1. Putt-putt golf and then browsing through a local chocolatier shop.

2. Going to a carnival or state fair. You can win her a stuffed toy!

3. Playing pool and darts at a bar and eating burgers.

4. Going bowling and getting pizza

5. Playing frisbee at the park and having a bottle of wine on a blanket on the grass

6. Playing a two person board game or cards and eating wings at a public clubhouse

7. Cooking a meal together to give away at a nursing home or shelter. (if this works out, suggest using her place so she feels safer) (a girl loves a humanitarian man who knows how to cook!)

8. Grabbing a coffee and browsing through the humor section of a bookstore. Find a spot on the floor and read jokes together. (Another great date book is Would You Rather.)

9. Picking up some healthful snacks at a specialty health food store and going to a petting zoo and feeding the animals. Bring the snacks for the two of you. Don’t forget hand sanitizer!

10. Rollerblading through a park and getting ice cream.

11. Going to a shooting range and then grabbing some tacos on the way home.

12. Walking through your town’s downtown cobblestone paved mainstreet and checking out local shops.

13. Going on a bike tour of your city and grabbing some sandwiches after.

14. Any local festival that your city sponsors that is outdoors and has music, food and/or games- (Wine festival, Greek festival, Strawberry festival, Art festival, Fall Festival)

15. Go to an arcade, order some burgers, and be a kid again!

I've done almost all of these and always had a great time! My personal favorite is number 8.

I think the movies its always a good plan for the first dates, its a nice place where theres not alot of talking involved and a little more physical enviroment.

I'm actually against the movies or places where there isn't much talking. The whole point of the first date is to see if they are interesting enough for a second date...you can't do that if you can't get a dose of their personality.

On a first date I would suggest somewhere that has a lot of people around like a restaurant or theme park.

Do something that lets you talk, without being so quiet as to be "romantic" when you're not really sure about that part yet.

If you like being outdoors, picnics at nice pubic parks are a good bet. It's not so quiet as to be uncomfortable, but it's not so loud that you'd have to shout to talk. The whole point is getting to know each other a bit to see if you want to take things further, right?

Outdoor festivals can be great for this, too. But you'll want to pick one that isn't horribly loud or crowded, unless you can retreat to a coffeehouse or ice cream shop later, so you can talk. My first "date" with my husband was to an outdoor festival--large festival, small town. So the center of it was loud, but a few blocks away it was more quiet and we could just talk. Later we went to another town to an ice cream shop.

Recently I watched an old episode of Bones in which Dr. Hodgins took party girl/artist Angela on the most unsophisticated date: he took her to a park, at night, to play on the swings. It was exactly what she needed to be real. I've done this in real life, too. It's fun and keeps you from trying to impress each other.
