Dates in General

[Destinyforce]

Well, I'm not sure if im bi, gay, straight, im not going to screw my self thinking and fighting over it in my head, so this entitles both sexes.

So i was on fb the other day, and i was reading messages from the few friends i have added (not the coolest dude) and saw that this girl that i sorta liked asked me to a dance...Well i said no because i had NO idea how to pick it up from there...i don't even know where to take her on a date if we did hook up. So What I am asking is: What is a good place to take your girlfriend/boyfriend on a first date...

[Lost in the Echo]

Any place you both think you'll like. Talk about it with your date, and the both of you can make that decision.
I think that would be the best thing to do. :)

Every time I go on a first date I always go out to dinner. Going to dinner gives you the chance to talk, get to know each other, and have fun. I know some people think that you should do something fun and exciting on a first date, but if you ask me, first dates are all about getting to know the person and feeling out if you want to continue seeing them. Going to dinner gives you that opportunity. Doing something afterwards is always fun if you want to do more. Some people like to do dinner and then go see a movie. Or you could always go get ice cream/frozen yogurt. It's cold outside now. So that's probably not a good idea. haha But in the future when it's not so cold outside. If you have places like mini golf or something you could always do that. It's fun and you'd definitely have a good time.

My only suggestion is that do not ONLY go to a movie on a first date. I know some people do that, but if you ask me, that is the worst thing you could possibly do. Going to only a movie doesn't give you the chance to get to know the person. All you are doing is watching the movie and then leaving. You aren't talking or anything. Going to see a movie after going to eat or something is fine, but I wouldn't suggest going to only a movie.

There are tons of things you can do on a first date. My suggestion is start with dinner and then if things are going well, ask her if she'd like to go somewhere else. Then from there you two can discuss what you'd like to do. I always start with dinner and then go from there.

Thank you very much. I will definitely keep that in mind, also thanks for taking your time to reply!

Depends on your age but if you are unsure about going on a date with this girl, ask her to a movie. Taking her to dinner can be expensive and hard to draw conversations. Movies are easy since they are cheap and it doesn't envolve as much talking.

The last first date I had was to the German market before Christmas that was cute. But yeah I'd suggest going to the cinema because its limited conversation so won't be too awkward after all.it doesn't take long for you to realise if you don't like a person and if you're at dinner you'd still have to make conversation throughout the meal at least at the cinema you don't. And you know there is the plus that you're practically guaranteed a kiss in the cinema.

Maybe if you are concerned about not having enough time to talk you could go for coffee before hand?

I agree with not going to a movie on the first date. I went to a movie for my first date a week ago for mine and my girlfriends birthday. Ive dated her many times(off and on for over a year but now steady) and I know alot about her, so we thought a movie would be nice. It was, but only because I knew everything about her already. You sit in silence for 2 hours holding hands or arms around each other(if thats what people do lol) and then you leave. A movie is a great idea if you already know the girl and have been dating her awhile, not if you don't know her.

Movies of course..dinner whatever. In my town we have a go-kart track a putt-putt and an arcade. Don't over think it, dates are to be fun and to enjoy the time you have with that person! My very first date I asked her if she wanted to go to the driving range and hit some golf balls with me.... we had a blast, you would be amazed at what sounds boring could actually turn into a really good time!! Its not like your taking her to buy a diamond ring ;)
