FIRST DATE IDEAS FROM MEMBERS

I enjoy a huge range of activities from the city to the wilderness, the indoors to the outdoors, the exciting to the sedate, the sublime to the silly, the intellectual to the athletic, the formal to the casual, and I think variety is the spice of life. With that in mind, our dates might be something like … First date: Begin by enjoying conversation and each other’s company while getting revved up on caffeine at a nice coffee house, and then going sightseeing around the city/area. After that, relaxing with a nice glass of wine or a cocktail at a classy bar before enjoying a gourmet dinner at a fine restaurant. We feed each other dessert, and then go for a slow, hand-in-hand walk down the beach. The evening concludes with me kissing the back of your hand while saying goodnight… Second date: We go on a hot air balloon ride, and then have a light lunch before going on hike in the mountains. I carry you on my back and in my arms when you want to rest… Third date: Cocktails and appetizers at a trendy bar before heading by town car to a show at the theatre or symphony, followed by a late dinner at a hip bistro… Fourth date: We attend a university lecture/symposium on art history, anthropology, physics and cosmology, classical literature, math, philosophy, or any other mutually interesting subject, and then go get giant ice cream cones to help cool off our smoking brains. We then further stretch our intellectual and creative faculties by visiting an art museum where some of the exhibits move and inspire us with their beauty while others baffle us with their esoteric bizarreness. Our brains melted, we go home and eat pizza while watching a sophomoric movie starring Adam Sandler, Jason Segel, or some other clown. Fifth date: Backyard barbeque Sixth date: A weekend trip to the mountains for skiing/sledding/snowshoeing or to the beach in Florida for swimming, sunbathing, jet skiing, and more… Seventh date: You'll just have to find out for yourself...

Well can go for a walk and talk. Anything u wana do.

Dinner and a Movie, followed by a walk near a river or a stream

sit at home and watch a movie on tv and talk and get to know another

Either one of us showing the other our home town. It's simple and gives you a chance to talk with ease.

Lets keep it simple and both have escape plans in case we get terminally bored or think the other is a psycho. Just kidding!!! Well, sort of... ;-) Lets just come up with something fun to do together where we can get to know each other better.

This is my favorite time of year, Christmas. Something that I loved as a child, and still do today, is the Macy's (formerly Daytons) Auditorium. It is a fantasy land filled with animated puppets and tells a wonderful Christmas story. Do you remember the “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus” letter (My favorite Christmas story) that was published in the New York Sun in 1897? Macy’s is reviving that memory for this year’s Auditorium / Santaland celebration. Would you like to come and experience the magic with me?

I would take out to dinner and a movie whatever come next

I like to get to know someone, a nice cafe or restaurant. So we can talk, rather than a movie or club. Movies and Clubs can come later, I like to get to know somebody first, quiet bistro, or coffee bar.

When I go on a first date I don't go all out for it--I go as myself. You don't need to be with someone who likes you for who you really aren't on the inside, so when you go on that first date be yourself. Don't worry about the dumb things and if it was meant to be it was meant to be.

Solid guy looking for a good person to hang out with, get to know and see where it goes from there. I'm blah, blah, blah, blah.......

Dinner and drinks at a romantic restauraunt over looking the water. A long walk on the beach after dinner.

A first date is stressful enough without adding more to it. A no pressure meeting somewhere that we both will feel comfortable relaxing and talking over a drink(can be tea or whatever you want).

Whatever you are comfortable with.

To me, it always seems to be very dependant on the personalities of those involved. I'm open to just about anything, but I'll admit that drinks and a walk along a waterfront has always been a fav of mine. ;)

Anything really. Whatever makes my date feel comfortable. Something different, something surprising.

some place simple yet fun but yet not too loud either so you and I can communicate

Dinner and a show down town on Frankfort ave . Love the area .

Open minded and happy to travel.

A great meal in a quiet place place where we can engage in casual conversation and get to know each other.
