Personally, if I met a guy and we had to wait 3 weeks to go on a first date, I'd expect something a little bit nicer than a sports bar. Especially someone who is inside your social circle, I'd make it clear that you're looking for a date and not to hang out.
This is coming from someone who loves sports.
How about brunch… if you enjoy that you suggest continuing to watch the game (assuming it’s an afternoon game)
Thanks this a great idea.
Are you looking for a buddy or a date? If you want a hang out buddy, take your friends to the sports bar and don’t waste her time. A date is a date. 🙄

I’m one of the ladies, and I also love football. I would hands down prefer the sports bar idea, followed by the dinner idea, and the bowling idea is meh unless you both enjoy bowling. Good luck!
Yes 💯 also bowling (or activities in general)is nice but it’s doesn’t give you much time to talk

I quickly saw just the “or should I propose” part and thought, “hell yeah, just do it”, haha.
Given all the usual posts on fishbowl, I expected to see suggestions saying take her to your place to "watch netflix" 🤣
My husband invited me to watch a football game on our third date. He made an amazing grilled chicken salad, served me cold beer and we watched the game. We have been married 2 years, together 4. I like the earlier suggestion of take her out for brunch and then suggest to go watch a game.
Went to a bar for a drink. Ended up chatting for two hours. I didn’t have much patience for long first dates so always suggested a drink or a coffee date.
I’m a lady who loves football and love the idea of a low-pressure date at the bar, and if it goes well, migrate to dinner after!
As a female football fanatic, I think going to a bar to watch football is a great date AFTER you have been dating for a while. If it was my first date, I would prefer a dinner date, especially if I have to wait 2 weeks for said date. IMO, watching football seems too much in the friend zone instead of a date.
Yep, I agree with you. The first date is important. You should talk about yourselves first and be familiar with each other. Watching football should come after.
