Fallen85 brought up a great concept in her response to my Do Tell on first dates last week: dating on the weekends versus dating during the week. Although these "rules" are not set in stone, it makes perfect sense that the weekends are typically reserved for meeting new people while the week nights are all for dating who you met over the weekend. Another unspoken rule is that you only accept a weekend night date if you really like someone. I tend to stick to these ideals, but what about you? Do you prefer to date on the weekends or the weekdays?

"...the weekends are typically reserved for meeting new people ...Another unspoken rule is that you only accept a weekend night date if you really like someone. "
But how do you know if you REALLY like someone if you're just meeting them? I'm so confused. Other than that, I'd rather have a date on a weekend because most people have school or work on weekdays.
1Makes perfect sense if you have a very active social life and don't want to waste those precious Friday and Saturday nights for just some guy.
Then again, in my situation, I'm too tired after work to go out frequently, plus my social life is moderate (I spend some weekend evenings home alone). In my case, I'd do a weekend date with any guy I'm interested in, just for the sake of going out and so I can spend my weekday evenings resting or working out.
2On the weekdays, everyone is busy at work or school... So it gives us more time to talk and easier to book reservations...
3Weekdays are perfect for first dates. Because of work the next day there is a built in excuse if things go sour and, if it's a good date, there's an easy ending so that you dont spend TOO much time with them. Also, it's quieter wherever you go so there's never a huge wait, the restaurants or pubs are quieter so you dont lose your voice trying to have a conversation and then if the date goes horribly wrong, you dont even up wasting your weekends when you could have been partying with your girls!
If you take a date on a weekend, make sure you plan something that will take up most of the night so that at 9pm you're not wandering around going "what do you wanna do?" and he goes "Lets go back to my place and rent a movie" which usually means "lets do it." Unless you're ready to spend ALOT of alone time with him, dont risk a weekend date!
4Weekdays definitely
5Weekends, but I work a M-F job so my weekends stay totally freed up for social activities. I keep the house up and etc on the weekday evenings since I'm gone 11 hours a day. I like to go to bed early on the weekdays too, so weekends are just fine with me for dates.
6I'm married, but when I did date I preferred to do it on weeknights. I like having the weekends to lounge around in my pajamas and not worry about anything.
7I love any and all time I get to spend with my boyfriend. It tends to get harder to hang out during the weekday if he's on project.
8I agree that the weekends are more open, but ultimately, whenever we both have time to hang out and savor each other's company. So I say any night!
