The First Date: Dos and Don’ts
It is an age-old question: where do I take her on our very first date? Well, now through extensive research and testing, I have finally solved the puzzle of where to take your special one on a great first date.
The Cheesy Fun Lover
If the girl you are taking out is a fun-loving person who adores laughing and eating fantastically cheesy pizza, then you must take her to Ryno’s Pizzeria. In the casual, fun atmosphere of Ryno’s, your date will hopefully see you as someone who doesn’t take things too seriously and also as someone who is relatable and easy to talk to. In addition to the delicious pizza, you will be able to play a variety of arcade games with your date, which will not only initiate physical contact but will also help you to maintain a funny, playful dialogue with your date.
The Cute, Picky Eater
If your girl is a vegetarian, gluten-free, vegan, pescatarian or any other of those eating preferences, then Pyramid Bistro is where you want to take her. You may have to shove quinoa down your throat in order to impress her, but in the end it will be worth it. By taking her here, she will get to know the softer, more feminine side of you. She will also see you as someone who genuinely has an interest in her personal life and her eating habits, which every girl appreciates. The food here is amazing if you are someone who enjoys kale and cous-cous. However, if you are someone who doesn’t like said foods then I would suggest that you order their sublime salmon or the chicken.
The Fish and Image Lover
If the girl you are taking out is obsessed with material goods and her image, then this Matsuhisa is the place you NEED to take her. She may be constantly taking photos of all the food that comes out to send to her friends and you may have to pay over 100 dollars for the meal. However, if you sit through the onslaught of her Instagram and Snapchat missives, then you will be handsomely rewarded, I promise. Not only will she think of you as someone who caters to her lavish lifestyle but she will also see you as someone who is willing to do anything for your girlfriend, a characteristic that is becoming increasingly hard to find in men. In addition to her seeing you as a caring boyfriend you will also be able to eat Matsuhisa’s incomparably delicious, fresh sushi.
The Nature Loving Hippie
If the girl you are taking out is someone who loves being in the outdoors and is addicted to hiking then you will have to take her on a picnic. I suggest that you head on over to Meat and Cheese and pick up some salami, cheese, and possibly even wine, if you are feeling frisky, to bring with you on the picnic. After you have gotten the ingredients for your picnic you will have to choose a hiking trail. I suggest you do the Ute Trail because it is relatively easy and you won’t have such a hard time hiding that you are slightly out of shape. Also, the view when you get to the top is unparalleled in the Aspen area, and is a perfect place to have a romantic picnic. If you manage to reach the top then you this girl will forever see you as someone who enjoys the same activities that she does.
Bottom Line
If you follow these suggestions, then I personally guarantee you that the girl you take out will give good reports to her friends and her families. More importantly, she will finally see you as the one for her.
