FIRST DATE IDEAS FROM MEMBERS

Lunch at a nice place to get to know each other. There are several in our small town and perhaps a walk around our quaint town or sitting in the park.

Hmm. I tend to be more on the practical side of things. Maybe some kind of coffee house would make a good first date. Somewhere not too loud, where we could sit and chat a bit, enjoying each other's company.

Meet for coffee to see if we are a match.talk and see if we click. Looking for nice friendly woman to enjoy life.travel and have fun. Must be loyal

For a first meeting, I enjoy meeting someone at a quiet coffee shop and/or restaurant for good conversation and sharing about ourselves. For a first official date, a nice dinner, walk at the beach and seafood or visit a museum for the day.

It would be nice to have a quiet lunch where we can start getting to know each other in depth learning what we each like and dislike.

Lunch at a very nice local restaurant near where I live in Hemet California that served a variety of food.

Meeting at a local event in Clayton County for a meet and greet. Get to know each other and laugh a lot.

Nice local restaurant. Willing to meet in Dallas if absolutely necessary. Nothing fancy, expensive or loud so we can talk & get to know each other.

This depends on both people so I would just like it to be casual and comfortable, easy to get acquainted. Somewhere we would both enjoy.

I prefer to meet the first time at a public coffee shop such as a Starbucks or similar establishment..

Any quiet setting that we could get to know more about each other. That could be a restaurant or a park. And... hopefully no one has any time constraints.

A long conversation and become highly caffinated at a quiet cafe. We take a stroll aroud the area and continue talking. You walk me to my car and talk about continuing this or not.

I wouldn't mind meeting somebody at our local beach bars. Have a drink try to find a quiet place and just talk for starters

Meet at or near a park. Something healthy at a healthfood restaurant/café. A nice walk in the park enjoying the sun and sounds.

Coffee date, no pressure. Get to know you. We can always criticize the weather around here! Lol Let me know what you want to talk about

First date probably a lunch to get to know each other. Maybe a museum or park afterwards to continue the conversation. Hopefully a second date arranged.

Coffee or a glass of wine Somewhere quiet. Just enough time to see if there is chemistry. Doesn't necessarily have to be romantic. Easy conversation.

What sounds good to me is to meet at a beautiful park, each bring some food to share, sit at a picnic table or on the grass, watch families and dog walkers, as we enjoy lunch and one another’s company, listening, feeling into what’s most alive to share.

if after getting to know each other "friends first", we decide to start dating, that is, being exlcusive with each other, I'd like to take my lady out for dinner and dancing. I really like to dance. I believe that partner dancing is a picture of a healthy relationship between a man and his wife . The man leads his lady, without being a tyrant or a bully. The man expresses his masculinity by providing both structure and authority . He is in charge, he decides what steps to do and for how long. So he leads his lady while paying 100% of his attention to her alone . He communicates to his lady what he wants both of them to do by the way he moves his body as he dances with her and for her alone. And his lady expresses her femininity by responding to his lead and dancing with him and for him alone. As a result, they are dancing in sync with each other, moving togther as a unit and so have pleasure together.  I also believe that a woman expresses her femininity and her desire to attract the man that she wants by solo dancing for him. It is like she is saying to him non verbally, "Look at all my femininity, the way I move my body ... I want to be with you, and you can have me now, but I want you to take the initiave" . When my wife and I were dating, she put on some music in my living room and danced solo for me ... it is obvious she put a lot of work into preparing that. And I asked her later after we were married, "That was a mating dance, wasn't it ?" And she said it was. Likewise, Edith Tolkien, wife of "Lord of the Rings"author J.R.R.Tolkien, danced for him.

Coffee and talk, someplace quiet. Maybe a park or museum. Enough time to get to know each other better
