A close friend of mine went out with a girl on what he thought was a date. During the comedy show that they went to watch, the comedian asked them “so are guys you on a date”? To my friend’s surprise the girl said NO almost at the same time my friend said YES. In retrospect it has become quite a funny incident for us and we often joke about it, But on the other hand it raises one of the most difficult question of a single person’s life trying to infiltrate into the complex world of dating “How do I know it’s a Date”?
Say you went out with someone for dinner followed by a movie but you have not talked explicitly about it being a romantic date or not. Now you are stressed and confused how to approach the evening. If you ask openly you might be labeled strange and desperate but on the other hand if you act too casual the other one will think you are not interested. This seems to be a common concern for many of our members not only because it is complex but also due to the fact we have members from different part of the world and everywhere the concept of dating is perceived differently.
The aim of this fun and relaxing discussion is to share our personal experiences and stories with the goal that by doing so we will not only be able to learn from each other but also probably by the end of the discussion we will be able to formulize a pragmatic theory to his otherwise in comprehendible problem.
Come join us for an exciting evening of fun, relaxing and exciting discussion.
SIDE NOTE:
In an episode of the sitcom Frasier, Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) accepts a dinner invitation from an attractive new co-worker, played by Virginia Madsen, ostensibly to discuss some promotional ideas. He later learns that she has been asking others about his dating status. Frasier spends the entire evening trying desperately to figure out if he's on a romantic date or simply an after-hours business meeting. When asked to make himself more comfortable in her hotel room, he's not sure if she is being polite or making a romantic overture. If he guesses wrong, he may find himself either offending a platonic co-worker or disappointing a romantic dating partner.
