Hey guys, what would you do for a first date?

Plenty of things to do on a date...

1) Play B.I.N.G.O at a local favorite fun place or local church er
something...leave satan at da door heh heh ^_^

2) Go mall shopping

3) Go to the movies

4) Check out the local comedy theatres or scenes going on..

5) Club dancing and social mingling

6) Take your dating companion to meet your friends and maybe everyone
can go out and have fun together and do differen't thangs!

7) Why not go out to Kareoke together and have some fun singing duet heh
heh

8) Travel to an amusement park or Festival and really have a blast

So many things to do and these are just a small few....but hope ya'll
had fun wit the ideas ^_~

a warm recieve then get to know more about ourself and move ahead to
talk base on th kind of relationship we may want to go into.
bigbros,(Francis)

find out what kind of things your date likes to do and try to pick
something fun from the choices. or share some of the things you like to
do and now you've expanded the list , then choose from that. Seems like
a sure thing. You don't want to take your date Bowling for example ,
then find out that's where the ex likes to hang out or something like
that.LOL!!!

Not a real issue...

Trite perhaps, but finding a mutually pleasing location which is fairly
quiet so you don't have to yell back and forth, and simply start with
open conversation. Gauge the attraction (eye contact is often helpful)
and then see what happens or how you both want to proceed...

Maybe this should be a pre-date date.
For a first meeting with a casual acquaintance from online, I would say
meeting for coffee or a drink or a light lunch in a quiet place where
you can talk would be appropriate. The object being to see if there is
sufficient appeal by both parties to continue. If the date is so busy
doing things, you wind up not knowing anymore than you did before the
date. I think anything beyond that should be on a "dutch treat" basis.
I've gotta be honest here... it's not only men online that can be
deceptive! There seems to be a real disagreement about what "a few extra
pounds" is. And maybe someone can come up with a dating site program
that would reject those "Glamour Shots" that are more than 3 years old!!
I really think I'm entitled to see what I'm getting before I decide to
shell out my hard earned bucks. (no, not sexual). Some people do
misrepresent themselves or embellish. You do need to "sell yourself" but
let's keep it within some sane distance of honest!
If they are not truthful about simple things like this, then will they
be less than truthful about other things?
And NEVER rent a limo for a blind date!!!

Back to the question.. other than the above pre-date. I used to
routinely take my first dates to a small amusement park where we could
ride go-karts, bumper boats and check out the arcade or play mini-golf.
Have a corn dog and share some cotton candy.

with what dating is like nowadays i don't see anything wrong with the
predate concept. i usually invite them to have drinks or lunch or
something and have something else planned incase we hit it off. my first
dates are usually designed around something fun where you can call it an
evening at anytime if someone is not enjoying the others company.

Near me we have an interesting place called the Butterfly House. A
place you can watch and learn about the life cycle of these creatures.
It would be great to go some Sat. afternoon there and have a picnic. And
or maybe a road trip to the White Mountains in New Hampshire. I enjoy an
afternoon also in some museum, such as the Museum of Fine Arts, Museum
of Science and the New England Aquarium. All those can workout to be a
great place to enjoy myself even if the date wasn't working out.

Nice..

I like your ideas of a first date Recon...I prefer something that
doesn't involve alcohol and provides a little intellectual stimulation
instead. Drinking and nightclubing make for bad first dates in my
opinion. Those types of places tend to make people act like something
other than what they really are. Not that I'm a square mind you - but
there is so much more out there than clubing and how can you possibly
get to see what someone is really like in a dark, noisy, smoke-filled
club...Especially after a few drinks? I think those types of dates are
best left for when you get to really know and trust someone and how they
act. I think too much stress is put on the "first" date and it shouldn't
be about pressure. Even a predate like lunch would be an excellent idea
to break the ice a bit first. Then maybe you will have a better idea of
how the two of you jive and go from there.

hummm whatever he wants to do!!
