Stage dooring on a first date? — Page 2

Tacky. Don't do it.

Only if she asks to do it.

She may say yes to be polite, but she'll be thinking 'what a dork".

That's what I would do. But then, of course, I'm a bitch. :)


Honestly, it doesn't seem like a wise choice, unless the two of you are both passionate about the show and don't mind waiting around. I know that personally I wouldn't want my first date to be standing around waiting for an autograph or picture. (Of course, it depends. If the show had Raul Esparza in it, I'd probably be exhuberant and more than willing to go along).

I met my boyfriend while waiting for autographs.

Just sayin'.

Well, no. But my point(s) is(are), straight men do stagedoor and some people really do enjoy it. When I find a man that is as excited about getting Adam Pascal's autograph as I am, I know that's a man that I could spend the rest of my life with.

In fact, I don't think I could seriously be with someone who doesn't understand or enjoy stagedooring.

I don't mean that superficially, but seeing shows is a big part of my life and I usually stagedoor them. I would like to share my passion (theater, not stagedooring, but I usually don't do one without the other) with my significant other.

Stagedooring does not equal fawning. It depends on how he acts. Granted, I don't know the girl in question, but I would imagine that, while fawning over an actor and ignoring your date would be a turn-off, respectfully thanking the actor and discussing the show while you wait would show her that you are a thoughtful, gracious person who appreciates the work that other people put in for your enjoyment and want to let them know.

There is also lots of waiting time at stage doors, particularly shows with large casts. You could spend that time chatting and getting to know each other, potentially extending your date by half an hour or so. Plus, you will have shared a really cool, possibly once-in-a-lifetime experience on your first date. How many people can say that?

All that said, definitely bring it up casually and gauge her reaction before dragging her to the stage door after the show. I am just trying to point out that it's not as terrible an idea as everyone else seems to be saying.
