FIRST DATE IDEAS FROM MEMBERS

I love Mexican... La Parrilla perhaps...good food...nice atmosphere... Good service...should be a nice restaurant to chat...

Let’s go on a date and see how things go from there. I don’t need big things. I just need someone that loves me and I love back. See where it goes there.

Meet for coffee or lunch and see where things go from there. It really should be a no or low pressure situation where you can get to know the person without it feeling like a formal interview.

Coffee, beverage of your choice, light medium or full meal, could be outside, live band and not general admission if a concert

My first date could be a walk in a park, a hike, a picnic or an outside small burger joint where we can sit outside and talk about it lol, of course if it’s winter, small cafés are always fun

Go to a park and walk, talk, find a bench to enjoy the out doors, continue communication then have a coffee/drink and lite lunch. See if there is spark!! Set next date if mutually agreed..

If I were granted the privilege of planning an ideal first date, I wouldn't spend a king's ransom trying to impress you with chandeliers and linen napkins. I'd wager that two sensible people, accompanied by a pair of opinionated dogs, could discover more truth about one another in an afternoon than a dozen expensive dinners could ever reveal. We would begin with a leisurely stroll through Christopher Columbus Park, where the harbor breeze has a peculiar talent for carrying away the unnecessary importance people sometimes bring to first meetings. The dogs, wiser than most philosophers, would insist upon introducing themselves to every squirrel, pigeon, and passing child before permitting us to discuss the truly important questions of life. From there we might wander toward Boston Harborwalk, where the sea reminds us that every great voyage begins with the simple courage to take the next step. We'd stop often—not because we were in any hurry to reach somewhere else, but because the finest conversations are interrupted by sailboats, sunsets, curious old buildings, and dogs who suddenly become convinced they've detected history hiding behind a lamppost. Or perhaps we'd lose ourselves beneath the old trees of Boston Common, where generations of Bostonians have argued, courted, celebrated, and occasionally made glorious fools of themselves. It is comforting to know that one need not be extraordinary to enjoy an extraordinary afternoon. There would be no rehearsed speeches, no interviews disguised as romance, and no tiresome competition to discover who has accumulated the greater collection of accomplishments. I'd rather learn what makes you laugh, what books have kept you company, what music stirs your heart, and whether you pause to admire flowers that nobody planted for applause. The dogs, of course, would serve as impartial judges. They possess a remarkable ability to detect kindness without requiring references.

We can go out for a meal and talk to spend some time together to see if the chemistry is there. Something easy for us both with no pressure.

Brunch at a restaurant with outdoor seating, weather permitting. And then perhaps a walk in a park or on a beach

Meet and keep the conversation easy going and comfortable without preconceived notions. I'm not a mind reader so keep expectations respectful and considerate. I love good food while enjoying learning about each other. I live in Jacksonville Florida

Something relaxed and casual. Time to chat but not overly focused on getting to know someone on the first outing.

Je crois que l’on peut boire 1 verre pour casser la glace et si l’ambiance est bonne ,partager 1 repas en tête à tête

Lunch then a walk . Especially on the beach. Go to a museum. Coffee and chat. We'll figure it out when we'd like to meet and where to go.

Please no meals. Lets do an activity or go somewhere where we can talk and have fun; so its not sitting and looking at eachother like an interview. Be creative!

For a first date something casual and relaxing. That way we can make it short and sweet if we are not compatible and definitely some place public but cozy

Since I gave hearing problems. I would love to go and walk in the park and just talk and get to know one anothet.

Dunkin's OR Tim Horton's in Niagara Falls OR Buffalo, NY || Dunkin's OR Tim Horton's in Niagara Falls OR Buffalo, NY

A good cup of coffee and sit for awhile and get acquainted. If there is a desire by both of us, next time, let’s go out to eat. I prefer something casual—not too stuffy—then take it from there.

Plant trees to provide shade Hike to lake, swim, swim, swim Attend filming of a sitcom I don't have first date ideas floating around in my head. A first date could be grocery shopping or visiting a children's hospital to show up for kids. It wouldn't be attending anything loud or really crowded unless we were ushering in the revolution .

My perfect date would be with someone whose company I enjoy so much that the place and activity becomes secondary.
