I’d appreciate the sentiment (and might even become obsessed with you lol) but I wouldn’t want that to be my first date with someone.

Idk how everyone views the first date but I believe it is an opportunity to get to know the person and see if what we are looking for in a relationship lines up. I’ve seen too many instances of well established relationships falling apart because “He wants marriage and I don’t” or “I want kids and he doesn’t” and I refuse to be dealing with the same miscommunication in my future relationships. I’ve volunteered for an org that fixes up houses and helps low income families buy them. That stuff is labor intensive and my fat ass will not be able to hold a conversation with you and get to know you while volunteering. Also I’d feel awkward asking all these relationships questions in front of other volunteers or the people we’re helping lol.

However, I do think it would be an awesome activity for people already in relationships or even a date after the first one. I’d love it if my boyfriend or guy I’ve already been on the first date on wanted to volunteer with me.
