Sparta Noble Donor Location: Las Vegas, Nevada Gender: Male \| \|	UE on a date? < on 8/11/2004 6:06 AM >

	All right, so I have this date with this girl within the next week, and one of the ideas I had planned was to show her an abandoned building or two. I've told her about urban exploring and she seems pretty interested in it. I'm just wondering what you guys think about this. Is it a good or bad idea? Or have you ever taken a person on a UE date? If so, how did it go?

Is it a good or bad idea?

I would NOT suggest that you come right out and be all, "hey, let's go to this abandoned building I like." Why? Because even if she's expressed interest in such things, it could come off as really creepy to try to get someone to go to an abandoned building when you're on a date with them. Obviously it's different if you've been dating for a while and you know/trust each other, but that doesn't sound like the case here. (Plus, if she likes you, when she was expressing interest in UE, she might have just been being nice and, in reality, have no interest in it at all. Who knows?)

So, I guess I wouldn't rule it out completely, but I'd suggest you play it cool and hold out UE a possibility, but definitely not make it the focus of the date. For example, if it comes up in conversation you two can idly talk about it for a while and then you can say, "you know, if you're really interested I know a building nearby, blah blah blah..." and then you can get a flashlight from the car, or whatever. But don't show up at her door with that being the only thing you've planned.

And no wearing camo!

	Sparta: My experiences with exploring dates have been mostly positive. They're both cheaper and more memorable than a trip to the movies or a restaurant. There is also the whole excitement/darkness element, about which I can't really say anything except that it can be really good. Ninj http://www.infiltration.org

	If somebody wanted to take me on a first date (hell, even the first couple of dates) into a dark, abandoned building, I would assume one of the following: - They're crazy and want to murder me. - Rape is in my future. - Molestation is in my future. - I might, just maybe, be getting kidnapped. In a world where this kind of shit happens everyday, I'd just be sure that the person I would bring trusts me completely and won't interpret it one of the above ways.

	While someone you don't nkow very well yet may get freaked out by a suggestion to visit an abandoned building, I think once you know someone it could be a great idea. I just think you should choose a building with some potentially romantic locations, like a rood with a nice view. Honestly when I got onto the roof of Spring Grove a couple weeks ago and saw Baltimore in the distance, the first thing that crossed my mind was what a great romantic spot that would be. You just have to climb through five stories of a creepy stone psychopathic building to get there... Buildings have two natural enemies- water, and bears.

	As several of you have pointed out, this may not be the best idea for a first date and/or a date with someone you're just getting to know. Nothing makes a first impression like dragging your lady into a possible crack den/homeless camp/C.H.U.D. nest/etc. However, if she has expressed SINCERE interest (not the usual "fake-interest-in-anything-he-says-because-I-think-he's cute-kind" that one may get on the first few dates) it might make an interesting impression. Take a picnic lunch and have a meal on the top of a building (i've enjoyed many gatherings with friends from abandoned roofs). However, you would do best to choose a location that you've done before, and that doesn't pose a security risk of any king. It'll be hard to get to second base sitting in the back of a squad car while they run your IDs (unless she's just that kind of girl). don't believe

Precisely why this should not be a good idea.

Unless, of course, that first date just happened to be with a fellow UE'er. Then, what the hell would be the big deal?

	First date? Exploring. Got engaged Exploring. Maybe we'll go for a nice normal wedding... I think we're an exception to the rule though. It could really go either way. Look at it this way though: if you go exploring on a first date and it works out well, you know you've found someone you have much in common with. If it doesn't work out, you've avoided wasting a lot of time and money on dates just to learn over a longer span of time that you don't have one basic (probably important) thing in common.

Alot of places make for a wonderful backdrop for a photoshoot. I can see where some people would think this to be a creepy thing to do on a date (maybe a little intense for a first date). I took my girlfriend to a beautiful building our first time out. I told her exactly what she would be getting into. It also helped that she knew of this place perviously and wanted to take some photos of her own.

here's a thought: Ask

explain to your date that this is what you do and that you would like to share the experience with them. Don't make it a one time deal either.

Thats the best idea I've heard you come up with Exkali... Go out with the ladies!

For the UE date thing, bad idea... I think that would piss a chick off. Take her out for diner instead..

	I once took a girl on a first date (we had exchanged several e-mails and such, but had never met) and I asked if she'd like to take a walk. So we went to a local arboretum and just started out across a field and towards the woods. I don't know at what point it hit me, but all of a sudden I thought, "oh my god, what a terrible situation I have just put her in. Here we are meeting for the first time, walking in a sparsely populated area toward an unpopulated area, with the sun setting and nobody else around. How does she know I don't have a knife/gun/whatever? How does she know whether my intentions are good or bad?" Now, it turned out fine because I am a fine upstanding young gentleman cough and I had no ill intentions -- I just thought a walk would be nice! But... you can totally see how someone would be creeped out by something like that, for the reasons that MisfitStyle cited. So I beg of you that you at least talk with her about it first (and I mean before the date, not on the way to the car, because she might say yes just because she doesn't want to be impolite). And if she agrees and has a great time and asks to go back -- you may have found a keeper! But you really, really ought to give her a heads-up first. Good luck! -- Mat "We shall not cease from exploration / And the end of all our exploring / Will be to arrive where we started / And know the place for the first time." - T.S.
