I am going to have to agree with your mom on this one. Assuming you did not know the girl that much, you are expecting too much from a stranger. Not necessarily her being uninterested, but the level of compliance you are demanding seems out of touch with how much you know each other. In short, it sounds like the girl had no reason to have sky-high interest because she didn't know you enough, not because her IL was low.

Although, imo, she made the same mistake, as the sit and app dinner was also asking too much.

At a going away party for my cousin at a bar with the whole family. Texted to confirm a date earlier that night with a gal, she confirmed and flaked later and didn't show. Mother and sister both chimed in on how i should do dating and first dates

F1: How'd the date go?
Me: It didn't, she confirmed and then flaked
F1: Oh that's too bad
F2: Why'd she flake?
Me: Idk, women flake for whatever reason, she missed out on a fun date of beer and bowling
F1: Well what did you do then?
Me: so you think i did something wrong?
F1: well yeah...
Me: i offered beer and bowling, she countered with apps and sit down dinner. I said nah, I'm into action dates and goofing around. She said cool
F2: Well what if she didn't like bowling? you've got to compromise.
Me: compromise on a first date??? shes not doing well if shes counter offering agaisnt me.
F1: Yea you have to decided to do something you both like together
Me: the date is irrelevant, if shes interested, she'd have fun letting me lead and doing whatever with me.
F2: what do you mean by lead?
Me: lead the situation, create the fun, have a good time....
F2: Christopher.....you're suppose to compromise. This is why your dating life is so bad
Me: Nah my dating life is great, If a girl doesn't like beer and bowling, then i can rule her out as long term potential. plenty more out there to have fun with.
Me: I'm gonna go play pool


Even my mother and sister aren't immune to the entitlement that they think they should get. everything should be a compromise, even on the first date.

Ever played corn hole, Kuub, Norwegian golf? Big fun for tailgating, but also fun for dates. Little competition and a chance to get out and drink instead of at a bar

What's your guys take on public park dates? I honestly love them. Play lawn games, walk, sit on benches. I get a lot of resistance from that one. It's a public place and people are always around. No different than a bar

I've done the public park thing several times but it has always came after drinks at a bar that was in close proximity. Most seemed delighted and I think it was something different.

I have a cardboard box I bring with, with sticks and cubes inside. Set it up and play. It's always a good fun quick date. Plus I bring 2 beers. So I can literally do 3 dates with a 6 pack of bud light

Summer months in Texas not much. But yeah in the cooler months this could work. We have tons of breweries here that have set-ups like corn-hole, big jenga etc.
