Previously in How to date a Parisian girl, you learned how to spot one and catch her attention
Now its time to ask her out for your first date.
you managed to get her number, and if you are very good she will answer to your call.
Be prepared to leave a message on her phone cause she will always be busy (or pretend to be) and will not answer directly to you.
You on her voice mail : – Hmm Hello, well … i really appreciated our last conversation, yea, you remember me ..? the funny guy, with the glasses … hmm you know we spent our entire evening speaking about you wanting to became a famous actress, i was wondering if you would like to go out this week .. with me … like hmm … maybe a movie or something else… tell me if you are free.
Her text message answer after 3 stressful days of silence : – OK…
Don’t expect more than a “Ok” or a ” Why not” a Parisian girl will never say ” Im so glad you asked me out, i missed our great conversation” but anyway … Wow ! you got your first date !!
How to go ?
First of all getting a first date mean nothing, don’t imagine that she likes you or that she want to know you better, for a Parisian girl, going somewhere with a male after a phone call is not related to dating.
if she accepted it can be because :
- She had nothing to do
- She was bored
- She wanted to go there anyway so you can stay near her during it.
- She actually likes you ( it can happen )
Befor deciding where you take her out you have to know how you plan to go there.
Subway or Métro in Paris : what is more romantic for a first date than a travel in a huge dark tunnel scented by the smell of urine and vomit ?
Bike : Knowing the fact that you can die any minute on a bike in Paris, you have to be sure she is good at it, or your first date could be the last.
Taxi : Good idea, if your rich and you like racist jokes and the smell of old cigarette.
Car : No-one have a car in Paris, and if you have one you will not be able to park it … and it will piss her off.
Walking : One of the BIGEST mistake you can make is to propose her to walk !
Parisian girl don’t walk, it’s not in the culture, how can she walk with some 400 $ shoes anyway ?? Going to a point A to a point B in the center of Paris can be very easy cause its small, but even crossing a bridge is already too much.
How to know she start to hate you because you made her walk ?
after 1 min of walking : she will look worried and ask you ” where is the nearest Metro station ? can we go by bus maybe.”
after 5 min of walking : is it far ? my feet start to hurt because i just bought this new over-expensive shoes “
after 10 min of walking : She will start to really look pissed : ” My feet hurt so much and i am cold, you could told me that we had to walk soooo much !”
after 12 min of walking : She officially hates you and you lost all hopes to ever have sex with her or even see her again in this life.
How to travel then ?
The solution is a mix of all that : taking the subway for 10 min, walking for 1 min, Bus for 3 min, walking for 1 min.
Where to go ?
Choose wisely where you will take her, one mistake can make all go wrong.
movies :
YES : Any French movie about a 30 old man having trouble in his love life, fighting for his dream to be an artist and leave his boring job in his Father’s office, in fact any french movie will do the trick if the story speaks about 30 old single men and their love life problems. if you really want to be sure just check if Romain Duris is in the movie, if he is, then its a movie about him having love life troubles and you can invite her to see it with no fear.
NO : Every single other films : blockbusters, fantasy, science fiction, adventures, horror, action…. if she is reaaaaally open minded you can still try Tim Burton cause he put some nice fashion clothes in his movies…
Of course if Romain Duris is in any of this forbidden movies, then you can invite her.
Museum / Art exhibitions :
YES : Fashion related museums, fashion shows, fashion week, design, jewels, textile, photos ( only if related to fashion), sculpture ( only if related to fashion)
NO : Science, Natural history, space, medicine, robotic, dinosaurs, contemporary art if its not related to fashion.
Concert :
Ye s : Indie Electro trash punk is ok if no-one ever heard about the band you will hear.
Or Cute French Singer who sing about her love life turning 30 and being single.
No : Music you like … is she don’t like it then she don’t like you.
Dancing :
YES : Any dance that look old and boring, or that have a Latino smell, like samba, Tango, Salsa, capoeira, kick boxing … but you better be very good at it cause if you walk on her foot its dead …
NO : Having fun dancing.
Here are some suggestions for things you can’t and shouldn’t do with a Parisian girl :
- Make a picnic, eat outside, go for a walk, bike ride ( i will not sit on this dirty floor, believe me, and all this insects … ewwww)
- Have a blast at an amusement park ( seriously with all those noisy obese kids ?? )
- Go bowling ( yes sure i gona put this ugly red shoes … )
The day goes on and your stomach is empty, its time to ask her if she want to dinner with you.
if she says yes, then you have to read the next episode
Haha. I love that !
Good job !
I really enjoyed reading and I am looking forward to the episode 3 the first dinner, and hopefully and the second one
Well done Mathieu
