Seems a lot of guys would like to know what to do for a date.
All girls are different, but I think we can agree on places that should not be visited for a date.
MacDonalds is one such place.
This happened to a friend of mine, she was not impressed and asked him to take her home.
Any other suggestions?

Dinner with parents before the third date.<br />
1) Awkward<br />
2) Too fast<br />
Unless the girl has told you she has wanted to do that, it will just be an uncomfortable experience. |

I second both those and raise you a family get together. You know the drill, a bunch of family comes in to town and plans a family reunion(etc.), hey why not invite my sweetheart? Terrible idea. Im sure you can imagine why.<br />
<br />
..oh and chucky fucking cheese...I kid you not, its happened before. 6th grade. |

My perfect idea for a date would be first go to some interesting place in town like a museum or something where you can walk around and find loads to discover and talk about and have a little laugh.<br><br>
Then after that go to some fancy restaurant for lunch/dinner (it needs to be exotic, not the chipper off the street!). Where the two of ye can spend quality time getting to know each other.<br><br>
<br><br>
I think going to a movie or something like that for a date would be a little pointless cuz you'ld hardly get to speak to each other.<br><br>
Another place i wouldn't go would be where there's a high probably of bumping into friends. Like outside your school or local mall or something.<br><br>
<br><br>
But thats just me... |

Scruffy days taking your lady down to the chippy are best left when you've been together a while and you're comfortable just doing something 'average', otherwise days out places are nice, maybe to see a film.<br />
<br />
I wouldn't say a restaurant too soon, not one that's too fancy anyway, but maybe that's just me. |

Yeah, I'd be overwhelmed with a fancy restaurant on the first date, especially if I didnt know the guy too well. |

So a coffee place would be more ideal then... Probably something like Starbucks... More people around, less intimate n she could feel more comfortable... |

Coffee would be a better first date than a concert unless you met her through music or know she'll definitely enjoy the band(s). IMO, concerts are more of a place to meet people. I wouldnt want go to one for the first fews dates unless I already knew the person well or both my date and I adored the band. |

The perfect date would be at a place that is comfortable for the both of you, where you both would have something in common. Make it a place that is interesting, so you could discuss your surroundings and lead into topics, and not feel so awkward having nothing to talk about. <br />
Learn one positive interest that both of you share, then take her/him on a date that has some focus on that interest. If absolutely everything goes wrong with the two of you, at least you both enjoyed the place of the date. :X Lets just hope that scenario doesn't happen...<br />
<br />
I say "place" because this is different for everyone. You cannot define Starbucks or the movie theater as the best date, because everyone has different tastes. That is why I strongly recommend a place that you BOTH can relate to, it will mean more that you put some thought into it, rather than just choosing a spot because it is considered romantic.<br />
...just an idea<br />

About the McDonalds thing, I would never take a date there, because I don't eat fast food and if it's someone I like/dating/care about I wouldn't want them eating junk either, that's neither here nor there.<br><br>
<br><br>
Anyways I was always like "lets go somehwere fancy, say McDonalds?" and get a big laugh<br><br>
but then I would have the balls to actually carry through with it, and if you can do that, girls are impressed. I would never have a serious tone, but I would usually walk in there and then joke around and then just go somewhere else.<br><br><br>
I don't eat out though, so I learned to cook <br><br>Also, I haven't been on a date in so long, I don't fucking know, lol. I think movies are cliche and are just for sucking face. I did ask one girl to come to a friends house and watch films/play pool, you could assume it wasn't a very intimate setting, but we changed that <br>The last girl I really liked, and still like for a matter of fact, we went camping the same day we met, and it was just so magical and spiritual, I've never exeperienced to people as one before as much as than <br><br>I mainly go for fun, social settings where I'm the center of the group<br> |

^ Aw <3<br />
<br />
And McDonald's isn't that bad if it's just a silly first date and you want to grab a bite to eat. It depends on the girl, you know? If you're hanging out already and you need a quick bite and ask her where she'd like to go, and she says McDonald's, don;t shy away just because we sais so  |

Ah don't do that! If it's a first date or so, you wouldn't even come in contact with her through over half of it. Bad idea for the first couple dates. |

That's great.
Also a museum, particularly a science one with hands-on stuff would be perfect since you can have intellectual conversations, learn new things, and have fun playing around with whatever's there.
Another place is a bowling alley. It's casual and public but provides enough privacy in your own alley for getting comfortable with each other. This is also great if it's her first time since you can have fun teaching and teasing her. Also, they tend to have food bars there as well. You can go ahead and buy a pizza for the two of you while you play.
Parks are also good imo. You can take a blanket and some sandwiches and snacks. It's outdoors so it doesn't feel intimidating, yet it gives you a lot of private room for talking.
My advice is to usually try and go somewhere where you'll both be physically active and food is accessible. This way you won't feel like you have to fill up every silent moment with conversations. Plus, playing games helps you two feel at ease with each other and allows u to become comfortable with each other fast. |

The best date I've ever been on was to a Jazz club. Was an amazing night, absolutely perfect. Very intimate, romantic, and just damn cool at the same time. At the start of the night we were going as friends but by the end we were a lot closer!
Sadly though, it didn't work out in the end. Oh well, her loss eh!
I'm courting a girl now, she's pretty awesome. We've been to Starbucks, around town, on Brighton Pier, we were going to go to the Sealife centre but the Queue was ridiculous!
She also came to mine on the second date. I wouldn't have asked her but she's quite confident and was the one who suggested it so, that was cool (watching a film and snuggling, nothing more  ).
I wanted to take her on a boat trip (just a little cruise along Brighton seafront) but she doesn't like boats . Still, I'm going to save that idea for the future  .
It may seem like I was just randomly talking about my love life but, there must be about 4/5 different, good ideas on places to go with a girl. The key is to be relaxed and have fun. If you have a problem thinking of places, just scan the internet for interesting stuff to do in your area!
Anyways, hope I helped! x |
