Going to Lunch

[familyguyfan]

In a little under two weeks I will be going to prom. The girl I'm going with I do know fairly well and I've hung out with her before, but not in a long time. So, anyways, I want to get to know her a little better before prom so it goes as smoothly as possible. I've started to like the girl more recently so I'd like to hook up with her after prom, and hopefully potentially make it into a relationship, but I'm not gonna push for that unless prom goes real well.

Anyways, I figure the best way to have prom go smoothly aside from just applying all the DJ skills all night will be to hang out with her some before prom. So, this Saturday I think I'm gonna ask her to go out to lunch.

While any other tips on making prom go as best as possible, etc. are by all means welcome and encouraged, my main question is whether or not I should pay for her lunch. I don't even know if I am myself going to consider it a date because my main goal isn't for lunch, it's that I want prom to go real well. I kind of feel like I should pay for it (but in a carefree way, maybe saying my mom just gave me some money that day and I don't mind spending it), but then again since I doubt she would consider it a date, I also feel like I don't need to. What do you guys think?

I myself would just ask her to meet for lunch, and figure she would pay for herself. Most likely she'll assume she's paying for her own meal anyhow, don't go anywhere fancy either. Chill, prom will be fine.

Yeah, I'm not planning on going anywhere real nice. Just a regular place.

And for prom I'm not worried that it's gonna go bad, I just think I will have a better shot at hooking up with her after prom and/or turning it into a relationship if I get to know her better beforehand.

Flirt. By all means Flirt. Flirt!

Just ask her about payment. One of my favorites is when I say "Wait... so youre going to pay for me, right?" The girl will notice the confidence, flirtiness, ****iness and humility with this sentance. She might say after this, "What?! Aren't you suppost to pay for me?" Then you say "Oh, well its not like were dating or anything......... (then subtly, inquisitively and sneakily say) or are we?" Then touch it off with a friendly wink followed by some kino on the back - prefferably a 1½-2 second rub on the back. She wont know what hit her. If done right she'll be like putty in your hands



Oh, also - on the subject of where, its always better to take them to nicer places if you can afford it. It shows class, just make sure that they understand you're doing it because you're a classy guy, not because you want to be walked over. Girls like class. But if you're poor (unlike me) then you could probably just take her to a local restraunt, preferably a non-franchise restraunt. Just don't end up going out for pizza or something, thats a big ghetto no-no.

Thanks for the tips xomel. I may try that.

And I'll probably take her too a somewhat decent place. I mean nothing fancy cause it's just lunch, but I'm not gonna just take her to some fast food place. Pretty much every restaraunt around me is a chain so finding a good restaraunt won't be a problem.

wait are we talking the day of prom lunch? Or are we talking a week before lunch?

Prom day = suppost to be one of the best days of your life and you should try to uphold that by taking her someplace nice.

Week before prom = Doesn't matter, more importantly is her falling for you.

Yea it's week before prom. I wanna take her to lunch this Saturday, and the prom is the weekend after this one.


And yeah, I was just thinking something like Applebees of Chili's or something like that. Not a bad place, but not fancy.

yep perfect spot. Just pick a sorta casual place that you can wear jeans and stuff. No need for a fancy expensive stuff. Any of those chain type places are fine.

I personally would pickup the tab, just drop down your cc and pay for it. But thats just me.
