FIRST DATE IDEAS FROM MEMBERS

A meet and greet to see if there's interest and or a spark. share our expectations, history, hopes for a relationship as equal partners. Continue talking/ meeting to establish the type of potential relationship we may have together. first getting to know each other. deciding if we have common grounds and interest to move into a relationship or just buddies to do things together.

Bowling, billiards, jazz venue, ax throwing. I prefer the first date to be something very casual. An activity where we can laugh, move about and have a great time while we get to know each other a little better.

I will always bring flowers or something beautiful the date for the woman. othing to serious maybe quick coffee some good convo ...to see if we have any kind of chemistry...=}

a picnic in the park, then a walk next to the lake, then take a slow boat ride with the stars in the sky and a moon reflecting off the water. Then walk to a coffee shop to have coffee and talk.

I like a walk in the park, a bike ride and fishing. A meetup at a coffee shop or the local tavern. Simplicity works.

Very simple low expectations agree on a place to meet in a surprised we connect and talk for hours. Can't wait to meet her again.

No pressure and open to sharing commonalities. I can cover many topics so I enjoy a good conversation. I like optimism and enjoy positive energy.

coffee and chat at a local cafe is usually a great way to start.. but could be talked into a pub meet for a beer/wine..

Maybe meet at a park or for a coffee.Somewhere close by. Or whatever would be convenient between the 2 of us as far as a first meeting place.

A movie, the theater, the Zoo, fun and adventurous activities, comedy, coffee, brunch. walking, biking, beach

a coffee somewhere nice outdoors or a quiet drink/chat in the evening. however I do love a pub quiz.

Meet up for coffee (or ice cream). Maybe walk and window shop Lake Geneva. Go for a drive, make up our own lyrics for the songs we don't know

A long walk to quietly chat and find out about our likes and dislikes, followed by a meal and if it's all going well, a movie or theatre. Just to relax and enjoy.

Brunch lite walk. Maybe a move, art, poet theme. Something where we can share our thoughts. Optimisticly.

Drinks and appetizers while listening to live music, or shooting pool at Dave and Busters or like, no smoky rooms please, Dancing at fun bar with great music.

I love the idea of a first date that feels easy, spontaneous, and full of small moments that help us get to know each other without pressure. Something daytime, lighthearted, and a little adventurous — the kind of date where we can move around, explore, talk, laugh, and just enjoy each other’s energy. Maybe we start with a walk through a farmers’ market or a street fair, wandering past stalls, trying little samples, and stopping whenever something catches our curiosity. I like dates where we can point things out to each other, share opinions, and let the conversation flow naturally. From there, we could grab iced coffee or fresh juice and stroll through a nearby park or a quiet neighborhood with interesting shops. I enjoy the mix of movement and conversation — it brings out a relaxed vibe and keeps everything fun. If we’re in the mood for something playful, we could pop into a bookstore, challenge each other to pick a random page-turner, or browse through quirky gift shops and laugh at the odd things we discover. Even a quick round of mini-golf, a plant shop visit, or exploring a local art wall could add a memorable moment. I’m a fan of dates that aren’t overly planned but still thoughtful — where we can follow the mood and enjoy whatever the day gives us. What matters most to me is the connection: easy conversation, shared smiles, and the comfort of being around someone genuine. A daytime date with small adventures sprinkled in feels like the perfect way to see whether we click, have chemistry, and want to explore something deeper together.

Just a site seeing, lunch a local restaurant, sports event attendance, musical concert, hiking and a candlelight diner

How about a picnic lunch or dinner, so that we can get to know each other, followed by a pleasant walk at the beach. Then I would take you back to your place for more conversation.

cozy tea or coffee spot with soft lighting Nothing loud or busy. Somewhere I can sit, relax, and let conversation come.

I am up for just about anything along as it does not involve bees or onions! Coffee, tea or an expresso if you please!
