What to do depends on how long you and this gurl have known eachother. All gurls like going to the movies. But a nice romantic date takes a little more thought. Don't worry about doing a cliche thing. My recommendation would be a nice dinner at a moderatly fancy restraunt (you pay) and then a walk in the park or at the beach. Always bring a flower. Not necessarly a rose. It could just be something you pick out of the garden. Even a dandelion. A gurl appreciates any thought that is put into the date. Hope this helps!

Its good to know there are fellow gentlemen left in this world. I am sure as a gentleman, you already know to open all doors and pull out all chairs and offer to take her coat and rising whenever she enters, those are the basics. First of all, a good first date is all about her. I am assuming that you've talked to her a couple of times before this point and know a little about her. Find out if she likes crowds or small venues. The classic dinner and a movie is great for some, but too cliche for others. I had one that went extremely well when I drove out to the beach with her around sunset with a radio and we danced on the beach as the sun set and moon rose until we got tired and stood for a good hour facing into the sea with her in my arms.

Surprises are always good. If she is the outdoor type, then try to plan a hike somewhere and bring a lunch. Even better if you know the area well and are able to hide the food near where you want to stop to eat so she is more surprises (bonus points for her favorite foods).


To me, a date is a success when the rest of the world stops to exist for her within that time frame.

Hi there! Women for the most part are serious dreamers! Dinner and drinks are ALWAYS the romantic and special choice as pampering will be received by both of you and you can enjoy just getting to know each other! Just do something different! If money isn't seriously an issue, I think an evening dinner cruise is fabulous!! Since we have beach and water here, that'd be something I'd enjoy very much! ALSO, if she's more energetic and athletic (talking about ME again, haha), I'd LOVE to go bowling, shoot darts or play pool along with glancing at the tv on the wall for any sporting events playing at the time! Sorry to write you a novel! Hoping you have a wonderful date! Laurie

Answer 5

If you have an arcade, they may sound silly, but can offer fun and more entertainment. A movie is a great idea if you don't know what to talk about, the movie iteself will give you subjects. If you are more comfortable with her, consider a laid back coffee-house or cafeteria style restaurant. Someplace that lends itself to chatting. Talking is the best way to spend a first date. Moonlit strolls and picnics can be too romantic for a first date. Getting to know the one you are out with is best for determining if you even have a future together, a near future. If she bores you, or says something that sends up a red flag, move on.

Answer 6

My ideal 1st date was a ride to far away beach park. Take a picnic basket with such things as fruit in a can with the pop top. strawberries, grapes, make some hoagie sandwiches or bring everything so the lady can fix her own.
This way you can be very playful push the swing while talkin....
slide walk the beach look in souvenir shops. This is how to find out some of another persons interest. Put her own your back show your strengh and lay on the blanket admiring the qualities of another or eat the snack you both will enjoy. Find out what fruits she likes...Bring or pick a flower. A lil champagne or wine ! Hey you will find a lot to talk about seeing all this. Hope you enjoy. This is not an old time original you people have forgotten about picnics. How cozy.

Answer 7

Well, since you are a gentleman, this works perfectly if she knows you are a gentleman. Picnics are cool - but what if you live in an area (or its a time of year) where outdoor dates just don't work? Well, bring a picnic inside - your truck. If you fill your truck bed with blankets and pillows (works even better with a Blazer or other SUV), bring a picnic basket or cooler filled with your (or her) favorite beverages (I suggest Sparkling Red Grape Juice and wine glasses), a pizza or sandwiches, and for dessert, candy miniatures (candy bars or gummie burgers, etc). Then, for entertainment, take your laptop (or borrow one from a trusty friend) and two DVD's. Snuggle up, enjoy the movie, and eat some candies. She'll for sure love it - if you make it comfortable enough for her. Make sure you bring a lot of blankets and pillows, and make sure there is enough room for everything to sit comfortably without having to hold anything. The more time you spend in preparation equals the more time you will have for her on the date. Good luck!

Answer 8

I have one idea that could get you off on the right foot every time. Call early to see if your date is ready. (You don't have to ask specifically, as that might seem impatient. Just tell her you are really looking forward to your date.) When she says that she still has to take out the trash and do the dishes, then ask if it would be OK to come early and help her out. Taking some of the stress off of her day to help her begin your date relaxed will help her enjoy her time with you more and will set up a GREAT habit for later on if the two of you should happen to click and marry.

Be prepared... she may not feel comfortable "doing work" while you are there. Many of us ladies feel that way. That's fine. But continue to offer. Couples that work together seem to develop better communication skills and have more peaceful relationships.

Then try some of Rohit S's ideas. (Answerer #11) It's a very good list.

Answer 9

I love Miniature golf as a first date, I do believe a movie for a first date is kind of a chicken date, because you dont have to interact, dinner might be too formal for a first date because it adds a lot of presure, especially if you are nervous.Miniature golf (or any similar activity) will help you relax, say funny things, and eventually get closer to her, without losing your gentelmanly charm.

Other similar ideas that come to mind is an amusement park, a fair, hiking. You know, things that are fun, not exhausting, that let you have a conversation, but where you are not face to face all the time like it is a job interview.

I wish you the best.

PS. Bring her flowers or candy, it never fails to make a good impression. And if you get nervous, charmingly let her know that you are, if you play it right it willlet her know that you care

Answer 10

BE CREATIVE. Where do you live? The beach, mountains, prarie? Work the surroundings into your date. Have a picnic...pick her favortie foods...hide a bottle of wine (tied with a rock so it doesn't go anywhere) in a creek that you might hike over. Bring music...play her her favorite songs...do some research. Really listen to her and try to connect. Tell her you're just looking at her when she asks why. Call her home phone from your cell where she can hear you say that you've had a great time tonight. Roses are great...but buy them on the spur of the moment when you walk by the vendor with her and tell her that it's because she's beautiful or special...you can do tons of romantic stuff. So...if this works, you just have to find a guy that will do it all for ME. ;)
