FIRST DATE IDEAS FROM MEMBERS

Something simple to see if we click.

This is good one what would I do on my first date, how about going bungee jumping or parachuting. Or really be realistic and we meet at a wine bar and if you are like me be spontaneous do something off the cuff.

My ideal first date would be simply going out to dinner and talking honestly. No veiled come-ons, no sexual innuendos. Just talking about how you feel about life. I think a woman learns a lot about a man that way, if I wait and let my true feelings come out later, then I fill that I am misrepresenting myself and then I would wonder why things didn’t work out. I can learn a lot from the conversation also, if they get their brains out of the "I wonder if she is going to put out tonight" mode. I fill a lot of women aren’t up-front either but there are a lot out there like me "what you see is what you get" if that is not what you are looking for fine, we had a nice dinner and got to know each other before the relationship turned to sex and the woman is left feeling empty and used. But alway giving my deep respect to a woman like old school ethic is the way it should remain and be. I think a good first date doesn’t have to involve the typical "dinner and a movie". It’s important that the date include time to get to know each other (that is, talking/conversation time) and a movie just doesn’t lend that kind of time. Dinner is good but it can be a little formal. I think going for brunch and then doing something that you both of us enjoy (say, going to a museum or a carnival or going hiking, walking, bowling, etc).

An ideal first date would be somewhere we could get to know each others personalities. Could be a few drinks, could be dinner or even white water rafting for the day. Doesnt matter really where, it is the person you meet that is important.

Just going some place quiet to talk

A nice walk or BikeRide then Lunch or Dinner.

how about me making you a delicious dinner and a romantic walk on the beach.

I am new to online dating, and never thought I would venture this route, to discover that special someone. As I reflect I miss, enjoy and seek being in the arms, life and heart of the one that I love to love, that also loves loving me, as we eagerly navigate and negotiate life’s mysteries/pleasures/challenges, together. I enjoy and desire feeling attracted, attractive and intrigued. If not, excited, enchanted and captivated by the one man that is meant to become my fateful mate. I don't have just one preconceived notion about a first date to elaborate on and anticipate the more traditional courting ritual of; meeting, greeting, talking, dinner, dancing, movie, flowers, cards, shopping, and the like... However, there will be no limits once I become impressed and inspired, or enamored with the right man. I’m sure to wisp you off your feet. With focused attention, ardent affection, an inclination for romance, joyful anticipation and pleasure. Are you receptive/ready/willing/able? Some places/things I like to be/go/do for: enjoyment, leisure and passion in my free time are read, relax, workout, swim, bike, shop, dive, ski, read, nature, watch a movie, boat/sail, listen to music, symphony, dine out, visit friends and relatives, fellowship, community service, travel, sightsee, cook/grill/recipes, shop, mountain home, beach, home, church, tropics, Killington VT, Steamboat springs, Santa Fe NM, Denver CO, community and social events. And/or, the fiery anticipation of being in my lovers arms, gazing into her as we converse, sip wine, and cuddle while the snow falls and the fire subdues us, after a day of tender, loving, caring and pleasurable moments.

Somewhere to sit and talk to each other preferably over a meal.

Find a nice picturesque spot to walk, talk and perhaps stop for a coffee or a quick bite. Safe/Simple

WERE YOU LIKE TO GO ON YOUR FIRST DATE

We meet at the Fair where we can introduce each other and sit down to hear the music of the band that is playing near the refreshment area and to snack and talk about what we may have in common. We can enjoy popcorn and a cold beer or sausage & peppers with fresh squeezed lemonade. It is exciting and enjoyable because so many people are around and having a fun time and neither of us is intimidated or worried about having to guess what to say or do. Plenty of options to choose from this time of year.......

Meet in a very casual setting over either a cup of coffee or a drink

Let's get together for cocktails and if we are mutually interested we should have dinner.

1st meeting is probably best to meet for a drink & then take things from there, but 1st proper date could be anything fun cinema,dinner,show,concert,day at the coast, anything that we both like.

Attend a NCAA Division I football game in the afternoon, and enjoy a nice dinner afterwards.

What can you really tell about a person from a few pictures and a few words. I think you can only get a feel for a person face to face so how about just getting to know each other over a drink and see how it goes.....

Dinner at a nice restaurant with a bottler of good red wine.

Dinner and drinks give me the best opportunity to have the best chance of excellent conversation and to get to know the person. I really like all dating venues and can have fun in almost all settings.

not looking to meet in person. just looking for some interesting online, flirtatious conversations. ;)
