Hello. I am from Philadelphia. Can some of you please give me some ideas for a first date? This person may be coming here from a distance, probably a 1 1/2 to 2 hour drive. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Kate

  1. If you have a dog, maybe go dog walking & coffee.
  2. Make dinner
  3. Go see Tarantino's new gory war movie
  4. Bunch at neat cafe
  5. Maybe go to the gym if you've and unused guest past lying about.
  6. Take em to see The Merchant of Venice at intimate theatre
  7. ...
The above examples went through my decision making matrix this week. Oh, I ruled them all out (especially point 3) for one reason or another, except point 6.


Oh, I once tried sending a single dance performace ticket in the post. Didn't work so much, but there was a bit of prior history. I also married someone who I ask to go over study notes with (a long ago tale).

i personally like starbucks or something similar for a first date. nothing too intense. nice and neutral. low key- it seems to facilitate conversation.

Meeting up for a coffee (or a cup of tea, I'm English you know) is the best idea for a first date. Its only a couple of hours and if you hit it off- can go for a walk afterwards if the coffee shop is in an attractive location. If you don't get on then can part ways after the two hours.

Maybe not Starbucks- to commercialised- for a first meeting I prefer an independant coffee/tea shop of character and living on the Kent coast, at a seaside town or a really nice pub in the country is even better.

Dude, I hope you're kidding.
