Best first date places

Sunburst · Nov 17, 2007

What are your favorites for a first date with someone (not a group) someone you know well though.

Trashionista · Nov 17, 2007

A creperie.
Or a dessert house/coffee house.
Jazz club.

I think first dates can be kind of awkward if its the whole 3-course dinner, movie thing and its dragged out and halfway through you realize there isn't much chemistry. Personally, I like to keep it as short & sweet as possible.

I've only been with one person, but one thing I want to do is take her up on a nice evening flight to watch the sunset from 7,000 feet would be nice. Then land and go to dinner and a movie.

Hmmmm, bowling, a semi-casual restaurant like T.G.I.Fridays, coffee shop.

I like going to sports world and playing some putt-putt or banging around on the go-carts. It's a lot of fun but still leaves time for conversation and interaction, unlike movies. Very casual too, a no-pressure type situation.

For a first date, you want to have some fun as well as time with each other. Mini golf or bowling are both very fun and allow you to interact with each other. From what I've seen with some of my friends, try to stay away from movies for first dates.

i agree with the coffee house...if things dont go well, then you can cut it short after that one cup...if things go well. then cofee joints usually stay open pretty late so you have a comfy place to sit and chat all night =] good luck!

Restaurant

well I'm a romantic, so I'd probably buy flowers, wine and dine her with my own cooking, and take her out to a place very special to me. We'd dance under the stars in the moonlight and eventually we'd fall asleep in the back of my pickup truck holding hands and looking up at the beautiful heavens above. I'm not really the type of guy that "dates" though. If I was just starting to get to know a girl, I certainly wouldn't do anything this extravagent.

-indoor rock climbing, casual and fun
-playing pool, a few drinks helps loosen the tension

LaserQuest... but that's either a really good idea for a first date place, or else a really bad one, depending on who you date.

I highly suggest for the first couple of dates to do something fun. I am going on a first date with a guy I know from church (met in August, been chatting a little since then, and then a lot more in the past few weeks at social gatherings) and we are going to an Ethiopean restaurant in downtown DC. I've been there before, he's been there before, but it'll be fun because you eat Ethiopean food with your hands (and this special crepe-like bread as a utensil, but that's it). I've been rock-climbing and cycling on early dates as well, and it's a lot more fun than the usual "dinner" or "meet for coffee". We are going to be doing dinner, but it'll be unique dinner

Ah, I feel like going on a date

mina · Nov 21, 2007

i wanna go on a date!!!
but to answer your question- mini golf or indoor rock climbing or a hike, something fun and where you can see the real them

latteda · Nov 21, 2007

A drive in or outside community movie. They are so fun!

Or something outdoorsy like hiking, canoeing, caving....

Neve · Nov 21, 2007

Bowling, mini golf, or coffee shop.

Movies are more for platonic friends or long-term dating couples; stay away from it for the first couple of dates.

I went out driving with my new boyfriend to see Christmas lites in the upper class neighborhood.
It was actually romantic I never thought to go lite gazing,he did. Thanks for posting you all.

My friend and I (we are kinda on the border between dating and not) 'go crazy' sometimes. This is where one of us makes plans and doesn't tell the other person where we are going. We often end up just walking around downtown (we go to school in the city centre) or going to a new coffee shop, but it is fun all the same, both for the one making the plans and the one who has no idea what is going on.
