    I'm planning on taking my crush/best friend out for dinner and possibly telling her how I feel. I'm thinking of something that's 'intimate' enough to talk about feelings and stuff, but that's not too date like so that it doesn't seem to weird a place to go with a friend in case I chicken out and don't end up telling them how I feel.

    Do you guys have any suggestions of types of places to go to, things to avoid, etc. I'm open to any and all advice

    (I love your username) I wouldn't take them out to any high end place just to account for the slight possibility of making a scene. Maybe you could have them over to make pizza or something, and since that takes a fair amount of time you could tell then then.

    (Haha thanks :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:) I mean I wasn't going to take them to a steak house or anything, but like for example a burger joint, a coffee shop and a diner all have very different vibes...I don't really know what's appropriate for the situation though. Making pizza is a pretty good idea but neither of us are out to our families so that's not an option :/

    You want somewhere that will be quiet enough for you two to have a conversation but not crowded so you don't have to worry about being overheard.

    A coffee shop is probably pretty casual and probably quieter than a burger joint.

    If they don't even know It's a date, don't do anything fancy. Just something casual where you can get your point across.

    I'm not trying to go for anything over the top, but we usually get fast food and hang out in food courts and malls. But it's too public to tell someone I like them. That's where my problem lies...what to do that's still normal and easy going but not food court level lameness?

    Hi jjprentiss:

    Depends where you are in Canada at this time of year (wink) but a picnic might be a good idea.

    Cheers. :slight_smile:
