What's your idea of a good first date?

Obvious, again.

Taking her to a sporting event is one thing. Walking around a beautiful park is another, as is showing her a comedy club.

A connection.

Anything else is a waste of time - it can wait until further down the track!

At a human sexuality class? Teehee!!

Meeting some where for a bite and chit chat. Maybe a walk along well lit streets if there are other people out and about. He won't 'take' me anywhere as I don't ride with people I don't know except cab drivers.

I don't like putting on a show, so I prefer my potential partners to see me how I really am.

Going to a nice pub (not too busy, but not too quiet either) and getting mildly sozzled together while talking crap about anything and everything. Alcohol tends to 'loosen me up', so I become more sociable (the problem is trying to reach that happy level and stay there, without getting shitfaced -- unless my date is getting shitfaced too!).

But if it were someone I were really trying to impress (i.e., someone I considered a bit 'out of my league'), then a film or a play, with dinner at a restaurant afterwards (with a pre-arrangement to split the bill: I'm not a chauvinist, nor am I rich). Then, if the night is still young enough, and my date is behaving positively and not obviously wanting to go home, then it's off to the pub!

I'm a great believer in alcohol as a leveller in NT/AS relationships in general.

When I feel a connection with someone.

I would love to meet a guy that´s a bit nerdy and openminded like me.

I'm nerdy and open minded but I'm old enough to be your dad LOL

My perfect first date was with my ex-wife to be. I knew that she had class Tuesday and Thursday that ended at 7. I decided that the next time I ran into her on campus I would suggest that we go out to eat or something after her class. This worked and I said I would wait in my office. I picked the restaurant without asking her opinion and picked neither too elegant (I not want to appear that I wa trying to impress her) nor too cheap. When we got there I decided to sit at the bar and not a table ( a humble man not a comemie***). It just happen that we were served by another woman I knew and had considered asking out but had not done so. With a relaxed smile I introduced them to each other. We conversed lightly mixing get to know you conversation with talking about our day and a little humor. When the bill came I rapidly snatched it so she couldn't see it while giving her a sly smile. We enjoyed each others company and were relaxed, just letting things flow. I cannot imagine a better first date.

Someplace simple and inexpensive where we can hear each other talk.

Walking around a park sounds nice, but the other two sound too uneven to me. One person is taking the other somewhere, or showing them something. So it's likely that one is going to be much more within their comfort zone than the other. I like dates where both people are trying something new or going somewhere they have both been before...that sort of thing. When I'm organising a first date and they say something like "come to this great restaurant I know", it always makes me feel on edge because I know they have the advantage of familiarity and comfort, while I'm trying to get used to both a new person and a new place/activity.

I like to keep the first date simple and meet up for a drink. Good becomes great if we are getting along well enough to move on to another impromptu activity together (e.g. movie, walk...)

I cook supper and she cooks breakfast.

Best first date I ever had was the last first date I was on.

Pizza, beer, and then sex.

It's been a few years since then, though. *sigh*

never had a first date, but simply being together sounds good to me...even if we're just watching TV together.

art gallery and talking about what pics you like and what you think is silly to each other.

one that does not yield a lifeless carcass upon it's demise.

A walk on the beach and a lot of jokes and smiling.
It used to be going to pet kittens at the Humane Society ten years ago LOL.
Over the years,going bodysurfing (until I nearly got drowned in a riptide and that man didn't help ),going hiking,making pottery,dancing,gardening and going to farmer's markets.Lots of experience.
