A “Do Not Take Me There “First Date List is All Over the Internet

For the past couple of weeks, a list has been all over social media of places women do not want to go for a first date. The places ranged from surprising (the Cheesecake Factory) to understandable (your place). And everything in between (church). After reviewing the list, my thoughts are this — a lot of women will be home on Friday and Saturday nights. And the afternoons aren’t looking too good either.

Here’s the list causing so much controversy:

  1. Cheesecake Factory
  2. Applebee’s
  3. Chili’s
  4. Chipotle
  5. Olive Garden
  6. The Movies
  7. Your House
  8. Any Fast Food Chain
  9. Buffalo Wild Wings
  10. Wingstop
  11. Red Lobster
  12. A Buffet
  13. IHOP
  14. Denny’s
  15. The gym
  16. Church
  17. Starbucks
  18. Coffee dates
  19. Ice cream dates
  20. Family functions
  21. Movie night (Netflix, Hulu, and etc.)
  22. Somewhere that requires a long drive
  23. Bowling
  24. Nightclubs
  25. Hookah Bar
  26. A bar for just-drinks
