What would you do on an ideal first date?

  • Wild passionate sex? Er, movies are not good, because you don't really get to know the person. The best date I ever had, we went to a coffee shop and talked and talked and did weird things. That's the kind of date you remember.

  • Screw.

  • First response, is a first date I don't get a huge zit before. Second and more serious response would go along the lines of the ever generic dinner and dancing. It may seem droll to some, but when you know absolutely no men that actually want to dance in private, let alone public, it becomes an honest fantasy.

  • dinner and a movie

  • Umm..that totally depends on the person I'm dating! Their personality, etc...but, I think movies & dinner are always good.Or long walks on the beach. :) Heh heh.. I think my ideal 1st date would prolly take place somewhere exciting & romantic, i.e. Paris, Vienna -oh, Vienna just reminded me of my truly ideal date. The movie "Before Sunrise" - that is, spending an entire night just exploring some amazing town/city, walking around with someone I find fascinating and sharing our thoughts/dreams/life experiences, while coming across interesting local characters and trying new things. And it'd be an added bonus if the guy was Ethan Hawke. :)

  • Well, my first date (and I mean first EVER) was darned ideal. Great dinner, good movie, etc. Of course, for a date to be truly ideal, there would have to be a Def Leppard concert in there somewhere...

  • A trip to a sporting event or similar type of entertainment, during which conversation is possible but not absolutely required and formal dress is not necessary.

  • Go to dinner at The Outback,then go dancing somewhere that played real rock!!!

  • Proably show up at her house, with a flower. Go out for dinner and maybe to a movie. If theres time go hang out at a park. I dunno really. Haven't ever gone on a date. I know...I'm a loser.

  • Okay, it would start late afternoon and we'd get in a car and drive out to a field with a hill covered in nice grass and no cow dung. Then we'd walk to the top of the hill, share a tub of ice-cream and then roll down the hill till we felt sick. Then because we wouldn't be able to move we'd lie in the grass and watch the sky turn black.

  • First go to a local coffie shop. Early in the afternoon. Go to a fancy restraunt, then take a walk along the lake.

  • Dance. Do a lot of dancing. And find out her middle name before the end of the evening.

  • Something casual, probably. A nice, neutral setting, with other people, where you can just talk and get to know each other. I guess I'm kind of old fashioned in that respect. I don't think romance and fireworks has to happen on the first date. Dinner and a movie is fine. Or a movie and dinner. That way, you can talk over dinner, but if you really are hard pressed for conversation, you always have the movie to talk about--somekind of shared experience.

  • I would go to a restaurant to eat dinner. And my date and I would be so enraptured by each other's presence that it would take like an hour just for us to actually put our order in. And then whatever we decide over dinner to go do, we go and do it. Whether that is walking around if it's a nice evening or watching the trilogy for the billionth time, it wouldn't matter because in your mind all you care about is being near this person.

  • An art show or a concert or a really good movie.

  • I would take my lady to a Star Trek convention and them maybe rent a Walt Disney film and watch it with my mom. Then i would take her upstairs and... show her my Star Ship Enterprise.

  • Uh... Not having a whole lot of experience, interest, or imagination in the subject, I'd have to say either seeing a really REALLY excellent movie and then having really excellent pizza, preferrably with lots of intelligent, interesting conversation (on the side, not actually on the pizza), or else going out and TP'ing a professor's house or paper macheing his/her car. I think I honestly prefer the solitary life at this point, though.

  • sex

  • I've gotta go with naked full-body painting. (I mean painting with the bodies, not painting the bodies themselves -- don't look at me like that!)

  • Is there an actual "ideal" 1st date? I mean, really some things you think you'll hate, you'll actualy LIKE and if you have a "perfect" 1st date all planned out, if it actually happens and something goes wrong it would be such a letdown that it would be ideal anymore. So just let what happens happen and everyone will be a lot happier... or something like that...

  • Go out for a movie, then coffee.

  • a) What's a date? b) In theory, go out to a nice restaurant (not too inexpensive) to get to know each other beyond a raw physical level. End the evening with a soft kiss on her cheek. Whether you both want to go further or not.

    my answer is

    I think a visit to a small town carnival would be ideal. A happy enough place that both people are liely to have a good time, and enough random silliness to relax the people. An elemant of romance in the ferris wheel, but overall a fairly non-intimidating scenario.
