Romantic Gentleman
For first dates, we would avoid the following Loud Music Concerts, Films and Theatre. After
the first date, then these things come back into
the mix, but as we said the first date is really
about conversation not action. For outside of the
box dates, think a walk, a museum, a picnic out
(weather permitting), a historical walk with a
private guide and there are many others. The
PG team have taken dates to Bookstores, the
Zoo, the Planetarium, Wine Tastings and many
more.
If you are choosing a restaurant, think about the
food choices, simple and good is best, try and
avoid messy food restaurants on the first date,
you might think it is fun until your crisp white
shirt is covered in some kind of sauce and you
look like a slob.
Preferably choose a restaurant without
turnaround times. You don’t want to be in the

middle of a great conversation when the Bill is
placed in front of you!
If it is a dinner date, do let her know the
restaurant, so she can look to dress to suit the
quality of the establishment. If you are doing
something else, then do give your date the
opportunity to be able to dress appropriately,
you don’t want her in High Heels, if you are
planning a work through the park.
Finally, think about the impression you want to
give of yourself, the date you choose will reflect
that. Planning a walk round a Museum and then
a casual lunch? Think about what message that
conveys as does dinner at a very fancy
restaurant that is generally out of your price
bracket. Think comfortable for you and your
date. Think about your choice and make it
relevant
