Reply to comment by NOOBEv14 in What are some good bonding/active first dates in DC? by Sixed_Don

Bowling or pool. But i think pool leads to better conversations since youre not walking away from each other to bowl.

I tried bowling once, it didn't feel particularly good for a first date. I think any of that stuff where you take turns kind of sucks for a first/early date - interrupts conversation or you end up loudly talking from a distance.

Pool is great, it's chill enough to allow space for conversation, nobody cares enough about the outcome to get upset if they're losing, and you get to check out your date leaning across the table for those tough shots.

Maybe we’re chasing different women, but it’s not just about the nature of the activity, it’s also about whether the woman will actually enjoy it. In the case of both laser tag and pool, I have concerns. Plus Im not taking a first date to a random bar with a pool table.

What's the problem with pool? I've always enjoyed pool on a date.
