Meet her/him for dinner.

It may not break new ground in the pantheon of dating

ideas, but there are few better ways to get to know a person on a first date than
over dinner. Do it at a casual restaurant rather than a four-star establishment.
And don�t make the mistake Mark Ratner did when he brought Stacey to the German
restaurant on their first date in �Fast Times at Ridgemont High��for Gosh sakes,
bring enough money to cover the meal!

Take them to lunch. It represents less pressure on the part of both parties on the
date if the meeting is taking place in the daytime. Not only is it light out, but
lunch usually brings with it inherent time limits�a key component just in case you
two don�t hit it off and are looking for the escape hatch soon after getting
together.

Coffee or ice cream. This takes the lunch philosophy and dials it down even more.
Although, quite famously, when someone asks, �Wanna come in for coffee?� they don�t
always mean coffee, in this case, meeting over coffee or an ice cream cone implies
little pressure and more of a breather until (if) you two are able to reach a
greater comfort level with one another.

A sporting event. Get tickets to a baseball or basketball game and take your date
there. It isn�t romantic, but it�s wide open, public, fun, and you�ll have a
natural focal point of conversation (the game that you�re both watching) to fill in
the gaps in conversation that can be a first-date hazard.

Concert. If you both have similar tastes in music, whether it�s rock, hip-hop or
classical, then concert tickets might be a good point to start off your potential
relationship. Like a ballgame, you�d be meeting in a public place with lots of
people around and a common point of interest to generate conversation.

Movie. A movie ticket is a lot more expensive than it used to be, and there isn�t a
lot of opportunity for get-to-know-each-other conversation in a darkened theater,
however the movies are a reliable go-to choice for a first date. You could also
combine the movie with suggestions 1, 2 or 3. Or you could hang out at home with a
DVD or Netflix movie choice, saving the gas and the money, but upping the ante in
terms of possible first-date tension.

Picnic. Enjoy the great outdoors by packing a picnic lunch and heading to the park
to get to know each other. It�s breezy, casual and a nice chance to connect without
having to tip a waitress or concern yourself with the niceties of dining out.

The zoo. If you both like nature and wildlife, a visit to the zoo can be just as
much fun with a first date as it is with a wide-eyed child.
The mall. Another public place where you can walk around, discover common interests
and quietly make fun of the people passing you by is the mall. There�s plenty to
do, plenty to talk about and the pressure quotient is fairly low.

Be active. Take your first date bowling, roller skating, ice skating, mini-golfing
or apple picking. You�ll be doing something together, hopefully having fun, and you
both might enjoy the dynamic of a plan that involves something other than sitting
across a table or in a theater or concert hall with one another.

My dream date: a long drive. Park right by the beach and bbq. Enjoy a drink or 2
and talk for hours and hours about dreams, aliens, and how good life is with a
country music playing in the background. Watch the sunset and stargaze from the bed
of a pickup truck. Cheesy ehh?
