Women: What do you expect in a first date (online)

As far as online dating goes, women could you please define what you mean by a date?

I do not go on “dates” with people I do not know. I hang out with people I do not know in order to get to know them better, then will date them. I feel first encounters should be very casual. Why invest time in someone who is not worth it?

Now women, what do you expect from a man in online dating. Do you expect to be asked on a real date from someone you do not know, or a more casual encounter (I.E. lunch, smoke together, meet at bar, etc.).

My first messages invite the person to chill (I.E. You seem like a cool chick, we should chill, get to know each other). I really don’t like sending random emails back and forth about intrests and stuff or just general talk. I feel that is better handled (and to be saved) for in person meeting (lunch, smoke, bar), where if we do hit it off, we will then go on a “real” date.

Women, do I have the concept correct lol?
