FIRST DATE IDEAS FROM MEMBERS

Something casual that allows for conversation and getting to know you.

I would like to meet for lunch just something casual to see if we have things in common and talk. Nothing much more then that.

For the first date I would love a lite lunch and then a walk on the beach, somewhere quiet where we can talk and get to know eachother.

Doesn't matter what or where we go, learning about each other is the most important thing to me

On a first date I like to meet at a place where tow people can have a drink, relax and can get to know one another. although I am not a bowler :) I have been on a first date where we went bowling and had very had a nice time with a lot of laughs.

gettin to no one another, maybe dinner and a movie

I’m clueless about dating. I haven't dated for 20 years, so I don't want to embarrass myself by suggesting we go to some “unique, creative, exotic, romantic” place for a first date. At the same time, it should be fun and comfortable, and encourage us to express ourselves. I don’t mean talking about ourselves. Actually, you can do most of the talking, and I’ll do most of the listening. That will be a true male/female role reversal (just kidding). My fantasy first date would be that I pull over to help you fix a flat on Rt. 101 just north of Santa Barbara. Sparks fly. We then head up to the Central Coast of California for a free-for-all weekend. It’s beautiful most of the year, and one can do anything our minds and bodies are still capable of (walk, sample wine, horseback ride, dine at the best Mexican restaurant anywhere, or watch the planes take off at the Spirit of San Luis restaurant in San Luis Obispo. (And yes, one can even take the proverbial walk on a lonely beach at Morro Bay). OR, you could pull over and help me change a flat. Notice, there was no mention of sex. That’s a different fantasy. OK, fantasy over. But, the fantasy date above is a break from a standard routine date. By the end of the day, we discover many of the other person’s passions, strengths, and weaknesses. The ideal date. At first, I thought it was foolish that S/Match requires a date category. But since it is necessary, I started thinking about what I want from a date. A lot of the choices may be fun (except for the "shopping" and "errand dating"), but something like a walk through the Central Park Zoo provides an opportunity to talk, walk, (show character and toughness if its cold and the cabs are scarce), discover some important things about each other, as well as ourselves, AND do a little shopping.

Meeting at the City Plaza in Chico then walking around. Dinner and a glass of white wine on the next date or kayaking at Paradise Lake.

My perfect first date would be meeting for dinner and conversation.

Dinner or lunch and take a walk. Be somewhere where we could talk and get better acquainted.
