So this isn't a specific situation, just something I'm thinking of. If you had your choice where would you go for a first date? Just a fun little question to see what people are like.

For me: I would go for coffee. I have a freind who owns his own cafe, roasts his own beans and mixes his own blends. It is great coffee, and it has great atmosphere. I find for initial dates somewhere laid back like this is great for talking, which I think is important for a new relationship.

So what is yours?

I would go eat. I think it's easy to talk at a sit down restaurant and just get to know each other. Maybe even a coffee or ice cream place. I think the movies would be fun but harder to talk since it's supposed to be quiet in there.

hm... I am trying to remember one of my favorite dates...

I think one of my favorite was a trip to an IHOP (international house of prayer) followed by some cullinary adventures. The man was Korean so we went for some authentic Korean BBQ and Seafood pancakes and then had coffee at two different shops :D

Another time we went to a zoo for a day - and then had a picknic!

Barnes and Noble is a great place to go to just snoop in books and then they usually have coffee shops too :D and Malls are fun for people watching!

Meeting for coffee is a good first date. It's quick and gives you enough time to ascertain whether or not you want to maybe have a second date.

...I'd spend more time nosing through books than I would be paying attention to who I am there with. Barnes and Noble is kryptonite to a book nerd like me.

Last time I went into a bookstore they were gonna kick me out for reading a whole book. The manager saved me since they knew me and knew I would buy whatever I read. Definately not good for me to go on a date either.

haha those are pretty funny stories and would make a date memorable...
as long as you keep with the date and if your date is as big a nerd as you - all is well right??

And some jail story to go with it and you have a great story for the grand kids one day in the future :D

Maybe I'd take her to a movie. Not a horror movie, though. Might be kind of awkward. You know, if she gets scared and wants to hold on to me when we don't really know each other. Unless we were friends beforehand or something.

Probably something that I usually do by myself, it's just that I'd have company along. There's also a very good chance that if it wasn't stated outright, I wouldn't realize it was supposed to be a date (and for any guys taking notes, that might actually be the best way to go about it; minimal expectations and therefore minimal pressure).

Coffee, I'd love to go to an art museum, though. The bookstore would be great, only I'd change it to a second hand bookstore with dusty, old treasures. I prefer an old, used book over a shiny, new one any day.

The last first date I went on we went to the coast and had lunch, it was beautiful and gave us plenty of time to talk. Now, I don't recommend going on trips for a first date, but he was a total gentleman, he actually got upset when a driver cut us off and commented that he had precious cargo inside :eek:

It doesn't really matter what we do, but I'd love to have a date where the conversation is so easy and natural, time evaporates like a mist, and when you float back down to reality, you reluctantly part ways, but know that you just can't wait to see or talk to this person again. <3

A good first date for me would be to participate in an ironman triathlon,2.4 miles swim,112 miles bike,26.2 miles run.

And if she finishes then I know she is the marrying type,or at least to go out on more dates,and it does not matter how long it takes her to finish,as long as she finishes,or if she does not it would bother me,but don't go thinking we are going out on another date.

I dated this one woman,and we did that,participated in a ironman triathlon,and I finished,and then I patiently waited,for two days,and then here she comes,but I did not care of it was two days,as long as she finished.

And I thought now this is a woman I would like to marry,and with more training,and she improved,I would be even more delighted in her.

And as she was coming towards me,I thought about asking her out on another date,but as she neared I did not get the chance,for she pointed a finger at me in the upright position,and said some nasty things to me,and about me,and I thought what did I do wrong.

And then I thought about it,and I was too hard on her for the first date,and I smacked my head,and then I smacked my head again because I could of had a V-8,instead of the vitamin water I was drinking,but with the gorilla like strength I have I knocked myself out,so the next time I go on date,I am going to tone it down a bit,maybe run with the bulls,or climb Mount Everest,but I will see.

Maybe on a date I should stick to watching instead of participating.
