conflict concerning date ideas

[sommerswerd]

What does it mean when a girl is very demanding in terms of date ideas? For example, I would suggest an idea for an activity we can do on a date and she would say she hates doing said activity or that she finds it boring. She would agree to certain activities but not others. How should I respond to this?

It means she has opinions, likes and dislikes, preferences... why is this surprising?

How is she being demanding if there are certain things she doesn't want to do? Here's an idea... Figure out the things that age likes to do and plan a date around that. That will show that you take interest in the things she likes to do and also shows that you're willing to try something new as well.

So does she shoot down most everything you suggest without offering any alternatives that she would like? If that's the case I'd be pretty frustrated. I am seeing a fellow who does this - I suggest we go out to eat, he says sounds good, I suggest a place/style I'd like and then he shoots it down. So I suggest something else, he shoots that down. Rinse and repeat a few more times, and then he says "oh, I'm not picky, any where you like." At which point I want to throttle him because he's just rejected a bunch of places without offering an alternative. My interest is waning fast and I'm already avoiding inviting him out because I'm fed up with this exhausting routine.

I was gonna say. There's a difference between her simply asserting her interests and her treating you as a game show contestant trying to guess the right answer.
