Paintball

[just_call_me_guy]

Well, long story short there's a girl in one of my classess. I plan on asking her out on a date. However, me and my friends are going paintballing, and I this is probably a good a time as any to ask her to go somewhere. I figure it's a bit easier to do have fun in a group situation. She won't be the only girl there, there will be another one. So , I'd like your opinions on this, is this a good or bad thing? All that jazz.

Thanks.

Hmm, paintball? It doesn't really appeal to me, I dunno about other girls. You can ask her if she'd like to go but don't be too surprised if she doesn't want to go to that particular activity. A group outing is a good idea though. Anyway, go ahead and ask her, maybe she's up for it. If she says no, don't be too put off; ask again, at least once more, if you think of something else to do.

Problem with paintball is that you don't get to chat much, it's easy to lose friends when playing (unless you pay close attention to the shoes they're wearing. That's what i've found from playing anyway.
Though you can chat pre and post game i guess!

I think paintball's perfect. If he's standing next to her, and he sees someone about to try to take her out, he can scream "DUCK" and tackle her. :devil:

I can see it now:

"LOLOLOL I LIKE U"

*shots to the groin*

Might not be the best idea, but I donno, she might be into the idea, but from experience, none of the girls I know would really be into it.

Although paintball can be lots of fun I would not ask a girl out on a date to go paintballing. Especially not the first date. Firgure something else out for the first date. Females don't really like to get hurt so the whole welts thing doesn't really work for them. Maybe down the road but not for a first date.

Haha I was thinking the same thing.

Paintball isn't a surefire great 1st date, though. Especially if you want to get in some romance. I've never played before, but from what I have heard it can get kinda painful. So if she's grumpy afterwards maybe you can give her a massage? Lol I dunno. Depends if she's a tough girl or not.

Not a good idea.

i think it's a great idea too!
i mean - i'd like to go! and, it's all the action where you an get physically close to her - of course NOT in an inappropriate way - like what Anthropolemic says =)
hmm, it might not really be 'a date' but it sure can get the ice-breaking and you can get things a rolling! ::wink::

another vote for not a good idea.
unless she's that type of girl.

for first date, just settle for something simple... really.

That certainly is a strange definition of a "date." Sounds more like a group activity.

If you want an actual date, it'd be better to choose an environment that's more one-on-one.

i wouldn't take plus she might hook up with some other guy and you miss out, ask her to a coffee shop, why because its a casual setting u can have a light meal. so you don't look like an idiot eating food. And it leaves the possibility of further dates open. on top of this if it doesn't work out you can leave easliy.

[just_call_me_guy]

After some thought, I decided not to take her. I think I'll just head to one of the local attractions. The way I figure it, if she gets hurt too much, she might end up hating me in the end.

Females don't really like to get hurt

Bit sexist don't you think. No one LIKES getting hurt regardless of sex, but that doesnt mean that 'females' are too soft to go paintballing.

I went paintbaliing last year with a bunch of bloke mates (me being female) and had a wicked time.

Sure it stings a little, and the bruising is really cool colours, but i didn't not go because i'm a woman.

That never came into it. I went because it was a laugh, and i KNEW that if it hurt too much then my 'boys' would protect me...

Another thing, how many guys do you think could go through childbrith? U guys are dieing of 'man flu' when you have a little cold... Lets face it, women rule, we are harder then most blokes, have a higher pain threshold but occasionaly we like to be 'protected. by our men..
