The Bulletproof First Date That Never Fails

Too many people either overcomplicate the first date or mess it up astronomically. And I get it. I was young and inexperienced once too. Hell. Even when I was a bit older I’d feel slight anxiety right as it was getting closer to the time of the date.

So over time, and through numerous first dates, I’ve developed a fool-proof system that would work every single time.

A bulletproof first date system that I’d apply to each girl I’d meet. And this first date would be the best bang for my buck timewise, moneywise, and compatibility-wise.

It would immediately remove whoever I wouldn’t want to see again (or sometimes wouldn’t want to see me - yes it happens). And in today’s blog, we’re going to cover exactly how to go from A-Z that even the most socially unaware person will have a vision for how these dates should go.

Quick note: This is my specific regimen. I have done this EXACT first date with several beautiful girls (specifically Russian/Ukranian NYC chicks) and they were always successful. What do I mean by successful?

Either sleeping with them on the first night.
Or them wanting to sleep with me on the first night but I bowed out for reasons of my own.
Or a successful relationship arose due to the proper emotions and feelings generated from these simple steps.

And yes. They were all good girls. The first date sleeping rule is for amateurs and virgins. If you're good, they'll almost always say yes on the first night.

And today. You will have the system to use at your disposal.

If certain things don’t apply for you, like you don’t have a car or you don’t drink or xyz, be a smart young man and think of a replacement that still keeps the main idea in place. Think why is he doing this? And what can I do replicate that purpose my own way? You will go far in life thinking like this instead of commenting angrily that you’re gay, retarded, or indisposed.

No one is forcing you to follow every step like an autist. This is just my exact description of how my bulletproof first date has usually panned out, with slight changes off the fly (as an operator will always have to be able to do).

Let’s dive in.


Step 1 - The First Meet

If she were close to me and driving distance, I’d pull up to her place and double park as she comes outside. Back then, I used to smoke cigarettes a lot more often than I do now. So what I would do is come outside and wait on the passenger side (or the side of her building door entrance) and smoke a “hand-rolled cigarette”. Yes hand-rolled specifically. I’ll explain later why.

I would then smoke the grit and wait for her to come out. When she did, I’d throw it out, stomp on it, put one hand very lightly on her waist, give her a kiss (or two) on her cheek(s), and open the door for her. Then I’d get in.

Immediately she’s thinking this is interesting.

“He doesn’t care that I may not like smokers?”
”He doesn’t care that he may reek of cigarette smoke?”
”But he seemed like a gentleman the way he waited outside for me, and even opened the door..”
”Interesting..”

Then just some very simple small talk. Get her talking far more than you. Unless she asks you good questions. Then you can take over. But do not be boring. No one really cares about your job. Unless you’re a CIA operative or an astronaut. Keep it light. Tell her she smells good or you like the smell of her perfume.

Keep.
It.

Step 2 - Bringing Her Along For The Ride

This is an important step and believe me when I tell you that when I ask my girls after we’ve slept together/few dates later what they think about this step, they all say it was weird and that I’m lucky they stayed and didn’t leave me.

But I just grin and tell them how lucky they are that they stuck it through.

Girls want to go on adventures. And it’s tough and also foolish to take a girl you don’t even know on a trek across the mountain just so you can “take her on an adventure” so what we do is we create little stops along the way.

The first thing I do is tell her I gotta pick up some wine.

So I drive to the liquor store, tell her to come with me (she may or may not like it, but if she says something, tell her you’d feel more comfortable for her if she was with you rather than left alone in a parked car), and walk inside.

This is your first “mini-adventure”.

Take a look at the bottles. Ask her what she likes to drink. Tease her if capable.

“You know now that you mention it, I knew you were a Tequila/Pinot/Vodka type of girl before I even met you.”

Then pick 2 bottles of wine. I’d settle for Pinot or Sauvignon Blanc.

I’d recommend testing out for yourself which ones you like. Josh wine is always clutch for a last minute grab. It’s simple but it gets the job done.

Once you get the bottles, get two plastic cups. Either from the liquor store or, if they don’t have it, go to a 99 cent store or deli really quickly to pick some up (another stop/part of the “adventure”).

For the guys who’ve never done this or haven’t even heard of this concept, you’ll think this is crazy and unnecessary. Maybe. But I told you this is the BULLETPROOF FIRST DATE THAT NEVER FAILS. They’re in place for very good reason. Try them or don’t. But those who do will be rewarded in the end. As per usual for following the Raw Manifesto.

Step 3 - The Tipsy Ride Along

This next step will get controversy, I know. Drinking and driving is bad. I agree. A ton of you can’t drive sober. But if you’re anything like your humble author, a skilled, multi-faceted individual you can do this with ease. Besides, I am not getting drunk off of two bottles of wine shared with a girl.

What you’re going to do here is drive around slowly. You open the wine bottle and have her pour into each cup. If she’s a submissive type of chick (which every time I have done this successfully she was), she won’t reject you. They may make a cute, sly comment like, “wow, drinking and driving on a first date. Not a very good impression.”

Don’t worry. You’ll fall in love with me before you know it.

The goal for this step is to get some drinks in. Preferably you find a secluded spot you can park at as the music you play quietly in the background fills in the occasional silences you may have.

And chat. Talk. Drink. Cheers.

After a few sips, you’ll notice you become warmer to each other. You’ll start smiling more, be more comfortable, and make more jokes.

Once this hits, it is a perfect time to take out your tobacco and papers and roll a cigarette.

Chances are she’s never seen a man roll his own. She will ask. She will be impressed. Or at the very least intrigued.

Crack a window, cheers her, and take a drag as you light it preferably with a nice zippo.

Bring up smoking. Ask her what she’s smoked before. What drugs. Whole point is to get to know her deeper and deeper without asking any boring questions like what she does for work or what color is her favorite.

Give her a drag. Bonus points if you’re smooth like me and can have her smoke it out of your hand. Sometimes when I do this, they’ll insist once or twice to take it themselves. You pull your hand away slightly, and motion it back to her from your own fingers.

If she takes it there, you’re practically golden my friend. And all you have to do is just not fuck it up.

Step 4 - Food

I usually do sushi. It’s easy. Simple. All girls love it. And if this is in your neighborhood, you can pick a spot you got locked down.

Now this is very important.

1 - Bring a bottle with you. Usually at this point, you will have demolished the first one but that’s why we buy two.

2 - Try to pick a booth that’s isolated from the crowd. Even better if you can get to as secluded and quiet of a restaurant as possible. Now if there are no booths, you can sit at a table but it’s very very important you sit beside her.

A lot of rookies who think they got game will say this is weird or they feel more romance looking across from each other. Morons. Zero game. Block them and ignore for life.

Side by side is ultimate alpha and you’ll see why soon.

Once you get seated, order what you need. Hide bottle under table and pour in cups (although if locked down you won’t have to be sus about it).

Here is where the magic happens.
