    Your fave restaurant?

    How much budget do I need?
    How much are you willing to spend? How much can you afford?

    Thanks in advance.
    No worries.

    Where you want. Don't ever let her decide where she wants to go. This is a blind date and men are supposed to be in the driver's seat. She needs to feel excited since the only reason she agreed on a blind date is for the thrill of not knowing where things will lead.

    How much you can afford, this is not a proposal event. you dont need to go big...otherwise, she'll be expecting bigger on the next one.

    Dinner - fine dining. Magkano ba budget mo? 2k for both of you is decent enough. (500 peso meals these days hindi nya yan mauubos unless appetite niya is same with a guy's appetite)

    Before the dinner you can watch a stage play (sa greenbelt I may magagandang performances duon). Kahit dinner lang, marami na kayo mapapag-usapan about yourselves.

    What to do? Talk! Talk! The purpose of a date is to get to know each other. Find out her background, family, likes and dislikes. Same for the girl.

    Hay, sana di blind date - mahirap yang blind blind na yan hehe mas maganda kasi may idea ka about your date eh. Nevertheless - good luck!

    ^ Yung sukli kasi - pang gas or pang taxi (hatid pauwi).

    Tsaka pambayad sa tickets incase manunuod sila.

    Blind dates?

    base on experience... We girls wanted to feel excited...since "pakipot" ang girl, we wanted the guy to take charge on everything that day.. from where to eat, where to go to bringing the girl back home... whatever you do, please don't ask her "ok lang ba sa <name of resto> tayo?" Medyo kinda turn off yan... Have a few resto in mind... instead of asking her ok lang ba dito? Ask her what's her favorite food.. If seafood, then meron ka na puntahan, if steak then you know where to bring her..

    Most of my blind dates sila na bahala sa resto, movies...etc...

    My most memorable blind date is when my ex (set up lang ng friend ko) brought me to UP Diliman and we ate isaw isaw there... super favorite ko kasi isaw isaw... then we went strolling around Rockwell afterwards and had a nice coffee chat next to his school.... He talks about his funny experiences in law school and stuff.... He made me laugh and we talk for hours and hours hoping the time go still...

    Then I fall in love...



    hayz.... those days....

    Another important factor in choosing a restaurant is that the establishment should be GUIDE-DOG FRIENDLY.

    eiga sai..Japanese Film Fest sa Shangrila Mall ngayon, libre entrance, quality films pa. 2, 430 and 730 pm ang showtimes.

    then dinner sa mga resto dun malapit, not so mahal di din cheapipay, syempre shang yan. then maybe coffee or dessert after.

    relax, enjoy, have fun. don't expect too much. after all first date, and i assume wala kayo idea talaga sa isa't isa?

    isipin mo na lang, kung anuman mangyari you'll gain a friend after this date. wag yung love interest agad hanapin mo. mahirap umasa at mahulog ng pabagsak na walang sasalo.

    ito ang inherent na 'sakit' ng blind dates..

    na re-focus ang attention natin sa venue, kind of food, minsan attire.. kaysa taong kikilalanin natin.

    budget.. kung anong available na budget meron ka at present.

    high end restos? hhmm.. siguro huwag muna. mid range kung maaari. kakuriputan ito? hindi naman.. kung expensive restos ka lagi pupunta tuwing blind date.. blind dates na walang kasiguruhan, eh parang ang gastos naman. unless money isnt a problem.

    if in the end, kung naging kayo man.. at least, may thrill pa. hindi naman aalis/tatakbo ang high end restos na yan.. padagdag pa kamo. kahit sa mga hotels pa lang, magsawa kayo kadi-dinner doon pag kayo na. kasiguristahan? hindi naman.. after all yun tao dito ang 'under examination' hindi yung venue or restos. lets not forget that.

    nag parang software itong blind date ah.. dami nang 'upgrades' at 'add-ons'.. i dunno.. things change. siguro ang blind date na suppose to be pagpapakilala eh naging pagpapasikat na. ha ha ha..

    gumastos ka sa date.. proportional lang sa kung ano afford mo.

    for me... blind dates should be KKB on certain situations... times are changing... pera pinagpapaguran na talaga...

    1,000 pesos is usually worth at least 10-30 hours of work for most people. that can buy someone a good pair of jeans... a soso mp3 player... a 4Gb mini disk.

    perhaps... corny rin kung uuwi si girl na hindi nalilibre... hehehe... so free coffee will do!

    For a blind date? hmmm let's see now. Try going to serendra. Have a quick drink at XOCOLAT. Unfortunately for most women its a little heavy so you don't have to treat dinner anymore hehehe. bring 600 tops unless you order like hell.

    Greenbelt is nice too. Go to Ebun area (or Fusion). It's not bad. Then proceed to Breton's. Better value than starbucks. I would recommend KOPI ROTI but the friggin place is hot. #$@#$. They should have considered a bigger aircon zone for customers. Bring 700. If it were me I can wing 500 from those areas. hehehe

    Free coffee will do! Gourmet coffee!! at mahabang kwentuhan..

    Please don't bring your date to a movie or a concert or to a noisy place. INTERACTION IS VERY IMPORTANT. How can you check each other's rapport if you are silently watching something, then time is up. The first few dates are more crucial in developing mental connection and comparing notes on your similarities and differences and the possibility of longterm relationship. Movies are for later stage. Lavish dinners and gifts are also for later stage na. Emotional connection is much easier to develop than mental connection. So don't rush the emotional aspect. It's very easy to fall in love, it's even easier to fall in lust..

    Things to do?
    depende sa ka-date mo, you can try to do arcade gaming, bowling, etc...try to feel relaxed with each other's presence first

    Where to go?
    malls then dinner

    How much budget do I need?
    magpakatotoo ka lang, kung magkano yung extra money mo just stick to it, never overspend!

    my BF did this trick on me 6 years ago! haha

    Don't try too hard.

    Don't bring her to a place too fancy. Don't overspend.

    If your date doesn't doesn't like you, steady lang.
