0-5 was the chess, but she told her mother after the date that I would not be calling again. I committed several critical errors. When I called on Sunday, however, I surprised her and got a second date.
Do you mention chess on dates?

girls arent so different from guys...its not like you have to wonder which sort of false image of yourself you need to create. Attraction is often irrational and comes from nothing and if a girl thinks you are sexy enough they will probably consider everything you do to be sexy whatever it is. Just treat girls like you would treat yourself
It's also weird how you can be sexy to one woman in boxer shorts and a ragged t-shirt, and hundreds of other women out there in the world pay no attention to you with six-pack abs in an Armani suit.

Do any women tell a guy they play chess on a first date?
If he ask what are your hobbies: I usually answer movies, painting and chess ( in order of importance)
I always mention chess last but for some guys, they'd ask me about the chess first before asking about my other hobbies...
Sorry to say this but playing chess is not feminine... and sometimes being a girly girl who has a masculine trait is a turnoff... to some guys. So as a precaution, I don't really want to appear 'masculine' when I first meet a guy...
They didn't have chess back when I was dating.
I'm just enjoying reading all this 😂
I went to a private school for awhile, I had kids a from my grade and below asking me to play chess during lunch... I would use Scholar's mate, got em almost every time. When they figured that out, I would treat them like equals and play an all-out game (I'm better otb irl than online) They loved it. Suprisingly, I never got a girlfriend that way... So sad, lol
Honestly, girls don't care what your hobby is (unless its something creepy). Just be confident and don't be afraid to talk about yourself. Nobody will dump you because you play chess!
I'm really into taxidermy. Do you have any pets?

What if chess wasn't your hobby, but your occupation?
Just awesome stories out there. Love the one of Ziryab. :)

So you're saying you wouldn't say what your job was?
"So what do you do?"
"uh..."
So last weekend I was on a second date with a girl. Halfway into it she told me that she had googled me and found that I was a "chess champion" (I won some tournament a while back) and asked why I hadn't brought it up when she asked me my hobbies!
Lesson learned! I'm mentioning chess on future dates
Wow, I'm googling myself now so I can get prepared lol
lol. Also try to figure out beforehand if your date likes to play chess.

I would propose.
It would be a jackpot for me

No but I make lewd comments about chess involving bishops and diagonals and penetration and Queens and double sacrificial openings
On my first date with my wife, chess probably came up. The date was on Friday night and I played in a tournament that weekend. I called her between rounds four and five on Sunday.
It was the worst tournament of my life. I lost all five games. My wife always lets me play in that tournament every year, now, because she knows that she owes me for my 0-5 performance after our first date.
