For a first date....would probably be to the moviesEnd Quote

Excellent. I agree this to be the perfect thing to do on a first date.

Dining out, dancing, checking out some live music performance at a pub and singing along, karaoke and amusement parks are all fun things to do too.

One can always snuggle at the end of the evening next to the fireplace or on a cozy sofa or bed.  ;)

If I really want to play it like the sophisto, I would take her for an afternoon at the LA Museum Of Contemporary Arts (LACMA) or a play at the Pantages and then head for the Conga Room and see who's playing: Preferrably some Bossa Nova junk to balance the evening and chit-chat about each other or the surroundings and the people.

Sans mo-nay, I would bring her flowers and take her for an afternoon walk at the Santa Monica Pier to see the sunset and walk and talk amongst the colourful Impressionistic setting... never failing to compliment her on how she completes the scene with her presence.

Wow! :o  That sounds awesome!  

(Did I tell you I didn't have any plans this weekend) ::)



I think a "perfect" date for me would have to include a walk or picnic on the beach.  There is something so magical about the Ocean & experiencing it's beauty with someone close to you.  For me, when I am on the beach....it's almost like the world has stopped just for that moment & everything else pales in comparison.  

If there was no way to get to a beach...or if it was more like a first date...I would probably opt for a nice quiet dinner at an Italian restaurant then maybe catching either a play or seeing a good band play in a small venue.  :)

Quoting:

But if I had to choose an activity, it would be active.  Y'know, put the "active" back in "activity" :)  Like minigolf, bowling, ice skating, gokarting, that kind of thing.  Get the adrenaline going, and that in turn brings out the passion and energy in the date :)

minigolf gets the adrenaline going? ;D

Right about now, a perfect date would be anything without my kids ;D

Seriously, though, good food, good conversation, good music, all are essential.

Careful, I am a Stranger and women are advised not to take candy from me hahaha.

I wouldn't be able to resist your wicked smile. The curiosity to see if you're really hiding a woman within... or, perhaps, a frightened girl....

I would take you by the hand, walk you through the hallways of the playhouse, the corridors, the lights, the sounds, the costumes, the music, all slowly receding to a small dark corner where only the voices of the crowds can be heard. Pinning you against the wall, caressing your cheek with the back of my left hand, right hand pressed on the wall and your hair, you cannot escape me, coming closer to you I would say...

Hahaha.

Stalk you later, Poison Girl.

Assuming this was someone you've been together with for some time, daytrips out of town are great.  I love driving to the mountains in northern Arizona and enjoying the different climate and cooler weather with someone I truly care about...

Right on, FF.  You could do Sedona (which is absolutely beautiful), have lunch at Shugrue's Hillside Grill, pick from a variety of places to explore nearby (Jerome, Montezuma's Castle, Oak Creek Canyon) and then have a romantic dinner at the Pointe Tapatio Cliffs back in Phoenix, or if you wanted to make it an overnighter, El Tovar at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon... :)

I guess when you get down to brass tacks (btw why are they brass??) the perfect date is a date that ends with you wanting another with that person.  ;)

Heck yeah!  I haven't even been on my "date" with Tarzan Boy yet & I am already anxious for the next one!  ;D

Quoting:
I can't be creative with this subject !

If she wanted to go out with me after the first date, then whatever happened qualifies under the heading of perfect !

Aw, come now, Luke. If you had been friends with this person for a long time... or have been stalking them 8) I am more than positive you would know exactly where to go and what to do. You're not sharing your secrets and fantasies haha-ha, but that is okay. It's the quiet ones they have to watch out for ;) They're thinking things all the time...

Quoting:
I think the first date is like a stepping stone.  You have to be able to engage her in conversation and activity, to pique her interest and gain her trust.  The first date is the information-gathering session, not the get-her-in-bed session.  If you're lucky, you should be able to gather enough from her personality that you will know how to sweep her off her feet on date #2.  This, of course, requires a lot of attention to detail.  

Once you gain her trust though, it's a good idea not to let it go ;)

And the bonus is that if you have put in this much effort on the first date, future dates will reward you immeasurably ;)

I couldn't have put this any better.  :) Thoughtful answer, Rice!

Quoting:
I agree with Rice on this...Mini Golf is a great idea for a first date.  Along with dinner at maybe Dennys.  Comfortable and casual.

Sorry to put politics into this, but Denny's?  I went there once, got seated ahead of three other parties, and they ALL got there food before anyone even came for our order.  They were all white.  It was the end of the summer, and I was very dark.  Sorry, but what's up with that?  Don't do Denny's any more.
