Leave that to him.

In the early stages of courtship, a man should lead.

If you tell him what you would like to do on a first date, you take that leadership role from him.

This sets a stage where he doesn’t feel the need to put out too much effort to figure out what to do in terms of future activities with you.

By answering his question and making a suggestion on what you would like to do on a first date, he knows that he can always go back to that well.

This causes a lackadaisical climate to the courtship.

You are much better off when a man is decisive from the beginning.

He should know where he wants to take you on a first date without having to ask you.

The same applies for the next few dates after that.

This forces him to play the male role and take initiative.

If you were to answer by telling him what you would like to do on a first date, you have taken a degree of the burden of performance away from him.

Basically, you have made it easy.

This makes him think that he doesn’t have to be a leader as he courts you.

All he has to do is ask you about what you would like to do on a date and never have to worry about having the onus to come up with ideas.

At first, it sounds like a guy is being considerate when he asks you about what you would like to do on a first date, but you mustn’t fall into this trap.

It is actually a lazy tactic that some guys use in courtship, when they aren’t looking to be the aggressor.

In giving him an answer by telling him what you would like to do on a first date, you have set a tone that encourages him not to take this courtship too seriously.

He develops a lackadaisical mindset to how he goes about courting you.

By bailing him out in giving him an answer to what you would like to do on a first date, he isn’t all that motivated to come up with ideas for what to do on subsequent dates.

Without this burden of performance on a guy in the early stages of courtship, he won’t take the courtship process seriously.

It’s almost certain that he is going to ask you about what you would like to do in subsequent dates.

This takes the full responsibility of taking charge of the courtship process off of his shoulders.

Guys are the ones who traditionally pursue women.

This means they have a burden of performance.

Without this, they have less motivation to put in the work.

Next thing you know, you are the one who is asking him about his plans for the weekend and making suggestions on going out and doing an activity.

This is never beneficial in courtship.

The woman is suddenly the one who has taken the leadership role, which relieves the guy of the burden of performance.

You are going to get tired of this after a short while and will get turned off by him.

As a rule of thumb, in the early stages of courtship, leave the burden of performance on the guy by having him decide where to go on dates.

This naturally makes a man keep putting in the work to court a woman.
