The Third Date


Last but not least, we have the big third date. You can taste the tension in the air.

I will be honest with you, gentlemen. For as much hype as is attached to this date, it really is a no-brainer:

Take the woman out to a nice dinner.

Just to aid us in the process, let's make a list of places that are NOT considered to be fine dining:

--Dennys.
--Ihop.
--Village Inn.
--Anywhere that advertises "pie" as a highlight of the menu
--Burger joints in general
--Pizza parlors
--Your parent's house







The list goes on and on.

Now let's talk about the qualifications of a nice restaurant. Keep in mind, this can still be affordable if you do it right, it will just take a little preparedness (can I stress enough how important this is?!)

When looking for a quality restaurant, it is important to know that it does not have to have 5 stars to impress. Many 4 star restaurants provide excellent service and high quality food as well, and do it for a fraction of the price. Things to look for on your restaurant hunt are as follows:

A chef. A good restaurant has a real chef; not just some kid right out of culinary school following a corporate-cookbook.

A wine menu. A quality wine-menu is a good indicator of the quality of a restaurant. Just because it exists, however, does not mean you have to order from it.

A little style, a little class. Find a place that has personality, is in a quality building in a good area, and that has earned a good reputation both online and from people you trust. A little class goes a long way.

Follow those steps, and you will be golden.

And lets just be clear, gentlemen. When you take a woman out to a nice restaurant, you put on a tie. Or a a blazer. At a minimum, a shirt with a collar. Don't kill yourself over it, just look the part.

Treat her like a lady, and I promise you she'll love you for it.

Cheers.
