Where do you go for the perfect first date?

I took a girl to this little hole-in-the wall restaurant that was really dark and romantic.  Then we went to this park that had this really tall stone wall that went all the way around it.  We climbed up on it and walked it for a huge chunk of the night.  It was a cheap date but one of the best I remember\n\n   Another one was (and I was broke then too)  I fixed a really nice meal and went to the video store and got a bunch of old black and white movies.  We ate then turned the lights of and watched Casablanca and talked through it all.  She thought it was great because all her first dates involved a restaurant and a movie theater.  It was something that hadn't happened to her before

One that ends too soon.\n\nSometimes, you schedule a one hour lunch date or meet for coffee and it feels the hour will NEVER END!\n\nSometimes, you schedule an hour and enjoy yourself, and even like the person you have met.  They would be a good friend.  But they are kind of like 452 other people you know.\n\nAnd sometimes, you are ticked because an hour is gone, you are still talking, and you REALLY wish you would have scheduled 2 hours instead.  You really want to keep talking, but you stick to your original one hour plan and agree to meet again.  Soon.  \n\nThat, my friend, is the best first date.  Cost you under 20 bucks, short enough to still have some mystery about you...go ahead and pick out curtains during your second date.  But maybe you'd better do it without her finding out.

The first time I asked a guy out we went rollerblading in the park and then went out for a casual dinner. Keep it light and don't try to be all  romantic. Just see how you feel being alone with him the first time. If you keep your date filled with activities you will never run out of stuff to talk about and you won't have those awkward moments people get on first dates when they are all dressed up at some snooty restaurant. Have fun!

Any and everywhere.  Set aside, for a moment, the idea of looking for your next relationship and focus for a time on having a good time.  Strike up conversations with people you find attractive in line at the movies, at bars, restaurants, in the grocery store, book store, or wherever you go to pursue your interests.  \n\nMeanwhile, ask your friends to set you up with dates and go with the express intent of "practicing" dating - in other words, go with zero expectation of starting something.  If you have fun, great - you've met your goal.  \n\nSet goals for yourself like, "today I will talk to nine strangers I think are attractive" and go out and hit those goals.  Eventually, you'll meet someone with whom you really click.  The secret is giving up the attachment to having a relationship.

First, try to LISTEN to what your date partner tells you about herself, then try to (on a first date, anyway) choose something fun to do based on mutual interests and tastes.  If she likes the outdoors and water a lot, then suggest a visit to a park, beach, lake shore, river bank and go for a walk. If she likes movies, take her to a movie!  If she likes art, take her to a museum or gallery.... The list is endless, just as long as you try to be open-minded and sensitive to your date's likes/dislikes.  (If she hates, say, classical music, chances are that a Tchaikovsky concert will be a big blunder on your part.)\n\nPick something you both like, too. There is nothing more annoying than going out and seeing your date looking bored or annoyed because you picked something YOU like and are forcing her to go along to.\n\nPick something FUN.  And put thought into your choice.\n\nTry to relax and also let her get to know you.  Be attentive. Be polite.

okay well where did you have you first date. if that doesnt fit you can alwayd try the candles and roses thing. if you go a little before valentines and ask for the throw outs of roses so that you can take the petals it shouldnt be to pricey. also a favorite light meal and a chocolaty dessert like a crockpot mud cake. there is also sitting on the porch with a blanket and a pot of warm spiced wine just sitting and watching the stars.

Be kind and thoughtful, as for where to go that's easy go out for dinner or lunch for a walk after this way you will have time to get to talk and get to know each other better and then you can find out what the two of you have in common so you can plan the next date based on this!

Not really, but assuming that you're an adult and not a kid: \n\nAfter several email chat exchanges, if you don't already have one get a photo. Then  move on to telephone. Talk at least a few times on the phone before agreeing to meet. First date should be in a well lit public place for a drink or coffee. Starbucks is a good example.

You could make it a 'daytime date' and take her to a museum.  Keep it casual and fun for the first date, so there is no pressure on anyone and you can just talk and get to know each other.  Good luck and have fun!

Tell him Yes!  Dinner is an easy first date.  You can go and see how things happen and if it isn't so great then you can leave after.  But if it is great, then who knows.  I say go and give it a try - what are you waiting for?

If this is a first date, what mood is desired if not sexual? Sensuality is just as important as sexuality.\nAsking general not personal questions of her on a first date is ok. Be a good listener and flirt. Watch your language as some women are offended by blunt none of your business questions on a first date\nNever talk about your ex's and braggarts are boring.\nHold hands, be a gentleman,compliment her sincerely and above all, pay attention to subtle little gestures she may make to show she's interested in more than just holding hands, but don't be pushy. Honesty is always the best policy, but you don't have to feel obligated to tell her your whole life story. Be a little mysterious. Women are attracted to men who have good manners too, so don't pick your nose when you think she's not looking (only kidding)

I think that movies are a cop out on a first date...I agree with those who say do something low-key and fun.  Outdoor activities are great and you could take a picnic.  Have fun!
