mmmmmmmm,,,,,,,,,, ok. Here goes it. I am a well rounded guy. I have run restaurants in and out of the city for the last handful of years. I am a trained chef who left the hot sweaty days of cooking for the headaches and tears of management, lol. I am a musician who used to play all over the country and gave that up for the quiet insanity that is the restaurant world. I was married once before but, I am not jaded. I love being active and busy but, relish the thought of a quiet evening at home relaxing. I am an animal lover and often help out at shelters in and around the city when I can. I don't have any children but, I would like to one day. I am not into games or game playing. But, I do like board games and games of chance. I am spiritual but, not motivated by religion. Anything else, you can just ask... I've found the toughest thing about asking a girl out is figuring out what to do for the first date. Usually people go for either the dinner...or movie...or the cup of coffee in Starbucks routine, but that seems cliche. The dilemma I'm always faced with is that if you don't know the person that well, you don't want to try and pick something more interesting and interactive when the comfort zone just isn't there yet. The typical date ideas just seem like safer bets. However, a lot of times, these typical first date locations feel like job interviews, and I think it's often a recipe for boredom. How is a guy supposed to stand out to a girl by picking the same thing the 10 guys before him picked? My question to women is, what is the ideal first date for you? What should guys be asking you out to do, and what makes you roll your eyes or run for it?
