I firmly believe that table tennis is one of the most fun indoor games that man has invented. You get the drama and excitement of a full-scale tennis in the comfort of your home. Well, maybe not, but you get the idea. Besides, you do not have to put up with all the problems inherent in "real" tennis. Annoying ball fetchers, the rules on noise levels, advertisers french, and all the grunting never seem to be questions about the small courtyard.

Table tennis can be a great game for a day, but not the first. Ping-pong is generally not the best icebreaker. You do not always want to know how a coordinated is a person before you decide whether you want as a person. Also, nothing says "I really like and you want to know if we can be more friends" quite like a bullet in the eye with a little plastic ball. Trust me, it can happen to you too.

This May also be a bad idea if you are a very competitive person. Table tennis is like volleyball, it's not fun to play unless the person you play with at least as good as you are. Bowling has something for him. Your date may throw gutter ball after gutter ball, and it is cute. In ping-pong, but it's not so cute if you have to consider every three seconds to hunt a small ball that seems to enjoy you directly under the center of the table.

"Sorry, I'm sorry, I'm not very good at this" she says as she jumps the ball out of the window threshold of five feet to the left of the table. "Not very well, a drunk monkey could do better" you think you contort your back to positions that would have yoga instructors, shaking their booties, or what they wear. But being the gentleman that you are, whatever you say is "It's okay, it's fun."

Now that I think about it, it is a good way to play table tennis on a first date. You'll need at least two other couples to enjoy. To begin, you must define a paddle at each end of the table and a balloon on one side. Everyone was spreading so that all are regularly around the table.

The largest number of people involved the most fun is made by all to the detriment of some. Someone must be chosen to start and they simply need to serve the ball. Once the repair, the server put the racket on the table and moves quickly to his left after which the person holding the racket on the opposite side returns the ball, fixed the racket and moves quickly to his left as well. The process is repeated until someone scores.

The player on the losing end of the partition could miss the ball, he knocked too far (in the eye of someone, for example), not the racket in time, etc. When that person is marked on them must depart from the table and the ball marker is used to start the cycle again. It's like a mixture between the ring around the rosies and Dodge ball. The game continues until two poor are left to run frantically around the table trying to stay ahead of the other person and someone scores, or someone is so stunned they vomit or fall, both not on a first date.

When I think about it, the best strategy for the first date of May table tennis is to get your date on the game and then lose so you can enjoy a cool drink and laughter to everyone . Anyway, it just does not hit in the eyeball.
