Name: Reynir Árnason
Date: Ieneuer 16
Format: Video

[ The video reveals a bright-eyed and grinning young man with curled sheep's horns who seems to be having trouble staying still. Probably from nerves, given the slightly strained, high laugh he opens with. ]

Uh, hey, everybody out there! Just a quick question. Let's say... hypothetically there's a guy I really really like, and I know he's never been on a date before. Has anybody got good suggestions for a first date? Or a second or third one? I - come from a tiny rural village where there was absolutely nothing to do, so, I'm kind of clueless on this one!

Thanks!

[ And then, after an enthusiastic if somewhat awkward wave, the video ends. ]

No one can recommend a date without knowing the person you are asking on a date.

The goal is to find a relaxing location for the both of you.

i guess that's a good point, everybody likes different things. but i was hoping there would be some general suggestions? i'm still getting the hang of the whole city thing.

relaxing? is that more important than exciting or novel or glamorous?

Ah - so you're trying to show off?
braidmage: (? AW GEEZE)

[personal profile] braidmage 2021-01-17 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
what?! no! it was a genuine question...

relaxing sounds good i just don't want it to be boring or disappointing for him. i want to make him feel special.

Why would it be boring or disappointing, though? Are you boring and disappointing?

[Oh look, it's shepherd-boy!]

there are some mirror-bound run eateries you could take him to. i believe that is something people do on dates.

[He's mostly popping in with the recommendation because a couple of them are owned by Mirrorbound he is close to. Two birds, one stone.]

[ Reynir is completely delighted to be a part of this win-win marketing scheme. ]

that's a really good idea! do you think it's better to go to a fancy one? or just pick the one with the food he'll like best? he likes sweets. A LOT.

go with the one he likes the best. you want him to have a good time

[And if it doesn't work out, you've wasted less money. Hector's just being practical here.]

Isn't it just doing an activity together that you both find enjoyable?
braidmage: (:( not depressed at all)

[personal profile] braidmage 2021-01-18 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)
but we already spend so much time together doing stuff we both like. how is he supposed to know it's a date if it's not... flashy? or special?

i guess this is the challenge that comes with wanting to go on a date with someone you're already really close friends with.

How are you not so sure those other times don't also count as dates?

Taking someone out for coffee always seems like a solid first date option. You really can't go wrong that way; not too many expectations, but still a nice outing.

that does sound really nice, actually. maybe starting with something small is a good idea, i don't want him to feel intimidated by the whole thing.

should i bring a gift, too? or is that too much? flowers is definitely too much, right...?

[personal profile] roombamastermind 2021-01-18 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
That does seem like a bit much. If you're still feeling all of this out, it's better to start small. You may come off as intimidating.

What's something you think the two of you would enjoy? You could start there!

Darling! That's so lovely!

I should warn you, though, some people may give teasing answers for questions posed on here.

[ Something Vex has definitely not done herself, nope, no siree. ]

A first date, well now. I find food tends to be a good way to someone's heart. Do you know any they like in particular?

Alternatively, find a nice place with a good reputation to treat them to in town. You can have a nice conversation together, get to know each other more, and if it doesn't quite work out as you'd hoped, you'll still get a good meal out of it by the end.
