FIRST DATE IDEAS FROM MEMBERS

Meet for coffee or lunch to get acquainted..

Out to dinner and conversation

I don't ever ask for perfect. So I suggest we communicate about our ideas and hopefully can conclude a place to meet about.

Have a conversation at quiet nice restaurant.

meeting in a restaurant, having lunch or dinner, so that we could talk and get to know one another

I LIKE QUIET, HAPPY, DATES....MUSIC, ME COOKING, NICE WINE, GREAT MUSIC....AND GETTING TO KNOW EACH OTHER

I think our first date should be simple but fun.Maybe a museum, art show or city attraction can help us focus the date and create something we can talk about and enjoy together.

An early coffee rendezvous to have a chance to get to know each other in a relaxed atmosphere, then if things go well, maybe on to a casual dinner, where we can really talk and have fun, while enjoying a fantastic meal. Then from that point, as the evening progresses, we'll just wing it; being as spontaneous as we want to be.

Would be boring if perfect.

I think it would be fun to remove my name from this dating site but I am unable to figure out how to do that.

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.

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

Having dinner or just coffee, or Ice tea,, quite time to get to know each other and go from there

i dont have 1, i just want to be romanced

Mall walk in the morning and have coffee or drinks at happy hour

I would like to meet for a drink or coffee to see if there is any chemistry between us and hopefully plan for our second date......

First dates are always a little nerve racking to me. Guess it's meeting someone you do not know for te first time. Once you meet usually goes fine. Prefer Coffee at a local spot or open to suggestions.

Coffee,tea,or martini in a public place,a little talk.

My for coffee or lunch to see if there is any compatibility, and go on from there

I'm old fashioned. My idea of a perfect date would be: flowers, dinner at a fancy restaurant, and good conversation.
