rules are made during the (get to knowing each other phase.)

Hope ya have a blast, Ms Teebee.

Agree!! ....Got to start somewhere....He ask, he's buyin, why the hell not?...Sounds like fun to me!!...I would even offer to pay for the hotdogs and beer!

Mornin hot pants.....

or she might decide she'd rather donate a liver than go to another one...lol
