It depends on how two individuals first meet before a viable first date is planned. If initial connections are made on-line, then meeting someone mid-day at a coffee shop or diner seems to work reasonably well for first dates. Meeting in the early evening at a restaurant is ok too, especially it it's someplace where there is live music and even dancing.
Walking in the park with someone new may work fine but probably not as well as sitting across the table from them and having direct eye contact while conversing---and this goes for meeting someone at fairs or such events as well, and for the same reason, lack of enough vis a vi contact. Scheduling first dates at high-end restaurants or planning a candle lit dinner with someone you hardly know might be counter productive for first date situations. However, anything that both parties are totally comfortable with may end up leading to successful meetings.
All said, my preference for first dates is having a cup of java (or whatever) and a good honest Q & A session.

Meet anywhere it is quiet so we can have a real conversation. Open to dinner, lunch or sitting somewhere to talk. Don’t think I’m trying to be cheap, she could pick anywhere she desires

Either coffee or lunch in a quiet restaurant would be conducive to getting to know each other. Somewhere special as it will be our first date. (I’m a hopeless romantic!)

Just coffee would be fine at first, then lunch. Conversation, lots of sharing, I believe in chemistry.

Nice but not fancy restaurant. I never expect to break the bank just to eat a hamburger.
It’s just a matter of getting acquainted. I’m not out to try to take some man to the cleaners. I do expect him to pay for the first date. So, if the first date isn’t great, I don’t want to make him think he has to be extravagant and then don’t like me or I don’t like him or just didn’t work.

Mostly, I would like to hear what my companion would like to do on a first date that would make him feel comfortable. We could discuss our options. Here in Palm Springs we have so much to do... perhaps a glass or two of wine, and appetizers on an outdoor terrace, then off to an art show or movie.

Meeting over a cup of coffee and getting to know one another. Looking for companionship with the possibility of the relationship turning into something deeper. I would really like someone to go to movies, dinner or travel with.

It would be nice to eat at a good restaurant on a first date. We would be able to get to know each other. Discuss our interests and values. I'm sure there would not be much quiet time. I can talk, but I would prefer to listen.

Dates are for geting acquainted, therefore most should be quiet enough for conversation. At some point I would like to meet your friends and family.
