I commend the very well versed article explaining some of the important and general aspects os dating. I also think it is important to understand that everyone is a individual and will have different ideas about what a good date will be like, for example the assumption that women prefer to go out to the more bespoke alternative of staying in with a person you find interesting and mentally stimulating and just watching a movie or just talking is a bit of a undue generalization, yes maybe our society molds the public and also our individual perspectives towards that view, even to the point of people forcing themselves unnecessarily into uncomfortable situations but that does not necessarily have to be the case. Getting to the point, its much more useful I believe to get to a understanding about what each individuals values. I guess that is difficult before having the first date, and maybe I am being a idealist, but still the choice of where your date would like to go, might say a lot about the type of personality she has, and for a first date that might just prove to be gold.
