1.Comedy Theater
Laughing together can break the ice better than anything else. Take in a
comedy show and relax together whilst you giggle away the evening. Just
avoid too much alcohol or offensive performers.

2.Billiards
If you?re looking for a casual way to relate to each other and break the
ice, try a friendly game of pool. Eight Ball is simple to understand,
and if things really go well, you might be able to help her improve her
break.

3.Miniature Golf
So eighteen holes would be a bit much for almost any date, but ten holes
of putt-putt might be right up your alley. Nobody does exceptionally
well at miniature golf, but it is always fun to play ?especially if you
cheat a little bit every now and then. Let those secrets help bring you
closer.

4.Dinner Theater
There is nothing wrong with dinner and show, but try a show that
sizzles. Skip the cinema, and find a quality dinner theater. Watch
professionals act without the assistance of computer animated special
effects whilst you enjoy a meal together. The arts are always an
excellent choice.

5.Coffee
There is no need to sign away your entire evening to a first date. Start
small. Try meeting for coffee just to size each other up. If a coffee
date goes well, extend the date by heading off for grander adventures
together.

6.Concert
While a heavy metal concert might not be the best place to try and get
to know each other, a concert in the park or jazz festival might be
perfect. Appreciate music together and have a basis for continuous
conversation.

7.Museum
Who says a date can?t be educational? Enjoy an art or history museum and
learn together. If you haven?t visited a museum lately, you might be
amazed at the exhibits available.

8.Picnic
Picnics can be romantic or casual, and for a first date you should shoot
for the latter. Grab a few basics and head out to the park or beach.
Enjoying a meal out of doors is relaxing and a perfect opportunity to
get to know each other better.

9.Botanical Garden
Surround yourself in natural beauty at botanical gardens. Quiet strolls
through rose bushes and koi ponds offer a sense of peace and
tranquility. It would not be advisable to pick any of the flowers for
your date, but you can certainly bring along a camera and take pictures
together.

10.Ice Cream
Are you not ready to commit to a full-scale date? Try something simple
like ice cream. Find a good ice cream shop and let yourself go wild.
Diets don?t exist on first dates, so get an extra scoop and then enjoy
the afternoon together as you stroll and visit.



THESE ARE SOME IDEALS FOR FIRST A FIRST DATE. DOES THESE SOUND LIKE GOOD
PLACES TO TAKE ONE FOR A FIRST DATE? DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAL TO ADD?

Fantastic Ideas Ms Txs,, Now can you supply the Man,,,

Hummmmm yeah I'll get right on it as soon as I figure out how to get one
myself.

I disagree.

Take it from a man's perspective. I schmooze my way into asking you for
a date while we were standing in line at Starbucks. You are impressed by
my confidence, charm and persistance, so you agree.

Now what? Am I going to REALLY suggest that our first date be several
hours together in the dark (as in a movie, or a dinner/movie thing)? No
way. A romantic walk on the beach with a goon you just met at Starbucks
- nope.

First dates have to be neutral. Comedy show was a great idea! Coffee was
another great one. But definately nothing romantic - otherwise you'd
come off as a creep.

Your thoughts?

Agree/Disagree

First Date's should and would be a Mutual Decission
you two would make together, Communication again is the key in picking
the place where you would both would be comfortable,, Different choices
for different people,,

Planning is soo ho-humm
Wing it and see if it goes well!
After all isn't it better to just see if the two can have fun in an
unplanned setting.....

Very True My Friend,, Very True

Planning is for Accountants....
Oh wait, I'm an accountant

Awwwww Yes you are,,,

aaaaaaaa, well, first dates,,,,,should be,,,,,,,,
GREAT AND FUN,,,,in WHATEVER you BOTH DO!!!!

I really wouldn't mind having sex at Starbucks on the first date..I
don't like coffee, so it would not bother me to get thrown out..

Now that would be a Remerable first date thier
Bobby

Wouldn't it, though, LAmom?

It sure would

Probably could sell tickets for that one..

Sorry TxsGal..I couldn't resist..I will go to my room now..

Hell in Californa,,, You probably could,,,

First Date has to be in a public area to make it safe for both. Movies
don't work cause it's dark and you can't talk.
Bars\clubs with loud music are bad the same way...can't talk.
Coffee shops, Ice cream parlors, or the mini golf is good.
Bowling is good fun with no pressure.
local fairs, car and air shows work if they are around.
Any outside event where you can go and sit for a bit and talk.
Art Galleries or museums work if you BOTH have an interest there.
If both are into racing or ball games they will work as well.
Look for a special event in the area that can make a memory.
TxsGal had some of these already and I added more.

Boy,

I guess I feel bad. I can not think of a first date that did not turn
out erotic in some way, unless it was with a casual friend.

Is that bad?
