The truth is that none of us can really comment without knowing you and the girl.

A movie is a tad lame but may help if you or the girl are overly shy. It will give you something to talk about after over coffee/beer. Some will say that if you cant hold convo on first date then you never will but I think some people need some help to get it going.

Museum is a good idea unless she is the type not to give a shit. Which she probably isnt given you are considering going.

Dinner is a safe option but you'd want to get the restaurant right re noise, price, food type etc

I'd probably go for a walk around the markets (as suggested above) followed by coffee ... it would be a modest relaxed atmosphere and not too 'date like'. You could even kick on for lunch if it goes well. Movie/meal good for a follow up .

THIS IS GOLD and CORRECT.


I have done all this and agree totally.

Think of a date in terms of football analogy different players for different conditions.

You wouldnt play a third tall on a rainy day at the G !

Without knowing the people involved you cannot say accurately what is the best, I think the listed examples is a guide and it is up to the OP to make a decision like a Coach on what is the best approach.

Dinner and movie is safe, a bit like how the Crows used to play which is fine for a first date, IMO. :thumbsu:

A word of advice try to see a movie less than 2 hrs otherwise it can be a little awkard sitting with someone on a first date that over dinner you decided you dont want to see again, lol. So Australia the movie would not be an option neither would any of Kevin Costner's marathon epic movies.
 
I took a girl rockclimbing as a variation on the bowling idea, worked well:thumbsu:

Do people really talk about their surroundings on a first date? If you have to talk about the color of the paint on the wall than I suggest the relationship wont last.

Theres no scope for awkward silences if you choose the right restuarant. I have a particular place I go to all the time. Its loud enough to avoid silence yet quiet enough to hold a conversation.

I think a musem sends off the wrong vibe personally. Its where youd take a friend. Its making judgments about her personality aswell you shouldnt be making. For all you know atm shes a complete airhead who doesnt know what the Mona Lisa is so a museum then seems a bit dumb.

Exactly, you go to the museum if hell freezes over, seriously its a first date, go and consume some nice food then some nice drink, coffee, beer, wine, whatever, and dont be a fake try hard tosser... Talking also works well, and always always swing the conversation back onto her, ask her questions about her, her life, anything and everything to do with her... :D:D
 
THe first date that I went on with the girl I'm with now was to a Cocktail lounge on a Friday after work. Had a few cocktails, went to japanese for dinner then a Kareoke bar. Drinking at the cocktail lounge was fun, entertaining conversations came up as we were on the tipsy side, dinner was fun as we were still drunk and I guess Kareoke topped it off as we both had a whole heap of fun laughing at each other.

Conversation was easy and I guess it made it easier the ongoing times when we werent drunk because we hit it off so well on the first night

Helps that we both drink and go out a lot I guess

All in all probably one of the better and most fun date I have taken a girl on

You cant/shouldnt go on a drinking session with a girl you know nothing about. Sends off the wrong vibe

The whole pub thing is 2nd date material. Shes comfortable enough to get hammered with you and if you have run out of things to talk about by date 2 and are still abit nervous the alcohol will take the edge off

More of her idea and we both had a good time

Started out as just going out for a drink or 2 then dinner but ended up a bit more then that. Hard to do anything else when both of us caught public transport and worked in the CBD, suppose we could have gone bowling but theres not much else to do in the Perth CBD except drink and eat. We both didnt have a lot of time over the next couple of weekends so decided to do just that

My advice would be to take her to your local KFC, always works for me.

I picked up a crackwhore (Roger) and took him there, and it resulted in my first gobby, great exprience, good food.
 
The zoo is a good option. Relaxed atmosphere, plenty to talk about if the conversation wanes. You can use it as an opportunity to pretend having a sensitive side by hand feeding goats and lambs. :thumbsu:

Must be hard to work out which colour flanny to wear and to remember to brush your mullet before you go....

The blue and black flanny is a winner. :thumbsu: The mullet is mid-back at the moment but is starting to get some split ends :(

Can you give me any car tips while we are at it? A hotted up Statesman or just a regular Sport packed commie? Thanks in advance.

Like I said, nice idea, not suitable for 21 and 22 year olds.

And yet a museum is? :confused:

I work at a winery and we get heaps of young couples in, both just as tasters and to eat at our restaurant. Id say its probably not suitable for a 1st date as opposed to the age group being the factor.

Kudos for something different though.
 
This thread is classic, I hope the mods keep it open.

My gf and I were talking about our "first date" the other day, which got confusing because we didn't technically have one. We got along from the very start and did a lot of things together, hanging out etc. So it's difficult to say when it was a date, and when it was just us doing what we always do.

Funnily enough, one of the first places we went to together was the Museum of Natural History in NYC. Great place if you want to strike up an interesting conversation and appear intelligent.
