Dear men,
If you ask a woman out, make some effort to come up with a PLAN. Do not put the onus on Her.
Minus one thousand points if I ask where we’re meeting/ what we’re doing and the man says “up to you,” almost with a shrug. Especially not at the last minute. At least have a suggestion or idea. How hard is that?
My Female Persuasion 
Amen! If he asks you out, he should make the plans.

Yes! So simple, right?

Yes! Ok so “It’s up to you.” can be nice to hear on occasion, if you have been with someone for a while. But on a first date after he asks you out? No way. It’s just lazy.

This ones a bit tough tho. Specially if you organize something kind of ahead of schedule and you aren’t sure if she likes it. I usually ask a girl what she likes and figure something from there.
Best date I’ve come up with was dinner on a river cruise. Paid the boat man to kick everyone else off. Sadly, she was not happy, she said if she knew, she wouldn’t have worn heels!

I could see how she would feel that way if she was uncomfortable, but if you were the only ones on the boat, she could’ve taken her shoes off! Sounds like a nice date. I say it’s fine to keep it simple early on, and in New York City, it shouldn’t be that hard to find a cool spot. Making that effort and taking the lead goes a long way (for most mature women I would say).

When men don’t plan effectively for a romantic/fun date it usually means they aren’t really into the woman.

And some are really clueless and/or lazy. Good tip, thanks.

That is my pet peeve…especially being a single mother. I have to make very decision that comes my way all the time. Its always a plus when a man can come thru with a plan

Amen to that. Yes, if only they knew!

I agree. I think that men get so worked up about getting denied, that they never actually are prepared if the woman says yes. Have a plan, go someplace that you find interesting, and if she finds it interesting as well, then you’re off to a good start. 🙂

Woman don’t seem to fall on this sword. The times that I’ve been asked out, the night was planned. I was along for the ride. I loved it. New things, new perspective. I think that men need to be as self assured that their interests will appeal to the women that they’re interested in.

very true. and a man with interests/ passions/ ideas is attractive anyway. learning new things and gaining fresh perspective is part of the fun.
