no. she'll think you're weird\corny for even suggesting it.

or exciting, and not run-of-the-mill.

You would jump out of an airplane with a guy you just met?

nothing wrong with trying to be different, but to ask a woman to engage in such an extreme activity on the first date? it reeks of trying too hard to impress... 3rd date, after it's been established that they enjoy each other's company and a little trust has been established... maybe.

Yay or nay?

If she likes to do wild and crazy things and you know for a fact she isn't acrophobic, then go for it.

If you don't know much about her, then that is a huge risk to take.

She could...
1) Be surprised, jump, and like it. (very very rare <Although if your date is Mosh> )
2) Be surprised, jump, and fall to her death.
3) Be surprised, decide to do it, then on the plane decide not to, and hate herself and consequently you for not doing it.
4) Be surprised, but know she doesn't want to even try it, your plans are shot to s!@#, and you both have a miserable time.

******************

I suggest a wine bar, or coffee house with a live band (just look for something in your city), and a trip to the fine arts museum or a park before the wine bar or coffee house. If you are nervous/boring, do something more public with more active people around you (environment is key), something like a zoo or ice skating or amusement park.

5 reasons why this is good...
1) It gives her plenty of outs (with no strings attached), therefore she is comfortable and therefore she is more comfortable with you
2) The park/museum and a small coffee/wine bar with a band leaves a lot of room to talk and joke around, and it is intimate enough to just get to know each other (of course if you are totally boring or nervous, I suggest doing something more social with a large group of people <see above>).
3) This is much cheaper, and allows for interaction.
4) You can easily change plans last minute without going through a lot of trouble.
5) She will probably equally enjoy your company more than being strapped to another guy (skydiving instructor <who will probably be checking your date out anyways> ) while freefalling in the air. i.e. - It is definitely hard to get to know someone free falling in the air.

no, i wouldn't do that... i would be skeptical about doing that on a first date. It seems like you are trying too hard.

There are plenty of other cool/out of the ordinary things a couple could do on a first that that do not involve something so risky or expensive. hell, even go to an amusement park or something first.

Nah, you'll hardly know her. Just pick up another one.

[desteffy]

yeah, if you are a skydiving instructor or something...

 

[MaxDepth]

It will only lead to sex.

If you die you don't need money.

 

[theprodigalrebel]

well, if the blood vessels in her eyes burst from the pressure and she has blood-red eyes for the next day or two, she may not like that date very much. (i heard it happens even to the pros, at least according to 'Maximum Exposure')

i wouldn't have "just met" him, as in first time i laid eyes on him. i am sure we would've talked, and got to know each other first before going out on a first "official" date.

yes.

 

[JDrake]

Nay

I can see how the date is going to go.

Me: You going to jump?
Her: No.
Me: *tosses a six pack of budlight out and watches the pilot jump*

FIXED

Fixed again.

like they will say, "hello", go skydiving, and then say "goodbye"?

Now you can't possibly think I meant it that way.

If you're going to finish up by going to dinner, or going for a cup of coffee, or doing something else, why don't you do the something else first, and save skydiving for a later date? Like people have been saying, it's an expensive first date and the skydiving itself doesn't give you much of a chance to learn as much about a person.

I can't think of why it WOULD be a good first date.
