Need help! 1st date in over twenty years.....

[Guest]

I don't like the really expensive type dates either, it will be a late evening night time date. I am meeting him at Carolina Place Mall, and we will go somewhere from there.........he said he wished there was a home game this weekend since he was going to be in town and I love the Panthers. He would take me to the game but he is a Falcons fan :( I know strike one already LOL.............

Just going to roll with it I guess.............

If the fun food and music beer and good times at the bbq festival don't suit you (:lol:), try Trio on Pineville-Matthews Road, or FishBone Grill on the same road. Both are about 10 minutes from the mall.

There is also a Hickory Tavern around the corner on Carmel Road. They might have closed it tho, not sure.

Keep it simple. Dinner, not a movie. Do you dance?

I agree no movie, can't really talk and get to know anyone at the movies, and yes I like to dance..........had a good time at the bars in Charlotte last time I went but that seems like ages ago...........

I use to love Coyote Joe's but last time I was in there it seemed to be overloaded with teenagers, LOL.

[pantherschic]

thank you....stealing that.

Thought that place was condemned?

Too late, they are demolishing it today.

Damn.........I am so disappointed! LOL!!

Not bad and right up the road, although its been a couple years.

Good luck, pc!

Thanks sunbunny!!

My boo just introduced me to Trio a couple weeks ago.

Lived in Charlotte my whole life and have never been there, no idea why.

It was very good, its so open inside!! There was a guy playing guitar the night we were there, but not too loud b/c we could still talk to each other.

Plus, they have a HUGE patio.....good call catfang!

[pantherschic]

its a damn good thing there isn't a game....don't wanna be seen at the game with a Falcants fan. He better have a damn good personality/sense of humor!

Late night? Go somewhere swanky and laid back....like a Basil type place where you can go have some cocktails and apps and just talk for a while without anyone bothering you.

Anyone know a place like that out near CPlace? I would imagine you don't want to be driving all the way into dt Charlotte. Sounds like it should be a pretty good "get to know you" sort of thing.

If he's smart, he will go wherever you want.

Only question is where he will be staying that night;).....woooooooooooooo!

LOL, yes if he took me to a game I would have to ask him to wear the appropriate attire.........and we have been talking on the internet for two months so I feel like I know him a little but would like to go someplace that is good just to get to talk and then maybe to a few clubs in downtown. He said he likes to dance we will see............Oh and the where will he be staying that night is still up in the air right now, gonna see how things go ;)

Thanks Boo............

Sounds like a good time! You kids have fun!!

I'm super pumped now b/c we are going to the BBQ and Blues...

thanks catfang!

if you're over 60 and want to be done eating and out the door by 8, go to Trio

Fishbone is good..at Carmel and 51

Hickory Tavern is now on Johnston rd..by 485...in its place is CharBar..overpriced pretentiousness of a bar..but good for a first date

Go to Cosmo's out that way if you want to eat and dance..I've heard it's fun, and you don't have to go downtown

Thanks Mrs Pantherfan...........my cousin had mentioned Fishbone, probably a good place to start the night anyway.............;)

OK, I am going out this weekend this will be my first date since my husband and I separated in March, we were married twenty years.

PC

Dang...did you get married when you were 10? cause damn.. you look young in your avi. Good luck!

Fishbone is always a good choice!

I got married when I was 18.............I am 39..........I like to tell him I am 21 years old with 18 years of experience!!! LOL

Just remember to put out at the end of the night and you will be fine.

As a guy I can tell you that the actual "date" part is just a formality and a vehicle to try and get you as drunk as necessary to get to at least third base.

If he thinks there might be a little action at the end of the date he will go to McDonalds if you want him to.

Remember, you have the power of the punany. Use it wisely oh chosen one.
