    I think going out to eat is horribly awkward for a first date. I'd say something outdoors, or grab a coffee and go on a walk. Nothing too fancy or awkward there!

    I'm with Selly...no restaurants! But I would have a hard time stating what I would like...haven't been on a "first date" in approx. 16 years.

    Take me to a game. Red Sox especially. Bruins and Pats too. Awesome date! Also love little quiet pubs where we can chat and get to know each other better. Would prefer not a movie or a loud bar.

    Also very much enjoyed a date with a personal trainer at the gym. Probably not what a typical girl likes though.

    Go play something, Mimi golf, pool......

    Go somewhere fun. Fair, bouncy houses, amusement park......

    Go somewhere you know and have pick nick, hiking where you used to play as a child and sharing memories is a great way to get to know someone.

    A long hike... as long as he's not a rapist.

    Lust at first sight which later leads to marriage. That's what happened with my husband <3

    A great first date I once went on.. I met the guy in his college town. We went out to dinner, not a fancy place, but a craft beer type place with a friendly atmosphere. Walked to the local park from there where they show movies in the summer on a big screen. He brought a blanket and we just hung out and watched the movie, but we could talk because we weren't in a theater or anything. It was nice!!

    I agree! Almost no one would eat "normally" on a first date. Plus going for a walk there would be no chairs to get hit with!:laugh:

    Trail riding with a fellow horse person.
    Absolute NO's; sports events of any type, bars. I never go to either.

    Going for a run/hike or to a sporting event because I thoroughly enjoy going to pro sports!

    Agree with the no restaurant rule! Walking around downtown, getting to know each other, then something fun and maybe competitive like mini golf, bowling, or even go carts!!

    A couple of drinks in a chill bar. Maybe two hours. Seriously--no complicated activities or elaborate stuff.

    On a first date all I want to do is meet you, talk for a while, get to know each other a bit. If that goes well, bring on the restaurants/hikes/museums/dance lessons/kayaking/whatever on subsequent dates. Nothing is more awkward than some long, involved activity on a first date, especially if you're not really hitting it off.

    Ask me to go get a drink. Don't try to be creative.

    Well, if you're artsy like me- there's nothing like going out to a cafe for coffee and sketching.

    Last time I had a date like that, we ended up back at my place cooking dinner and watching movies. And yeah. We've been together 2 yrs now :P. First dates that started out with a fancy dinner at a stuffy restaurant, or going OUT to the movies usually made things awkward. You need to be able to chat when you first meet someone, no?

    No idea about most of the date, but it ends with the walk of shame.

    I like the idea of bonding over a shared activity like mini golf or bowling, something where you can talk but if there is nothing natural to say you can talk about what's going on. so dinner is out, movie is out. They have this new trend where you can go to a paint studio and paint the painting of the night and there is alcohol and you both get to take your painting home at the end of the day. Sports game works too if the girl likes sports although $$ to spend on someone you don't even know.

    Love all these ideas.

    First date with my hubby-to-be: Golfing, but only 9 holes "just in case we hate each other", followed by drinks and food in the bar after because we were having such a great time.

    Activities are the way to go, things to do so you don't have to fill the silence of dinner at a restaurant, it's so much more fun and casual to be doing something while you get to know each other.

    A couple of other cool first dates I had: Pedicure (yes, a guy and I went for pedicures once), tour of a dam, Laser light show, arcade followed by ice cream.

    Anything that involves alcohol, nothing breaks the ice better than a little booze in the system.
