Never Tell Your Date This

I would think if your bringing up hobbies of any kind on a date, your just not full of information on other things. Why even bring up stuff like guns, knives, coins, archery, etc. Those are hobbies and I'm sure any girl also has hobbies that may or may not bore you. If she started to tell you about her bracelet collection, what would you say? If she started to tell you about her doll collection, what would you say.
Unfortunately boys and girls are brought up differently and their hobbies too become either girlish or boyish. Would you sit her down and start explaining what you did to your car? Think most girls want to know about a timing chain in your car's engine?
Not only the above but why tell the world you may have excessive valuables laying around the house? You really don't know who she knows, what they do, if wanted by the police either. Learn that with any valuables, keep it to yourself.

It's probably a sure-fire way to remain "dateless".

That, and she could be crazy and steal all your coins.

If someone cares about you, they shouldn't mind what your hobbie(s) are.
(considering said hobby isn't criminal)
😀

Geez, you guys make it all sound like a trip to the dentist. Aside from the security issues it should be a fun discussion. If you know her age, tell her a fun fact about coins from that year. Or give her one from that year. Foreign coins are cheap and plentiful. Give her one that features something she likes - flowers or a cat. Maybe one that is from the land of her forefathers. And if you want to break the ice with a little foolish humor, try pointing out the menu specials with a 1943 wheatie, with the use of a magnet on the back side.
If you can't say something fun and interesting about your favorite hobby, maybe you're not fun and interesting.
I usually ask others about their hobbies and what they may collect. One girl told me she collected Barbie dolls. That relationship was never getting off the ground. Not because it was Barbies, but because she didn't know anything about them or care. She only cared about how many she had. And were I to give her another, she would just throw it in a box with the others, and then own 12. She didn't know when they were introduced, how many were made, what models were worth or how to tell condition. She collected dolls like a squirrel collects acorns. She might be a wonderful person, but I soon discovered we did not have much in common.
Knowledge is a tool. It's up to you how you use it.

Well, truth be told, if your coin collection is worth a LOT of money and has a lot of gold, it might not be a bad idea to mention or even show it on your first date

Really though, she shouldn't like you only because you have a lot of valuables. I think we all understand that....

carmykle- LUCKY!
