my whole thing is playing up your uniqueness of the situtation.
in a dating/plate spinning eveyrone has good cards and bad cards. the trick is to max the good cards and min the bad cards
in this case, bringing her home elimnates having to plan something.. you don't know enough about how she looks at you and you are shooting from the hip right now. get her alone, talk to her a bit and 2nd/3rd datres will be much easier to coorndate. is she a party girl? does she wanted to be treatedl ike alittle lady? is she just a booty call? you don't know
secondly, it subconciously lets her know you bring something different to the table than every toher guy hitting on her. tell her "hey i will come pick you up" pick iher up let her see you have a half ass decent car. let her see you have a house without 5 room mates in it or parents starring at you everywhere you go. cook something to show you can cook **** besides chicken nuggets. she'll llike this. like with my wife, when i first brought her around me i went out of my way to cook southern food beucse she's not even american lol i know she has never had **** like candid yams and sweet potato pie (At least good sweet potato pie lol) with (real) fried chicken with the burnt ass grease stains on the chicken and **** and red kool aid. to be a man i can throw down.. my signature dish is a creamy chicken afrleado that i put bacon and shrimp in as well.. i even make the sauce from scratch i don't use store bought ****... **** will bring you to your knees and i cook it when i know we have special company coming over.. but **** i'm sure guys have wined and idned her and tried to bring out the expensive Italian food before. not many guys can cook some real black eyed peas and hot water corn bread. not only did she love it (she loves SP pie now), it set me apart from everyone else.
part of the game is impression but the other part is making sure they see you as different.
