Blondes have always had a reputation for having more fun…but do they really? According to a British online survey, blondes are more likely to have a crushed heart on their first date than brunettes or red-heads. A third of first dates in Britain end in “disaster” and blondes are a quarter more likely to have their dreams of true loved nipped in the bud.
Twenty-eight percent of the blondes tried to seduce their date with stories about their ex and previous sexual experiences while 14% admitted getting too drunk. Some even can’t remember the name of their date. 30% of men and 20% of women admitted to going home with their date, with one in four men and one in five women saying they had later bedded them.
A total of 1,300 people were surveyed to discover why so many first dates ended with both parties vowing never to cross paths again. Of the 18 million first dates “enjoyed” by Britons every year, as many as 6 million never progress to a second date. Wonder how that compares to Americans?
I go to college and share an apartment with 3 girls. Last week one of my roommates had a blind date. She complained for days that she didn’t want to go out with him. Sara (not her real name) is never ready when a date arrives. She keeps them waiting, sometimes for 30 minutes or more.
I met a girl recently at a bar and asked for her phone number. After talking on the phone a few times, I asked if I could take her out on a date. I’m not sure where to take her on a first date. I’m 25 and she’s 23. We both like to go out to bars, but I want to take her somewhere that we can have a conversation where I can get to know her better. What would be a good place to go to?
Personally, I would want to go to dinner or a cafe. Or a quiet bar where the music won’t drown out our conversation. Also, you can’t really talk at a movie, so if you do that, I would suggest going somewhere else afterward. Getting ice cream is always fun, too.
