I guess it's just me, but I'm not a fan of each person disguising who you really are on the first date. Chances are, if this lasts, the guy is going to see you having a couple drinks, watching Panther football, and not all dressed up way more often than going to a nice restaurant all dressed up and such.
and the focus will be on the game. not a good thing.

Whats wrong with that? Conversation starter so there's no awkward silences.

Sidenote: I didn't go to State but I have a friend who did and he has season tickets and wants to take me to a couple games this year. He wants to get me into college football so I don't freak out if there is a lockout next year. Sounds like its pretty fun!

Ok seriously. Watching a football game together several dates in = good. First date = bad.

High 5's, beer chugging, and wings. See to me this is the quickest way to be thrown into the friends zone. Later on this would be ok not the first date.

Its difficult for me to believe this, but Panthro speaks wisely here. :D

I meant to respond to this yesterday, but if I went on a first date and the setting is like you described, I'd also wonder if she just wanted to be friends.

Its a pre-season game, and the biggest joke game of them all too. Go to Brio and have a nice dinner, drinks.

If you DO decide to just hang and watch the game together, and if it turns out you like the guy, make sure you are very flirty with him so there is no question about the friend thing.

You will be able to tell if he is into football as much as you pretty quickly. If he is not into it, you want him to know that it is important to you. Actually if he knows your rescheduling a date because of a preseason football game, he already knows your hardcore. I wouldn't worry about it.

It's a first date. If you guys are desperate to fill in the silence you may need to find another person already. That's why movies suck to go to on dates. The focus is on the screen.

I offered to switch the day. I told him that I would be happy to go any other day this week or next week. Hes the one that said it was ok and he would be happy to come watch the game with me. I prewarned him that I would be wearing a jersey...well now that I think about it Im gonna wear a Panthers tanktop prob not my jersey. I feel like if I told him no he couldn't come he would think I was blowing him off. I know y'all don't care that its preseason, but I do. I wanna see my team on the field. Brio would be nice another night though...

Of course he said it was ok. I object! Leading the witness, your honor.

Panthro is right...the focus should be on getting to know each other. But what I have found is that dating rules should be guidelines only. I have two friends who got lucky on their first date and then married that person for more than 10 years. One is still married. So much for that rule.

I dated a girl for almost a year recently and this is how our first date began...with her waiting at my apartments for me to get home from work so we could go out to eat (she was traveling through town). Not exactly by the rules, right? And yet we hit it off.

Go with what you feel. If you feel this guy would like going to a football game first, then do it. You can still get to know each other afterward. But again, as Panthro said, high-fiving and acting like a guy won't send the right signal. The whole goal of a first date is to see if you want a second date.

      Bears fire Matt Eberfus

      His o loaded with swift, dj, Keenan and Rome was inconsistent at best. The d was bad. And the game management was atrocious and lost them games.  He was terrible and made the team worse. I wish they kept him

      That is my point.  I think teams make a huge mistake when they pay their decent to average QBs top QB money because they feel that they have to match the market or lose their investment--There is no way, for example, that Tua or Prescott or Murray should all be making more than Mahomes--I mean, Dak makes $15m per season more than Mahomes. People say, "Well, when its his turn...." But that is not how it should be--so my point was that Bryce can be doing mediocre to good enough in 2 years, but the way it is going, you have to pay him at the starting QB rate--currently $60m.  So even if you think he will continue to improve, at $60 m, he would eliminate any chance for a ring---so my view is, if he is not elite, you cut him.  So you draft QBs now and see what you can make of them.

      With two 4ths and three 5ths I’m hoping we can kill it on adding depth. Take a gamble with the two 7ths.  First 3 picks id love to address the defense. I expect Tuttle, Robinson, and Jewell to all be on the 2025 roster but not after that. Be a good time to add depth and let them develop a year.
