#1Stage dooring on a first date?
Posted: 3/10/08 at 11:40amMe and this girl are really crazy about theater so i'm thinking about takin her to the touring version of spelling bee, but also if i really like the performance I can't go without stagedooring, so I'm wondering if its tacky to go stage dooring on a first date and what u're experiences were

Posted: 3/10/08 at 11:43amI'd stay away from the stage door on the first date--if you want pics or autgraphs, just go after a different perofrmance--nobody will be the wiser. Unless it's a one-nighter. Unless SHE brings it up--then you can do it.

You "can't go without stagedooring?" Sure, it's a fun experience but if you have to do it, you might have a different problem.
Don't stage door on the first date.

It says "I like you, but waiting for an autograph is more important than spending quality time with you".
Tacky. Don't do it.

Posted: 3/10/08 at 12:06pmNothing says "I really like you" like making her stand outside a stage door for 40 minutes and wait while you get autographs. NO WAY.

I agree with most of the posters. I am an avid theater goer, but do not do stagedoor. It's not for me. (and I would NOT enjoy it on a date by ANY stretch of the imagination. I'd want my date paying attention to me.)
Nothing wrong with asking her, but I wouldn't say that YOU want to, just ask her what she thinks of SDing in general. If she's excited about it, ask if she'd like to, if she's indifferent or negative don't go any further.
#16re: Stage dooring on a first date?
Posted: 3/10/08 at 12:54pmNot that there is a 0% chance she wouldn't like it, but it's just not something you do on a first date. Unless like others have mentioned, she brings it up without being provoked. And I am sure you'll be okay without stagedooring one time.

You're not REALLY meeting them, you're congratulating them on a (hopefully) job well done, unless you're going to have dinner and drinks with them afterward, which would somewhat defeat the purpose of the date.

I'm the kind of girl who waits till the third date....
no stagedooring on the first date, or else I just feel like I'm giving it all away.

Is this something you normally do? If so, do it! That way, you are being yourself.
Isn't honesty the key to any relationship..especially at the beginning?

Posted: 3/10/08 at 3:45pm
No, no, and no.
(Unless -- as said before -- it comes up in conversation that you BOTH want to do it.)
PS- I'm ashamed to say that I thought EXACTLY the same thing as Rathnait.

Jon nailed my reasoning exactly.
Too bad it's no longer a time when we could just go and pick 'em up.
