Do girls like to just drive around when we agree to hangout?

[coolerdude56]

I'm about to ask this girl in my class if she wants to hangout. I live in a really small town with not too much to do so i'm wondering if just driving around in my car and talking is a good idea, maybe stopping to eat something..?

[Kwothe28]

No, its much better to do some activity. For example dinner or just coffee at some diner. You can pick her up and get her home with car. However just hanging out in a car isnt really an activity and might turn her off. Plus she might think you only want one thing. 

Also, if you have a car and there is nothing to do in your town, you can maybe drive to some close town where there is something more fun.

First, can I ask how old you are?

Go straight to getting a bite to eat. Driving around isn't a good idea. Have a destination.

Or to a park during the day that has well marked hiking trails then after hiking stop for a beverage/snack. Also treat her as an individual.  Some individuals like to drive around some don't.  Nothing to do with "girls" and if this is just a hangout a hike would be perfect IMO.

I agree with Batya.  If it would be with somebody I am interested in getting to know, driving around is fine.  Except with the cost of gasoline these days!!  So the hike would be fantastic, as well as getting a bite to eat.  It is a good activity to get to know one another.   FWIW, I grew up in a small town, and there was a ferry that crossed the river.  That was a great dating "scene"!

I grew up in a major city where one of the regular ferries was either free or a quarter so it was a destination for sure including on one of my high school prom nights!  Great idea.

Alright thanks for the help!

I used to do this, and still do with my husband. It's not that bad of an idea. Having a destination is ok to start off the hangout, but later driving around is fine if she's down for it. Gives you a chance to talk and still have something to observe/look at. 

Going for a drive is kinda a vintage pastime.

My hubs and I love driving around...even as teenagers.  But it helps to go to a cool looking neighborhood.  Or past a creepy place like all the Halloween Decorated houses or cool looking houses.  But make sure you discuss exploring first...don't make it the first date.  First date should be a bite to eat, and, or doing an activity.

Driving around is boring.  Take out meal,  sitting and chatting at a park,  walk or something like that would be enjoyable.  Sitting in a car and talking is dull.  ☹️

Me too. It was fun when I was in my teens, and I still think it's fun now. Sometimes it's the best kind of date.

It's not a terrible idea, OP, but I personally wouldn't bother wasting the gas or air quality. Too many cars on the road as it is! 

Choose a destination as some suggested above - go for a walk, hang out in a park, grab an ice cream. Get to know her a bit more this way.
