Go to his house for a first date you ask? Hell NO! None of my girl friends would fall for this. I don't care how great of a cook he is, how nice the house is, blah, blah, blah - don't do it. You're just asking for trouble.
Yes, dating has changed in the past twenty years, but you still have to be careful. You still want to be able to make a quick exit. I don't even like guys picking me up for the first date (I don't like for them to know where I live), I'll usually meet them. Then I can make a quick exit if he's an ***.
If he can't find a nice, quiet resturant for the first date, he has no chance with me. Now, that is just me. My girl friend, nikki, likes actvities, like a baseball game or other sporting event for the first date. But again, they'll decide on a place to meet.
Finally, you need to have a girlfriend who knows where you're going, what the guys name is and all the information you have on him, just in case you find yourself in a difficult situation. She should know the details of what you're doing and you should agree on a time she should call your cell to "check in" on you! I call it the "I gotta go" call. It gives you an out just in case you need one.
Be yourself, set your own rules and then trust your inner ear.
