First date ideas

[SillyShyGuy]

I wanted to know the different choices everyone here makes when it comes to where to go for a first date. I am not asking about expensive places or even romantic places. Just wondering the top three places you would want to go for a first date?

Mine would be between movie theater, coffee shop, or a fast food joint.

Be creative! Everyone takes their girl to a fast food place. Movie theatre is terrible as you cannot speak. If you do want a coffee, take her to a book store

I prefer first dates to be very casual and not be so "date-like," if that makes any sense. Getting coffee or pizza, or just sitting somewhere and talking for a few minutes (or longer) works for me. It's a situation where I can gauge just how much the other person is interested in me and the conversation that I like (or even if I feel comfortable talking a lot to them), and there's also no real romantic expectation.

I usually go with whatever. However my dream date is going to the Amusement Park. I like something fun and enjoyable.

I like just going for a walk, say like along the beach, can climb out on the jettys, then go to a shop, look around maybe get a nice cup of coffee
Not real expensive, and quality time to get to know each other better

For a first date, casually hanging out is good along with a nice dinner.


One particular date that stood out for me was being cooked a nice home cooked meal at their own residence, and I didn't realize it at the time but in their process of getting to know me, they had already taken note of my favorite foods, food allergies, in the small talk conversations they had with me preceding the date, before I was even asked out.

definitely go somewhere where the two of you can actually talk

i hate when a guy asks me to see a movie on a first date. you can't talk and it almost encourages you to do nothing but try to make out and/or sneak a feel if the movie isn't good. certainly not what i would call enjoyable.


the person i'm seeing right now took me shooting on our first official date. he thought it was a good idea because it let me learn a bit about him and something he is into, while he focused most of the conversation around me. carming devil, he is, but it worked. :whoops::P

I don't think movie theaters are very good first date places. On first dates, you wanna get to know each other and whatnot and you can't really do that if you can't talk.
I think going out for coffee or something is a good first date. Simple, but it's something to do. Or something that stimulates conversation, like a museum. Not like a super fancy one you have to pay a lot to get into, but a cheap one or even ones that have free admission on some days but isn't boring as shit. The city where my sister lives has a free museum that has a mummy.

Simple things are nice. Just someplace where you can talk.

My boyfriend has a car and his own place (he's not too much older, don't worry!) so we just drove around for a while and talked and listened to music. It's a great way to bond, it was also the first time he drove me somewhere and it was very reassuring he was a good driver, haha. Anyways, just spend time together and talk, another great first date I had was going to the park. We walked around the whole park, talked and talked and talked, and eventually made out too so that was nice. It doesn't really matter what it is, as long as you get to know the person.

I wouldn't recommend going to the movies, although it can be nice, I feel likes it's too much for a first date. First dates shouldn't really be too date-y. I'm not saying going to the movies is bad, but the purpose of them is to talk and interact with one another and bond and make each other wanna go again. In the movies you can't really talk or interact because you're focusing more of the movie instead of each other which isn't that good of a date. Try something that is something that you can have fun, laugh, and talk. You don't really have to be too fancy for the first. The first is just to be yourself and have fun and talk, not anything romantic like the arm over the shoulder watching a movie or anything like that. Maybe go bowling or an amusement park.

Maybe go down to a lake and just talk, go to a party together, go eat at a restaurant downtown, a concert

[Semi_IronMan]

a first date should be simple and bot over the top. I agree with Melodic maybe you should go to an amusement park, who doesn't like amusement parks ¿?

[SillyShyGuy]

Haha that is not a good idea since we both work at a world famous amusement park, going to one sounds like work to us.

[pjones]

went to the beach for my first date, she suggested it and we had a great time.

This is a kewl beans question actually, and I've been thinking about this very thing already!

I have never been on a real date yet. But for me a real date would be a burger or a pizza and then followed by a movie, even if parents had to drive us around here and there. Going to a bookstore does not seem like a date to me. But maybe I have read too many books and developed silly ideals.

[Andyyy95]

Cooking our own meal at home, and perhaps a movie to follow.

Do not worry about your first real date. I did not have my first real date until high school when my best friend for four years asked me to spend a day with her. We went to see Dark Shadows, went to Starbucks, and drove around talking to each other. It was so much fun.

Drinks in the city center preferably outside
