where do you go, what do you do? He's had some disasters and wants to go to a movie but movies for me come a little later on. Any fun ideas?

The beach, playing pool, riding go-carts, hitting golf balls, going out for an unusual type of food, washing my car... ; )

Some folks may chime-in and say, "Grab coffee because it's quick if you don't hit it off," ...which is true. However, some other possibilities could be:

The zoo
Miniature golf
Bowling
An art musem or gallery
...or grab a local paper and see what's free in your area.

Have fun!

Do you have any hobbies or interests in common? I like to have first meetings that take advantage of a shared interest. That way, you are doing something you enjoy, without the pressure of staring at each other across a table and keeping up a conversation.

I like to go to Camden market because it's a funky place with lots to see, or boating in Hyde park, wandering along the Thames Embankment and maybe popping in to a gallery or something if the mood strikes us.
I'm a bit weird, i don't like first dates that are just sitting somewhere and batting questions back and forth, i prefer to do something fun and let the Q&A sort itself out in its own time. Insights into the other persons life and personality are all very well, but for me, if we can't have fun together then i'll probably get bored before finding out enough to really get interested.

I am forced to agree with you AsianFusian. The malls are an ideal place to meet for many reasons.

Coffee and chat, or window shopping, movies in lots of malls if you change your mind. Most malls have lots of benches to sit and talk, with people everywhere, so it covers that aspect as well.

I am a dinner kind of guy and sometimes a dinner and movie guy. The reason I choose dinner is it gives me a good chance to talk and get to know her. The movie is just a bonus, even better when it is a movie that we both have been waiting to see.

Have you ever seen the Karate Kid? Now that was a fun first date! I personally prefer something that is interactive for both of us. Even for a first time meeting sitting across (or next) to one another over coffee, drinks or dinner and trying to drum up a few topics to discuss is tough. Stand out from the rest, try something different.
