Go local!
In multiple cities across the U.S., CraigsList holds a strong local online presence. The only downside to Craig’s Listings is that they don’t have that nifty little “online now” icon to short cut finding someone who could start making plans with you on contact. Examples of other sites to consider are destinations like AustinSingles .org, local online newspapers, outinatlanta.com, or even narrow down search results to within 10 miles on a site like Match.com. Give priority to the guy who is “online now,” chat for what, a half hour or so, then arrange to meet for dinner.
Unfortunately, this approach won’t guarantee a scintillating date with Ms. Perfect since your main search criteria is someone who is online now and available tonight. Your results will vary. It might be boring or obnoxious. It might be a lot of fun but not go anywhere. Be very specific that you’re looking for a dinner date – you will pay your own way and that you’re not propositioning for a hookup. Surprise chemistry is always fun, but just in case that chemistry is a one way street, you’d be well served to set up the expectations in advance so you can make a graceful exit if needed. Don’t forget to set up all the safety procedures that you normally would for a date with a stranger.
The idea here is to be kinda fun and funny, to talk about the randomness of it all and enjoy that little endorphin rush that comes from a surprise at the end of your day. You can afford to keep it light and simple because it’s just dinner and if you don’t like your date, you can cut it short and owe nothing to the other person by taking responsibility for yourself — paying your own way, driving yourself, meeting somewhere, etc. It can be fun because you don’t have the overhead expectations of Finding A Partner because…it’s JUST DINNER.
This approach also serves the shy, nervous or obsessively analytical dater by decreasing the amount of time you have to obsess about the situation. You make the date and a few hours later you are on it. If you are one of the “must buy a new outfit for a new date” kind of gals…you may struggle with this one unless you have a personal shopper on call who can deliver the latest and greatest to your door within hours.
Some Ideas for Conversation:
•Local art and culture to check out…entertainment…music, movies, etc. Can you sit thru a chick flick? Best concerts ever?
•Where did you go to school? What did you do during the summers?
•How did you get into what you enjoy/what you do for a living?
•Do you have any hobbies that would totally surprise me?
•Play the hypotheticals…ie. If you had a million dollars, what would you do with it? You find yourself completely bored…how do you fill your time? If you owned a desert island…
•What are your friends like?
•Are pets a part of your life?
For the first meeting, try to stay away from topics like politics, religion, family, how many kids you want and sex unless you really enjoy lighting bombs and seeing what happens when they blow up.
In the long run, I think it’s a good idea not to let it go to a hookup lest you train men to think “just dinner” means “just dinner and bauuu, chicka baung baunggg” – if you hit it off that much you can always make another date…this time for breakfast!
