I would normally agree with Don about the picnic date being too much pressure for a first date, but given Covid, it's probably the safest setting for a date right now.
As for the "text me to let me know when you get home" stuff - it IS chivalrous if it's an evening date, especially if alcohol was involved. The truth is, it's a dangerous world out there for women. On the other hand, the feminist in me kinda wants to shout "How do you think I get home all the OTHER nights?" lol. No, really, guys, it's a thoughtful touch even if it's at night, a bit unnecessary like opening a door or pulling out a chair, but generally appreciated and taken as a sign of good manners.
Hi kml, yeah, covid dates are tricky. And planning around my kiddo too. We live in a touristy place, not even sure what's open activity wise, but like most that live here, you want to get away from everyone. It is a dangerous world out there. I'm bringing a whistle with me, doubt I'll need it, but I'll have one. Not even sure where we're going, but I did ask that it's a place with a restroom..lol... Daylight meetings (we both don't like driving at night; bad vision) and no alcohol.
Manners are huge for me. I'll be watching for sure.
