First date ideas?

[confusedaboutlife]

Met up with a girl off an internet dating site the other day. She is nice.

Not sure what she thinks of me.

But if she's interested then where can I take her?

Arranged to meet her in a bar for the first date. I bought the drinks and lunch.

Thinking I should be original and do something different instead of the pub.

Don't want to do bowling or cinema!!!

But bands, theatre (I'm nowhere near a regular, I don't think she is either), comedy (or is that a bit cliched?)

Thoughts?

[lucifer devil]

have you asked her what she wants to do?

or what does she like doing?

I went on a kinda first date last week and we went to the gym. Nothing like having a bit of fun and loosing weight at the same time

i'd never go on a first date to the gym i end up getting all red in the face and sweaty!

haha i know what you mean but was actually quite funny. I was really hot and sweaty but apparently he liked it coz it was a sign of things to come, can't think what he meant tho...

Indeedy. Was out with him Saturday night and off to the gym again tomorrow I'm just ignoring the fact that he is my supervisor at work at the moment and is 30!

does he have any stray children?

haha, not that he's admitting to at the moment! He's probably more imature than me though so it's all good for the moment

I'd love to be taken to the theatre or a concert, or an art exhibition for example. Call me a pedant or boring or whatever, but for me an ideal casual date would be to go see a cool photo exhibition, and then head off for coffee if it's a cold and rainy day, or to have some drinks on a little table beside a river if it's sunny.

Doesn't sound boring to me, sounds perfect!

Otherwise... bingo? (I'm obsessed )

yes bingo!! i love it!
i was taking on a date to the bingo hall a few years back...bloody expensive though.
id give her a call and ask her what she fancies, if she says 'i dont mind, you choose' you have carte blanche to do whatever.

ETA:for my second date with my current fella, we went to Chester Zoo...quite cool even if i do say so myself!

if she likes that sort of thing (make sure she's not ethically against zoos or something ) then something like the zoo would be a great date. you have something to talk about with all that you are seeing there, but also loads of time to chat and get to know each other as you walk around. there is an end to it too, so that when u get to the end of the zoo it is easy to make an exit if the date is not good or to suggest going to grab lunch or a coffee if its going well and you get to show your 'caring' side as you see the cute little animals
