Not a first date but a second date.
When I was dating I had a formula for a woman to meet me in my area. I walk over to the hot spot area and I could conveniently leave my car home so if things went well they would drive me to my spot (3 - 5 minutes) and let the magic happen.
I asked a girl on a second date. Not sure why. Just wanted to smash probably. I told her to meet me at a spot nearby and she whined twice about it being "too far" and all that.
whatever. She eventually complied.
Things went off the rails and we disagreed when she started talking about politics. Whining about Trump and stuff. I didn't necessarily disagree but it was basically when Trump was in or just got into office. Maybe late 2017 or mid 2018 before I met my girlfriend. I was sort of indifferent and I think I debated certain talking points just for the sake of sport which she didn't like
but I didn't care.
I just find it crass to bring up politics in the first few dates.
Wasn't the WORST date. Worst experiences I had were just women trying to run my pockets or just wasting my time to which I later ghosted. One woman had bad hygiene as in her coochie STANK
I told her lets go in the shower and I handed her a loofah (I didn't tell her she stank maybe I should have) and she just looked at it and shrugged.
Obviously didn't talk to her again and no I didn't smash.
Most of the time you can eliminate the chance of bad first dates if you screen women properly.
