* Economy: Picnic at night. After, just looking at the stars and chatting.
* Middle: Mini golf, followed by movies at home; with pizza, popcorn and ice cream involved. A prank on the neighbors is also possible.
* Money is No Object: A day at the zoo. Doing one of those Escape Rooms would be fun too.

I agree, but I am a little outspoken about things like this and would insist on going for a nice evening stroll in a park where we find a nice spot to have a picnic dinner or talk or do both and he gives me a nice neck rub (he gives the best especially when he uses coconut oil 
) In my opinion that would be the best date when you are trying to economize and if you had all the money in the world

Economy: Having sodas at McDonalds and just chatting (this actually happened, she worked at Burger King at the time, that rebel )
Middle: Dinner at a buffet restaurant, and a movie. (Half of this actually happened, it was prom)
No Limit: A two-week trip around the world. (This is the game show me talking.)

This thread reminds me of a Luann comic I once read.
First date: They go to an expensive restaurant.
Tenth date: They go to a fast food factory.
Twentieth date: The guy is sitting at the kitchen table while the girl looks in the fridge. "Okay we've got leftover chili... and hot dogs."
"Chili sounds good."

Hmm... I have no experience with going on dates. I do have a few ideas though. They are not very exciting ideas, no zip lines or roller coasters or haunted houses. But I believe I am one of the most quietly decadent men I know.
BUDGET:
This would involve a large pack of tater logs from a local supermarket deli. They get big potatoes from the store's produce section, cut them in quarters lengthwise, coat them with breading and fry them. They are beyond delicious. I would get a 25-pack of them.
The date would consist of sitting on the couch all night, with a lot of tater logs and a lot of little bowls of different kinds of dips. Cheese dip, mustard/mayo, various salad dressings, honey (not honey flavored dip, just pure honey,) and a few dips that require extensive use of the spice rack. Those last dips would probably need to be made beforehand and chill in the fridge for a few hours. There would also be a few empty small bowls if we wanted to mix a couple or three dips together.
Then we would sit on the couch together and talk... or maybe just sit for a while. If our relationship is not good enough for us to be comfortable with some silence between us we shouldn't be having this date yet. Phones and TV remotes would be locked in a car for the night. One of us would probably be leaning against the other most of the time, and we would talk when we had something to say, and if we had nothing to say we wouldn't say it.
MID-GRADE:
There's this restaurant I know of, not terribly expensive, pretty good food, and it is built on a bluff beside the Tennessee River. We could order a couple meals to go, but we would only be going as far as outside. There aren't any seats but I could bring a blanket. Maybe a towel if the lady wants to go for a dip, but I'm not much for water stuff. We could sit on top of the bluff where we could see the whole river or we could go down and sit on the shore itself. And as before, we would talk about stuff, or maybe not, but we would sit together a lot.
EXPENSIVE:
This would be like the budget date, but it would be in the Opryland Hotel and it would be catered. Opryland Hotel bills itself as the largest non-gambling hotel in the USA. The hotel rooms are in halls built around very large areas that are basically the outdoors, brought indoors, climate controlled. Here is a picture of the Delta area. Remember this is INDOORS.
We would get one or two rooms with balconies overlooking Delta. One if we were already married, two if we weren't yet. We would also get a couple of connected rooms for the catering staff to use as a staging area. The caterers would be from a catering company that has never heard of hot dogs, but knows how to make wonderful things out of pastry, cheese and mushrooms. We could plan a menu of little bites of things but I would rather ask them to just give us a lot of little samples of everything they have - hence the need for a couple of rooms for the staging area, as it would be impolite to impose on the hotel for facilities for the caterers.
After a long, leisurely meal one bite at a time, we would spend a few hours walking around the hotel and talking, or maybe not talking. Opryland Hotel takes a few hours to walk around and see, especially if you take your time and do it right. There are restaurants, pubs, Godiva chocolatier, gift shops, a steak house, even a nightclub though I never bothered sticking my head in there and getting my ears assaulted.
After ten pm though, that's when we would start walking and looking around for real. The stores are all closed, the crowds are mostly gone to their rooms and the place is... almost beautiful. The lighting is all recessed and set low to the ground. As it is all indoors, the temperature is always perfect and there are never any bugs. It's a wonderful place to stroll around, sit a while on a bench, just relax and enjoy the scenery.
And now you know why I'm single. I AM SO BOOOOOORING! But those really are my ideal dates. If the lady wanted something more exciting I would be up for it, but I'm quite happy to take a late night stroll in a beautiful place with a wonderful woman.

For a guy who claims he isn't interested in dating and doesn't want a girlfriend, this is the most detailed essay about what to do on a date that I've ever seen, and with pictures!!!! (Which are super cool!)
In fact, BECAUSE of the length and all the details...
At first glance, I almost thought that I was the one who wrote this post!!!
Cheerio... Good job, mate!
The following is not a symphony but it is one of the most beautiful pieces I have ever heard.
I could only play the first few bars and when the trills came in I was lost.
I promised my kids that if ever they got to the level to play that I would give them £1,000.
I know it's not unmasking me but giving you all a little bit more insight about me.

Oh yeah, the MUSIC! Imagine me of all people forgetting to mention the music! I was thinking about the music when I was thinking about the dates, but when I wrote my post I forgot all about it.
For the budget and mid-grade dates I would connect my phone to some good speakers and play either classical (Vivaldi, Bach and Mozart mostly) or Trans-Siberian Orchestra, depending on the lady's preference. TSO is what classical music would have been if they had drum sets and electric guitars back then.
For the all-out date we wouldn't have any background music. It would interfere with the walking around and looking at stuff. Even for the meal, I would rather concentrate on the exquisite morsels of food than have music.

Holy Cannolis, Lynx.
With as much time, effort, and excruciating detail as you've put into thinking up dates...
I'm thinking... We need to find you a girlfriend, like, RIGHT NOW, mister!
We just can't let all that work go to waste...
