It's All About Timing

When you are asking someone out on that first date, we suggest asking him/her out on a weekday.  Busy people tend to fill up their weekends up well in advance.  You want to create the opportunity to build on the energy you felt when you had your first conversation with their new person.  You don't want to end up scheduling a date two or three weeks out just because weekends are busy for people.  Also, it really helps to take away pressure and to allow everyone to be more relaxed when you know that you'll be with the person for a shorter period of time.  It can build intrigue too.  You get to know a little bit about them, leaving you both wanting to find out more.  You can have a couple of great week day dates and then have a longer weekend date as things start to go well.
