Drinks and/or dinner squeezed in after work and with the pressure of the next days grinding repeat is not an optimal night for a date, whereas a date on a Friday night is more desired, it is the middle of the weekend, a Saturday night that is the best night for a date...it is the coveted evening, and the premium time...after all we only have 52 each year at most, to devote to dating.

To give up one of our two weekend slots says something about our intentions and the "hopes" we are be placing in the lady we asked out. Men either through instinct, instruction or experience know this, we reserve our weekends for our best friends (or a sporting event involving drinking) or those women with the most potential and/or possibilities. (Though according to a recent study and a link from Knobby, we actually just keep those times free for the hottest.)

We do this with the belief that women understand this rule as well, and that they too place more value in their weekends and thus in the dates they say "yes" too for such times.

Wombat said...: Yep, Saturday, then Friday, and I think the most under-rated night of the week is Sunday.

Sunday is an entire eco-system of its own, but worth exploring I reckon.; 08:33
meghansdiscontent said...: Most definitely Saturday. And a date that involves a sporting event is always welcome . . . umm . . well, at least with some women. :); 13:37
Indiana said...: Wombat: Sunday afternoon...3-4 starting, a nice bottle of vino and an early dinner...perfect...but still not as good as Saturday Night.

Brittany: Do you mean sporting or "sporting"? ~grin~; 18:27
Sipwine said...: I think this holds even more weight when you've "dated" a person for awhile.
Once you get to that "comfortable" stage, a Saturday date means so much more than when you are dressed to impress in the beginning.; 20:42
Miss Frou Frou said...: Both times I was doing the personals dating thing I didn't go out on first dates on either Friday or Saturday. Their date nights.. reserved for people you are actually dating.. not for meeting potential datees! I liked catching an early drink or even dinner on a Wednesday or Thursday night for first dates... no expectations of having to have a really late night.. but if you connected it was late enough in the week that it was ok to stay up a bit late. My girlfriends used to think I was mad for having this whirl of activity midweek and then quiet weekends... but in fact that is what my life is like normally... madly social during the week/ hermit of a weekend and it takes something special to drag me out of the house of a weekend!; 21:28
Adjil said...: I tend to get super-busy weekdays and prefer weekend dates. For me, Saturday/Sunday afternoons are great for first dates.; 01:27
Andrea Wh@tever said...: it has been a long while since i last went out on a date. a real hot date, that is. but if my memory serves me correctly, i love dates on friday nights. it gives me the whole weekend to lie-in if things work out right. *grins*; 05:12
Indiana said...: Sipping: I think its very important to keep dating the person you are seeing...I think many couples get "comfortable" and stop chasing each other.

Miss FF: Well I am yet to meet someone who does not date on Fri/Sat, I do know that I will only take a girl out on thonse nights if I like her, or have a good feeling about her before the date. (Though I have also be known to use Sat night for the odd blind date)

Adjil: Lunch, or brunch can't be underestimated as well, but they still do not carry the same weight as Fri/Sat night.

Andrea: Well unless I am dating someone the lay-in is not an option, so for me Friday just has the advantage of not having to end with the rush hom eot get some sleep before the grind starts...this has led to some 5hr hour first dates, a 7hr first date and a very memorable 9hr one.; 08:54
Titania said...: Are u trying to tell me something here? *wink*; 12:17
meghansdiscontent said...: Eh, po-TAY-to, po-Tah-to.
Whichever you prefer, dear Indy. :); 13:53
