Guys Picking Up Girls They Go On Date With

[Anastasia13]

You live on one place of a freeway. He meets at another place on the freeway. You are meeting somewhere more in between. Do you always drive yourself? If he offers to pick you up or asks if you would like him to? In general, how much do guys pick up women when they are going on a date?

Back in the day when I dated, I used to pick up the girl up at her house.

I think it depends on the couple and the circumstances. There is no hard and fast rule.

For example, I used to date a guy who lived near the Lincoln Park Zoo, where I volunteered. Many times I just went over to his house after my volunteer stint, and we'd find someplace to go to dinner nearby. Other times, he picked me up at my house, because I lived near where he worked.

One situation in which the woman may definitely want to drive herself--meet the guy at the restaurant, etc. If you have been set up on a blind date, for example, and you don't know the guy well (or at all), the woman may feel most comfortable meeting the guy at a neutral, public place until she gets to know him better.

Whatever works.If a guy asks a woman out, it's nice for him to offer to pick up the woman, but based on circumstances, it may be more comfortable/convenient to handle it differently.

It just depends. Considering my dating history (3 dates, 3 different guys), It has been varied. One I met up with after I got off work. One picked me up. I don't know what to say about the other because he came over and then we walked because it was so pretty outside.

If the two points are equidistant from the center of town they will both arrive at 9:22 P.M.

Otherwise, they will arrive 5 minutes apart.

I picked them all up. It was hard for them to drive in the kitchen.

It all depends. When he still lived with his parents, my boyfriend lived really close to everything we went to. For him to pick me up would have him driving over 1/2 hour, and he hates driving. I, however, LOVE driving, so I would go to his house and he would drive from there. Now he lives in another city by himself and I still live with my parents, so I go to his house. If he were to pick me up to go there, he would be driving 1 1/2 hours to and from, and then again to bring me home. That's just what works for us.

My brother, on the other hand, insists on driving when he goes on dates. He never dated before he got his license for that reason. Now that he's at school, he was very hesitant to ask this girl out that he's really liked for a long time because he doesn't have a car there, but she does, so she would be doing the driving.

I am just a caveman, but back when the trees were saplings we picked up the ladies, held open the doors for them and pulled out their chairs and of course paid for everything, but the ladies seemed to consider themselves worth the attention, and it seemed that their ideas of self worth transferred to me. I guess I would be out of place in these days of making everything so easy, or should I say available.

WE CAN DO IT OURSELVES, ED. WE ARE STRONG WOMEN WE DON'T NEED MEN TO OPEN DOORS. IN FACT, WE ARE BETTER THAN MEN. I HATE MEN.

I believe it has to do with the idea that women belong in the kitchen.
