Alright so I met this lady on hinge.

I am planning to meet her for a 2nd date this week, and go for a walk and take her on tour around London.

During the meet, I plan to slide in talking about watching a Chelsea game in the crib together!

We got similarities in that we both love club and national football. Shes a Chelsea fan and I am also a Chelsea fan.
We also support Nigeria in the nationals seeing as she is Nigerian and I am also of Nigerian Heritage (Born in London).

Only problem is she doesn't like the England national team and actively supports anyone against them but I am letting it slide since she supports the other 2 teams😂

In the crib?! Do real people speak like this?

If both of you like football then watching a match at home together would be an ok date. Hopefully you will consider providing some sort of meal as well.

@IncognitoUsername as a Londoner, I know, shouldn't be using American slangs, unfortunately too much of watching tv/entertaiment can influence the mind😂

Not at home for safety reasons/ she might just think you want sex. Can’t you watch in a bar somewhere??

Interested in this thread?

She'll probably be thinking that you were expecting / hoping for sex if you watch it at your place rather than in a bar / pub.

If you invite her over you do need to provide food and drinks.

It's fine to suggest watching it in a pub (and possibly have a meal there too).

It's not fine to suggest watching it in yours or hers home. That's crossing boundaries this early on.

Depends what your boundaries are? I don't think a 3/4th date in someone's house is particularly unusual

HappyDam0904 · 28/02/2024 12:20

@Comedycook That's the thing. I don't want her to have the feeling it would be just for a hookup.

The thing is watching a game together at home is a nice date from home.

Dates from home is common but definitely shouldn't be done at least past the 2nd date

I would ask her if she'd like to watch the football game together? And if she says yes, then ask where she thinks the best place to watch it would be?

Leave it open to her to set the expectations for whether you do it at home or out somewhere. Me personally, if I didn't already know someone, I wouldn't want to go to their home or invite them to mine on a 3rd or 4th date. But I would be happy to enjoy a mutual interest out in a public space, so would suggest a pub or somewhere else we could go.

Suggest the walk and then watching the game. Give her the option of watching it in a pub or at yours and respect her boundaries. I would be happy doing that, but others wouldn't.
