Why is it such a bad idea?
Personally, I like Ikea more, but walmart works.

Shopping is not exactly a Mennonite activity of choice beings that they typically reject modern commercialized society..
I can not speak for your region but here they do not have:
Electricity
Cars or any hydrocarbon powered vehicles
commercially produced clothing (all home made except for their Nikes)
and a number of other common conveniences that we are so used too..
Our Walmart even has a covered parking area for horse and buggy rigs along with hitching posts for the horses (their primary source of transportation)

That's amish bro. Mennonite's arent as strict. They have electric and use cars etc.
There are a couple different sects of Mennonites... the ones in this region are very "conservative" where some areas they are more into modern society... Google them up, Northern Indiana is quite the center for Amish/Mennonites that is why I was asking about his area..
The more "liberal" Mennonites here have a "community" van for going shopping... it is driven by a "non-Mennonite" volunteer..
That's how the Amish are in our area. The Mennonites aren't much different than what we would call normal.

I don't care what she is Wally world is not a great first date. Well unless your in WVA well then it is ok but your sister will probably give you a second date anyway.
Doesn't Ben live in WVA?
Yeah... We live in Waynesboro/Staunton area. There's nothing here as far as pool halls, gamerooms, etc. We do have an indoor mall...
As far as Walmart, I kinda figured it's a dumb idea. Didn't really consider it, but thought I'd run it by yall, cause, ya never know.
If you really want her to like you and woreship the ground you walk on, all you have to do is be an a$$hole to her. Whenever I tried being nice to a girl I liked, most of the time it didnt work. One time I was kinda seeing a girl but wanted to break it off so I started being a a$$ to her and she liked me more and more...
Ok, just relax and be yourself and have fun and you should do just fine.

Kewpie is gone, and thanks.Okay I am a little late here.. but....
#1 Concern about her driving to meet you..... that is our final defense in case something goes ugly... and plus one .. if she is mennonite, she probably still lives with the 'rents
#2 Flowers... yes... not roses.... daisies/ lillies are a good idea... at the restaurant and don't make a huge deal of the presentation. Just "Here I got these for you" Let her make the big deal (or not) about them.
#3 NO WALMART!!! Mall is a good idea or bowling or putt putt..... DOING something on a date really breaks the ice and gets rid of crazy awkward silences. Ending up with Ice cream or coffee is a good idea.
#4 Don't make the first date last too long... get her back to her car by 8:30 - 9:00. No marathon all nighters... unless.. well... you know..... but she is Mennonite.
#5 Relax, be yourself, don't go overboard to impress her.... we have excellent BS detectors tuned in on a first date.
I think that is about it.. good luck, have fun, and SMILE! (and if you go dancing... don't lift your arms above your head,,,,, it makes you look gay!)
BTW... you got rid of that Kewpie doll haircut right?
Yeah... She drives a Ford Taurus... It does have 140 horses though!
I'm close to WVA if that helps... It's only about an hour away...PM -->

I guess there is a split in that church.. Still trying to figure out if they are Amish Mennonites or Mennonite Amish..Yeah... She drives a Ford Taurus... It does have 140 horses though!Shoot, she even has a cellphone... Never thought I'd see the day I was text messaging a Mennonite woman.
so I guess you can have her drive?
