What is the point of a first date? You obviously both have an interest in each other extending beyond lust, for if it was sex and only sex that was desired, it would have been solved the first night and dates would not be necessary. But when a date is scheduled, there is normally more than just looks interesting both parties; there is a feeling of some sort of a connection. What you decide to do on your first date is crucial and can begin the tempo for where the relationship may eventually go.

Carbon Beach or Any Other For that Matter:

There is something magical about the beach, and those of us living within driving distance, let alone walking distance, should feel truly blessed. There is a feeling of being close to nature, and close to Heaven while sitting near water’s edge during a classic coastal sunset, and there is also something inherently sexy about the beach. But the sunset should come at the end of the date. We at headquarters have learned from Freddie that Carbon is a great place to take someone. Even though he used to use the beach before it was “Carbon Beach,” it is still a great choice. But whatever stretch of coast is near you can be perfect for a first date, as long as you do a little leg work.

Come Prepared:

First dates are a lot about first impressions, and you want your potential partner to feel you know what you’re doing and are in control. No matter if you’re a girl or guy, take the time to pack a small cooler with a few beers, a small split (half bottle) of Champagne, some fresh-cut (very important, as fruit looses its fresh color and essence after the first day) fruit, and a few bottles of water. Make sure to have some beach towels and a big blanket in the trunk in case a day affair turns into an evening sunset session.

Play up Nature:

As stated above, sandiness is next to Godliness and the beach is a very spiritual and sexy place. Make sure to spend some time in the water, and also make some comments on the beauty and nature around you. Don’t fake this: take a look around and really appreciate how lucky you are. Talking about the beauty in other things will bring to mind the concept of the beauty within her self, or even better, in you. Either way, you’re doing just fine. If you have the time, a sunset is truly special, and if played the right way, should almost certainly lead you to a nice kiss.

SEX It Up, For The Love of Christ:

Ok, so maybe that title is a little contradictory, but listen to what we say. The beach provides as many, if not more opportunities to be covertly, or overtly sexual than almost any other first date. Not only are you both practically naked, but there is plenty of chances for the ever important aspect of touch. When in the water and on the beach, get your hands on her: Whether its taking her hand in yours ducking under a wave, or rubbing some sunscreen on her back, there are many opportunities for develop the key aspect of physical contact. This is not about being creepy; this is about breaking down the uncomfortable contact wall that often accompanies the first date. Any good physical contact will leave him or her excited and wanting more.

In Conclusion:

Take your next first date to the beach, do a little work beforehand, play the angles described above, and you’ll be well on your way to the second of many more. And oh yes, almost forgot. Toast a Corona to Freddie!
