First date: Should not be awkward, should be in a public and crowded place as friends and having something to do, like bowling or an arcade or anything that will make boht laugh. More personal places that will leave the two of you alone (restaurant) should be left for the second or third. It goes like this: First: Fun crowded place. Second: Public but also not too many distractions (restaurant, the beach), Third: Bring back the element fun but in a more personal place (home: a meal together), Is fun, from 4 on....lol, well, be creative.
