Picking the right spot for a date can be a crucial factor in its success. In a recent survey, a Reddit user asked women about the places they would never consider for a date, and here are the best 21 responses.
Arcades
“I did this twice – it was too noisy and difficult to talk. Definitely no-go.”
“I will struggle to not go into competitive mode and ruin the date.”
Strip Clubs – No Thanks!
“Anything that indicates that someone sees nothing wrong with objectifying people – no, thank you.”
Funerals – Hardly A Cheery First Date
“My uncle took my aunt to one on their first date, and it worked out for them, but I refuse.”
“First date at a funeral? What a way to meet the family.”
Wedding – Save It For Later
“Watching everyone else celebrate their love? I’d rather wait a while, thanks.”
“I don’t want to be stuck in the corner with my date’s second cousin ten minutes into the date.”
Fast-Food Restaurant
“Fluorescent, plastic seats are not exactly conducive to an intimate atmosphere.”
“The mix of perfume and greasy burgers do not bode well together.”
A Family Gathering – Am I On Trial?
“Why subject yourself and your date to the scrutiny of your family on a date? That’s like jumping into a pool of sharks!”
“I wouldn’t be able to fully relax. It’s as though I’m on trial.”
Camping – A Great Adventure… But Maybe Not For A Date
“Those pesky mosquitoes might ruin the romance with their love bites….”
The Cinema – Sitting In Silence!
“For first dates, I will never understand why you would go to the movies! You just stare at a screen without speaking.”
Adrenaline Adventure or Dating Disaster?
“While soaring through the air with a jetpack sounds fun, I’d prefer to actually talk to my date.”
“I don’t want to be pulling my date out of 60-inch snow by the legs.”
Somewhere That Requires A Long Drive
“If the date goes South, why would I want to add a long, awkward car ride to the mix?”
“A recipe for a disastrous date is one far from home.”
Hot Air Balloon – Can We Go Down Now?
“Do not do hot air balloon rides on a first date. Nowhere to go if things aren’t great, it’s expensive, and honestly, it’s really too romantic.”
“Hot air balloons are something you do with friends and family or someone you’re in a relationship with, definitely not a first date thing.”
Your Parents’ House
“Worse yet, you bring her to your parents’ house, and it turns out to also be her parents’ house.”
Bowling
“You’d be surprised how boring bowling for two can be unless you’re wasted or just really into bowling.”
“With a few people, you’d get some time to chat during downtime. Meanwhile, with just two, there’s always one person down on the lane.”
Hiking – No, I’m Not Going Into The Woods Alone With You
“The number of guys who ask to go on a hike for one of the first few dates is unreal. No, I’m not going into the woods alone with you.”
“It’s unfortunate because I can honestly see guys thinking it’s a good wholesome date.”
Somewhere That I’m Not Able To Leave
“Any place where I can’t leave if things go South, like his place, hiking or a big park at night.”
“An actual date on a hiking trail sounds super romantic until you realize how creepy you sound saying, ‘Hey, wanna go out to the forest with me?'”
Wingstop – This Isn’t A Good Look
“There’s no sexy way to eat a sauce-drowned chicken.”
“I made this mistake once. I had to triple-wash my hands to make sure I got all the habanero sauce off.”
Nightclubs – Can’t Hear Myself Think!
“I couldn’t hear myself think over the loud music, let alone carry on a conversation.”
“I’m honestly not sure if the pulsing bass was getting me in the mood for romance or if it was just giving me heart palpitations.”
Gym – A Date Workout
“The date ended promptly when I smashed his bench press record.”
“If someone even suggests that, I immediately write them off. Like…where do I even start?”
Their House – Not So Fast
“A guy I went on a date with last night was pushing for us to go to his place after we had something to eat. I knew where he was going with that and politely declined.”
Ice Skating – It’s Only Ending One Way
“It was going well until I slipped, and the date ended in the hospital.”
“I’d be so focused on not falling that I’ll forget to actually make conversation with my date.”
Video Game Bar – The Gaming Realm Might Not Be Ideal
“Unless I was a seasoned gamer, I don’t think I’d appreciate spending the evening controller-in-hand.”
Hookah Bar – Please, No Smoke And Mirrors
“Someone tried to take me to a hookah bar. NO. He knew I was a non-smoker. Why would that make sense?”
“I need a more clear-headed location, so I can actually remember my date’s name.”
Museum Mishaps
“I’d rather the date not turn into a headache-inducing nightmare filled with talk of ancient potter shards and bones.”
“I don’t want to brush up on my prehistoric knowledge at this moment… or any moment, for that matter.”
