It's not just American culture. I'm South African, and everything you've written is equally applicable here.

Which is what I figured.

(Greetings from the U.S., by the way - I don't think I've seen you around before)

Ive only ever been to the opera once. That was with my brother lol.
Ive been to ballets, but with girlfriends and mum.
Ive taken a friends little girl to disney on ice. That was a fun date.
Ive been to concerts with my sister and dad and girlfriend at various times.

But a guy? I would be bowled over if a guy asked me to go with him to a show.

Hmm. Well, maybe its to do with what they call 'the chattering class' as part of a culture where you go on 'coffee dates'. So you can be seen out with a girl? I dont know.

Anyway. I like the suggestions of a walk.
Movies can be bit of a minefield but its fun to choose what to see and your dates reaction to it. Also popcorn is always good.

Lunch is good too, although, you need to be hungry for that.
Dinner would be a treat and something to get dressed up nice for.

The walk would be in a nice park where you can feed the ducks or maybe at the beach om a beautiful day. Nice in spring when the flowers are out. Or it could even be a bushwalk

Thereis oppurtunity for holding hands or other such displays of gallantry.

Thanks. I'm not the most active of posters as the time difference makes it a little difficult to get heavily involved, but I do drop in from time to time.

Gosh all this time after church and ive been having cups of tea and a scone afterward, i didnt realise I was dating!

Its called context. People can grab something to eat or a cup of coffee and that doesn't mean its a date.

I don't mean any offense by this Goodbook, but you should know that this forum is for people who are 18+ years of age only. If you are not 18 or older and you are posting here, it is a violation of the forum rules.

Miss spaulding you are not a guy so please dont post in this thread. I didnt really ask for your opinion or your thoughts on logic. Sorry. Start your own thread and cafe if you just wanna chat and socialize.
Actually, you asked for her opinion by starting a thread in a board where she's allowed to post. If you only want to see responses from men, start a group chat with them.

If I remember most dates ive been on are movies, or a walk. Or dinner. One time it was lunch.

Never breakfast.
Never coffee, or if it was i didnt realise it was meant to be a date.
What if he took you to Wicked Grounds? It's a coffee shop in San Francisco.

I've seen guys try...it was creepy.

Yeah if an adult went to a dance and they weren't chaperoning, that's grounds for arrest by most peoples standards. ಠ_ಠ
