Veggie View Profile History	First Dates and Dinners Posted : 9 Feb, 2010 01:38 PM Why is it that, if memory serves me right meaning I could be wrong, that according to what I am seeing in a great percentage of profiles, a first date always consist of a meal? I am not saying that there is a problem with it but this is something to be considered. When we eat, blood is shunted from our brains to assist the stomach and other digestive organs with the breakdown of food. The bigger the meal the greater the assistance needed. That is why many times when we eat too much we want to take a nap in spite of all that we do. Our brain's ability to make decisions is greatly affected, and we make some serious decisions around the dating dinner table. Ever awoke the next morning with a fresh, keen mind and realized that you made a wrong decision after dinner the night before and that the date did not go as well as you thought it did at the end of the date when you told her you could not wait for the next date to see her again :laugh: Needless to say, we do the same thing even at business dinners and church board meetings. Yep guys, I can just hear ya thinking now. What else could I possible do on a first date? Chances are that you are going to have to stick with the dinner because that is what women want. Maybe we knew all along by some intuitive way about the shunting of the blood so that you guys can't think straight. What, haven't you heard that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach? :laugh: :laugh::laugh: Just kidding. Post Reply

skinnywhiteboy View Profile History	First Dates and Dinners Posted : 9 Feb, 2010 03:00 PM Well, look at it this way-as a guy you want the woman to be comfortable right? So I take you to dinner because: we're going somewhere public, we can talk without interruption, lots of people = safety. Hope that helps!!:glow: Post Reply

View Profile History	First Dates and Dinners Posted : 9 Feb, 2010 04:04 PM Veggie..... I think the logic behind it makes perfect sense. I always prefer creative options over a dinner to a first date scenario. It's regrettable though that today's modern way of dating actually prevents that from happening. I will say this in FAVOR of dinner being the first date. When we do dinner with somebody... we are "breaking bread". And breaking bread has always been considered the traditional way of sharing. It allows us to give undivided attention to somebody else while sharing. And statistics always show that the families to eat dinner together (preferably at home) tend to be closer tied units. So...when we are having a first dinner date with somebody, we are setting a tone for possible future dinners together. Plus.... when you think about it. Jesus didn't take five golf balls and a putter, turn it into five thousand putters and golf balls, and then tell everybody to have fun playing putt putt while he spoke.... he took bread and fish, fed them.... and then spoke. It calmed the unruly masses. So there was actually advantage to calming people down.... And if I may.... it WAS called "The Last Supper"..... not the last 'walk in the park'...... LOL There was a reason he made dinner one of his final acts of sharing.... just "food" for thought... peace Post Reply
Veggie View Profile History	First Dates and Dinners Posted : 9 Feb, 2010 05:00 PM Great points piano. I am so not against dining together. I would feel completely lost if my family and I did't get together for dinner when I go home. But truly, I did not make any of that info up. If ever we have the occasion, I am one to step out of the box. I spend too much time battling the bulge. You can take me anywhere but near food :laugh: Post Reply
