Suzie just met this new guy, they have been talking on the phone non stop since they met and it's getting pretty close to the conversation of making plans. Finally the guys says, "What do you have planned this weekend?" she says, "Nothing much, why, what's up? He then says, "We should get together this Friday and hang out"..Suzie is elated, of course but she plays it cool, afterall a girl can't seemed too excited about a date so she moves on to the next question which is always "Well what would you like to do?" and the answer that comes out of his mouth is the worst response a girl ever wants to hear as it relates to dating....he replies, "We can just chill over your house and watch some movies, you know something low key"....Suzie in her mind closes up the door to her walk-in closet because she was just thinking of what should could wear to wow him and politely says, "I don't think that's a good idea for our first date......"
This type of situation happens everyday in the dating world, but why does it keep happening? Now I know how difficult it may be to be dating in a recession but that's why Groupons exist! and if money is still tight well suggest we meet in a park and walk or exercise together? anything but the dreaded "let's hang out". Now to me sitting in my space is so intimate it means to me that I feel so comfortable with you that I rather just chill with you without leaving the house. It's sacred and that is not the benefit of a newbie, that is the benefit of boyfriend. Some men even have the notion to invite you over to his place and he doesn't even have a nice environment....no big screen tv, no snacks, no furniture and where the hell is the wine?....Or could it be that if he thinks he can get you in his lair or yours that he will get lucky? I just don't know, so you tell me is he a Homebody?, Couch Potato?, Cheap or a Freak? please share your opinions and experiences
