8 Types of Dates That Guys Do Hate

The type of date you go on only matters if you and the guy you’re with aren’t into the same things. This could manifest in the form of hobbies and interests, or a predisposition towards a certain type of energy on a date.

Rather than get into the details of what type of date guys want, the real score is on what they want out of a date. When a guy asks you out on a date, he either wants to start dating you or to sleep with you. There are no in-betweens – that’s what the friend zone is for.

So, it’s understandable that a guy would want to go on a date where you can talk and spend as much time together as possible. If they don’t like a certain type of date, they won’t be able to show you their best side due to their discomfort or boredom. They don’t really care what type of date you go on, but they do care if they can’t be on their game during the date.

# Speed dating

It’s not exactly a generic date with a significant other, but guys only participate because they’re looking for a girl to date. They don’t necessarily enjoy compressing their life into two minutes for the scrutiny of a complete stranger.

# Hiking

Yes, it’s fun, but most guys don’t see the point of turning a hiking excursion into a date, unless they’re already in a relationship. You can’t get to know someone better when you’re huffing and puffing all the way up a mountain.

# Art galleries

Unless they’re really into art, going to an art gallery is not considered a good date option. There’s so much pressure to enjoy the experience that you can’t really immerse yourself in the environment enough to understand and appreciate what you’re looking at.

# Operas
# Operas
Opera music is considered an acquired taste. The problem is, not many people are looking to acquire it. Unless your date is a fan of classical music, there’s not much you can do about his snores during the opening act.

# Ballet performances

The only saving grace of the ballet is its visual offerings. Again, the only guys who would be genuinely interested are already connoisseurs of ballet.

# Museums

They can be fun, but they’re not really conducive to a romantic day out. You can’t talk as much and hang out in the museum, anyway. Aside from that, the various tour groups seem to be designed to kill any romantic buzz you develop.

# Meeting friends or family

The meet and greet can scare some guys off because of the gravity of the situation. Even without the insistence of a commitment, meeting friends and family should not be considered as a date. It is what it is – your final assessment.

# Dance clubs

Dancing can distract you and your date from what’s really important. Apart from that, it could actually kill your guy’s chances if you don’t find his quirky dance moves endearing. And don’t forget the horny men who are waiting to swoop down on you.
