First date? Like you asked her out and she suggested to do Yoga? Not sure how to process that. Make sure you don't eat anything that makes you gassy before you go.
Yeah, definitely her suggestion. I told her I've never done it before but that I wasn't going to wuss out. But I'm afraid they'll be doing a bunch of bendy stuff that I'll look like a jackass trying to do.
Yeah, I'm an auto worker from Youngstown, Ohio now in LA drinking a kale smoothy and getting ready for my Yoga date with Tyra Banks' accountant... life happens in chapters.
First time I tried yoga I was surprised by how strenuous it *could* be, given the right amount of effort. Usually good classes will have variations that novices can enjoy alongside those more experienced. On a scale of 1/10, on 1st time difficulty, I'd say 2/3.
If it is a beginner class and the instructor is any good, you should be ok unless you have something actually wrong with your body. Just some stretching and balancing.
Oh, and a bit of advice, wear loose, comfortable clothing, but if you go shorts, I suggest boxer briefs of some type of compression short. Don't want the junk flying about with loose shorts. From one Dude to another.
This is clearly a test. One which will test your humility and willingness to please her. I don't mind such things, and even expect them, but on a first date? Screw that. On the second date, tell her you want help rebuilding an engine. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. If she squawks at that, dump her. She's probably too self centered/selfish and always wants things her way all the time.
She's more mechanically inclined than I am. I don't know if Yoga is an unusual date in LA. It's a different world here. It may just be part of the culture here... I dunno. Worst case scenario I get my first Yoga out of the way as I've heard it's a great place to meet chicks.
I've done hot yoga which i hated, but mainly because it was hot. The yoga itself is not so bad and I'd be inclined to do it more.
Don't try to be better than anyone else, just do what you feel comfortable doing. If she looks down on you because you lack flexibility then SHE is doing it wrong.
Yoga for a first date could either be great (it could be a great laugh) or it could be terrible (she might seriously expect you to keep doing this). Hard to say without context, but it's probably better to be optimistic about this. And yoga pants.
I once took a first date to a trials bike exhibition under a freeway overpass in a seedy part of town. We're married now.
I think you will get points for trying. I love yoga, it’s wonderfully fun if the teacher isn’t asking you to twist yourself into a pretzel. Just go an enjoy it, let her seeing you enjoy doing something new, and if you fall on your butt laugh it off and try again.
