Is it too soon to invite someone to dinner and cook it yourself on a first date ? I have nothing against going out, but then, that would cause more complications visa ve: vegetarian, price (as in splitting check) etc?

To the person who answered "she".. its actually "he" or "ze" rather.

I would go for a coffee instead, cause if you are having a meal together, it might be to close. Or as ppl above me said, only smalltalk. That is a good idea. But I prefer going to the cinema or drink something above inviting someone for a dinner.

Only you know whether or not this guy you want to date is trustworthy enough to invite to your home so soon, or worth the effort of cooking a meal for. I wouldn't invite a guy I hardly knew for such a personal, intimate meal. It could send the signal that you want, or expect, a certain level of immediate 'domesticity' or you could make him feel 'smothered' by your 'home-cooked' June Cleaver act.
First dates should be casual, fun, no pressure, an easy kind of 'getting to know you' in a nice cafe. Neutral ground.

Ok, here it is I know it's corny, but it works well as a great date.........
you invite the person to a park for a picnic, if you really want to impress them instead of a picnic, have a pizza (cheese for the vegetarian) delivered to your location at the park then pop open the trunk and pull out a cooler with champagne, and glasses in it.
I know it is wierd, but it really makes them feel special, and clearly you have thought about them.

I think the whole cooking thing might be best left to the 4th or 5th date, especially since it would be in your home. . A good date might be walking around the park and just talking, or going to a coffee shop.

First of all if it is a first date and your the one who asked them out you should pay. I think that would be very nice to make dinner for them. I would love that on a first date but that is just me. Good luck!

Too soon to cook for them. Take them out and only worry about the check

putt putt, a nice walk, then talking over a coffee/ soda and something to eat. a first date shouldnt be about romance as much as it should be about building friendship and growing together. save romance for a later date. if your trying to "score" on a first date then your minde is in the wrong place.

dude,
if you wanna get laid on your first date then i suggest you cook her dinner at your place and rent a romantic dvd. And no its not too soon.
Cooking shows that you care and have made real effort and its more private. You can talk about whetever you want where as in restaurant you have distraction and might feel selfconscious.
good luck

No, inviting someone over for a meal is a common first date.
Or, at least, it used to be.

Cooking dinner would be a great idea, just don't make it too romantic.
