Every first date u use the same script? HAHA
Yes

It does work cos sometimes there will be awkward pauses of 1 to 2 minutes as
there may not be mutually interesting topics if the meetup is only after a few days of chatting

you have to be really good at digging up info oto connect the dots in order to build up the conversation

otherwise i will feel that the conversation will be somewhat shallow

like for example if you see the person holding a dog, then you can have a conversation about it but if there is no detail it will be quite hard at first then you will have to probe and probe and query further along the way which requires a technique but some ladies may not be comfortable with it

This is logically flawed or terminology is wrong. If it's hard to be frens with someone u like then it should be hard to like a friend. Maybe what u mean is hard to be friends with someone u are attracted to.
Yes your last sentence haha.

If u ask me.. spend one hour to meet the fellow f2f is more efficient than to spend one week to repeat the same things u had repeated to 50 other guys.

Notwithstanding any emotional investment and questioning by some random dude about why it took u so long to reply a message, was it because u were talking to 10 other dudes etc. Increased brain fatigue.
1 hour, mean only coffee kinda hangout. low commitment on both ends. but i feel to travel all the way out and back, dress up and all for a 1 hr coffee. May be it should be more formal event isnt it?

guys dont dress up. its literally low commitment.

Randomly watch singles inferno dating show and they are actively making themselves known/seen by the opposite sex, going to paradise with people they are curious about.

Last time, I always want to have longer get-to-know each other periods and goody feely before i meet up in person.

To prevent wasting time, do you chat up and build foundational friendship first or just meet in person and figure?
Without good feeling in chat, the first meet will be like a making friend session or first date?
No

It all depends on your personality.

I am those who cannot date friends as I value my friendships, so I wouldn't be looking to build any foundational friendship. Once the friendship line is established, I will always stay in that zone.

First date is always about getting to know each other to establish whether if a further relationship is likely, or not.
Moi opposite not fwen cannot promote

But then i bbfa

Maybe you could propose the meetup nearer to your place. Usually, guys will not mind as we will get a chance to walk you home if the date turns out well.

You can also use this as an opportunity to gauge how strong the other party's interest is, after the date.

I was younger so maybe didn't think so much. Just let the hormones lead me. Now old liao, doesn't seem to happen anymore. Could be cos she liked me so much that she was eager to seduce me?
Haha maybe. I never encountered before

True ah :s13:

Know people will automatically categorized into 2 groups, a) to be friends, b) to date.

Once fitted in category, A will never go into B, but B can go into A.

1 or 2 hours is up to u la..

I used to prefer fast game. Whether it is worthwhile to continue. Than to cut and paste messages and end up disappointed 1 week later.

I assumed u would have dressed up for work. Which means nothing extra on ur part.

The last part is an assumption la. There are guys who dress to impress. :o
