Although the ideas of the actual date should be different every time, I find it great to both secretly think of an idea, then when you pick her up, you flip a coin to see who chooses!

Then…. you have a great reason for a second date as the other person gets to do their idea!

I agree with stefanie opinion above because we all have to know our partner more right if not how we could get along with each other in the future.

Going on a hike and having a picnic after is always fun. I like going to dinner on a first date, but it has to be with the right person. I am a server, and I see so many awkward first dates. If you know conversation is not going to flow, don’t do somethig where you are just sitting across from each other. Do something active first in order to break the ice, and then sit, talk, and get to know each other.

Some amazing suggestions here, but I think most of these feel like second dates. I think that the first date should be as simple as possible, so you can get to know each other a little and focus on the conversation. If you’ve nothing to talk about, it’s best to know that straight away, as there’s no amount of abseiling/ pony trecking/ make-your-own-cocktail classes that will get round that longer term.

I’m going to take issue with suggestion #2: don’t tag along to something she’s interested in. You look like a doormat — and if it’s any kind of athletic activity she’s probably got more experience so you may get trounced. Invite her into your world. Let her do the fun and exciting things you do when she’s not around (even if you’ve never done them before, don’t tell her that).

Thought experiment: which guy is more sexy? The one who tries to play tennis with her and makes a fool of himself on the court? Or the one who takes her on her first kayaking trip and shows how well he can handle the boat? Give her a reason to respect you!

Last couple of first dates involved shopping and hide and seek with nosy friends, skiing (although i was terrible) and a fun easy night on the wii!

I took a girl out to a Rock climbing gym. that was a lot of fun. its a hobby of mine which i actually had not done in a while. she didnt really know how, so i was pretty much teaching her. i actually surprised myself how much i knew. she learned, and good at it really quickly. it was amazing actually

the car ride home was long..and just awkward lol, so nothing really happened after

Great advice. First date: Seeing Jeremiah Johnson at the University Cafeteria then a walk in the fall leaves. She wore my overcoat.

Second date – Frisbee and a picnic. She was lame at Frisbee but a really good sport. Then the flies came out at the picnic area and we ended up hiding under the picnic blanket. Again, a good sport…much laughing and cursing of flies. Secretly we were both delighted. She kissed me. :-)

That was 1984. Last night’s date was ice skating at the local lake (the city keeps a section plowed and smooth) and hot chocolate.

If you want to stay married, block out date nights (at least two a month). Otherwise you’ll get lost in the mundane.

One of my favorites is a road trip of any kind. Traveling someplace like the beach or a city we haven’t been to. Both of these places have tons of things to do.

This article is great soley for trying to get people out of the dinner and a movie routine. I have often found myself stuck in that routine and they were never memorable. My most memorable first date was when I met a girl and we went to the arcade and aquarium together. It was way out of the ordinary and fun!
