Ooh Avengers are pretty! To be fair though, rolex attracts way too much attention even if it's a steel model

Yeah, and for every watch aficionado who knows what it is, there's 8 fawning douches. And if someone doesn't know you and they spot a Rolex, they're going to make some assumptions about you. I'd rather avoid that. There are so many cool watches out there, there's no need to wear one that comes with baggage.

At least every watch only shows the time, no matter how pricey. You could see that very exclusively or cheap.

Curious, do you guys usually dress up pretty nicely when you meet for the first time or do you just stay moderate and average dressed?
Also, how are y'all determining whether to go for a coffee or for an actual dinner lol? |

Moderate. Usually nice jeans with a decent shirt. My first meet is usually for coffee though. The goal is look casual but well put together. I do coffee when meeting online because it's easy and gives you an idea of what the person is like especially if you met online. Dinner is usually awkward anyway. For a second date I'll do something fun or competitive like mini golf and lunch. Third would be dinner at one of the local casinos or something.

I typically meet for coffee or maybe a happy hour. I dress to fit the location. I dress pretty generic - no designer logos, put my watch in my pocket. I'm pretty guarded unless/until I feel some mutual connection and trust. I just want to see if we can have a few laughs together, with as few preconceived notions floating around as can possibly be managed.

I usually shoot for 30-45 minutes. I've had them go a few hours, though, if I'm not booked elsewhere and the conversation's fun and easy. I try to maintain a conversational tone, but I ask some probing questions. I'm there to get an impression of their character and some answers to questions that are deal-breakers for me (and might be for her too). I can be direct without it feeling like an interrogation. If they're dodgy with their answers, then we're done.

Met someone who seems pretty chill, been talking for like 2 weeks and told her I'd take her out to dinner but now I feel like I should've just said coffee from the responses here lol. |

One thing I like is I don't have to text her first always. She'll text me to say hi and likes to keep it simple (ex: something that happened at work). I find this to be rare amongst females these days since they rarely like to text first.... is this what you all notice as well? |

I'd say the opposite scenario, where you have to send Rico and Bubba and Bones over with the baseball bats and tire irons to get someone to reply to your text, demonstrates a definite lack of interest. Or possibly a chaotic train-wreck of a life. Or shitty time-management skills. Or bad OCD. Or a combination thereof. And while we might wonder or speculate which one(s) it is, does it really matter? Either they demonstrate interest and stay in the game, or they don't and get benched.

1- i probably could qualify as an alcoholic 2- chances are, she could too (college campus). Used to go on coffee dates, but they tore down my favorite coffee shop. I loved going there because I'd try to have the date when one of my buddies was working (free coffee), and if shit hit the fan 95% chance someone else I knew would be around so I'd try to pull them in to the conversation and get her to leave Was big on dinners, but didn't take for my buddies to realize I was probably saved as "free food" on the girls' phones so that ended quickly. :I |
