Ideas for a First Date

[woad&fangs]

Okay, in the next couple of days(probably monday) I'm probably going to ask this one girl out. Originally I was planning on just going to a movie with her but it seems that there isn't a lot of good movies out right now.

So do any of you have an idea? I want to hear them all ; the simple ideas, the romantic ideas, and the zainy/crazy ones. Also, if there is a good first date movie out right now I would love to hear about it. Keep in mind that I'm 16.

Thanks,

First important question, do you have a driver's license and access to a car?

[woad&fangs]

Yes I do have a license and a vehicle. It may be a minivan but at least it can get me from point A to Point B.

Last time I went on a date was with a girl I was already with (though, it was technically our first date...).

Dinner, then out on the town - meet up with friends, have a few drinks, a little dancing, then back to hers for... uh... coffee.

Kekvittles is probably a chea^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hfun date!

@ Waldinger

Ask her if she can lick her elbow, or if she can touch her elbows behind her back.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Seriously though, I always liked going to those "Fun Times" kind of places, like where they have Go Karts and interactive games that couples can do. And honestly for me, those places were a good measure of the gal for the dates I went on in high school and college. The two or three times I went with a girl who didn't enjoy herself or try to have fun (how can you not at those places??) were pretty short lived relationships. Your mileage may vary.

Edit - Do something that you'll enjoy, and that she'll probably enjoy. The key here is finding something that's common ground for the both of you. If for example you hate dancing/clubbing, and that's all she wants to go do, then you're probably not too terribly compatible, as doing things as a couple is integral to a relationship. Thus, if it's really hard or impossible to find common ground, that should be a red flag to take into consideration. It's not fair to either of you to just do what the other person wants and something you don't enjoy.

A nice dinner is always a winner, whether you're 16 or 60 and whether you're on your first date or 50th anniversary. Just make sure she doesn't pay for it. Afterwards depends on what she likes to do. A movie, a pool hall, dancing, whatever. Pick something she will like.

[Beirut]

A nice dinner is always a winner.

Yep.

Go somewhere nice if you can afford it. And have no expectations except a decent meal and a nice conversation.

Crushed expectations will come later when you've been together for a few years.

[master of the puppets]

find a nice cafe, a place where you can have some coffee and chat, a few in my area also have dancing and i girl NEVER turns down a good dancer.













...unless he is ugly or smells but i have never been down that road...

A minivan? Eh, I'd advise borrowing a friend's car.

I'd recommend you keep it simple. Go somewhere cheap-moderate for dinner, and then see a nice movie.

For movies I'd recommend something scary or something funny:

30 days of night would have her all of you in fear

The Heartbreak Kid looks funny.

It's your call.

[Csargo]

I'd say bring her somewhere you can sit and have a nice chat and get to know each other.

Like... dinner?

[RoadKill]

I advise you don't drive that minivan. Also keep it simple for a first date watch a movie. If you live in america or Canada go watch Saw 4 ( if shes scared of those movies you'll get some action). Then after the movie go bring her some where cool to eat (not Mcdonalds). And then bring her home.

[Marshal Murat]

I don't know. If she can't accept that you drive a mini-van, are you really compatible?

[Crazed Rabbit]

Movie and a dinner is a good idea.

As for movies, I'd be cautious against the heartbreak kid. I hear stiller plays a real jerk in it, and it's generally mean spirited. Might not be best for a first date.

Maybe The Game Plan?

CR

[Papewaio]

A mini-van has other connotations... if this van is rocking don't come knocking.

So if my 16 year old daughter (hypothetical at this point) had a date with a 16 year old boy who rocked up in a minivan I would interrogate the little tyke until he turned atheist.

Lunch or Dinner and a movie or something fun, ice skating or some such. Leave the beach for later unless you already have gone to the beach with her.

Be clean, smell nice and don't worry. Be yourself... just a shiny clean version.

[Strike For The South]

Whats a date?

[IrishArmenian]

Good music scene where you are? If so, find a small show that you're both interested in, preferably something one can dance to.

[Decker]

Whats a date?

Taking a HOT chick out to a Skynyrd Concert

[Lemur]

When I'm getting ready for a date, I have a few essentials:

• Clown suit
• Plastic tarps
• Chainsaw
• Full-sized van
• Pre-dug pit in forest preserve
• Five spools of copper wire

Oh, wait, I haven't been on a date in over a decade. Never mind. I was thinking of something else.

You forgot air-fresheners. Don't want people smelling something funny.

You forgot a gallon sized vat of Crisco and a spatula.

Amateurs, geez.

Edit - And some ketchup. I'm getting rusty here.

So that's how they do it down there Howabout taking her to the local fair?

[Rodion Romanovich]

Take her to a place she never expected ....

*drumrolls*

*drumrolls*

*drumrolls*

*drumrolls*

Your own room at home, in front of your computer, playing EB!

[Shaka_Khan]

Go skinny dipping with her. You're just a kid so don't worry. I used to bathe with my sister when I was four.

[Rodion Romanovich]

That's a good idea, Shaka Khan. What's even better, is that if she doesn't like the date, and you are on a nudist beach, you may find another date pretty fast if you need one!

[Husar]

Don't worry about your car, I'm 22 and don't even have a driver's license.
But then I also never had a date...

Just go and have fun, somehow, if you can't have fun or she wants you to have a Ferrari, you may want to forget about her.
That's easier to say than do and considering my lack of experience...but anyway...

[pevergreen]

So Waldinger, we are in the same situation

My part of the world, a dinner is not really the go ahead, it isnt done at our age. Normally its hanging out at a shopping centre or the city.

Depends what you like and what she likes. I was going to be sleeping over at her house with one of her friends (female) and no parents. But my plan to get it past my parents failed. So im just going over to her place (by that i mean...ummm...my project partners house...yeah) for 6 or so hours.

Should be fun nonetheless.

In short: if you are unsure of if it will work between the two of you, do something she likes, if you are sure, do something you both like.

[Beefy187]

Although I never had a date.. I never loved a girl.. I dont even have a soul..

ok never mind my miserable (but fun filled) life story can be posted else where

I rekon what to do on date really depends on the girls trait (sorry cant think of the word to replace it) and age.

If its outgoing type populer girl then dancing or watching movies is the way to go.

If its more quiet person then shoping, walking and lots of talking I guess. Just talk talk talk!

watching the sunset always seems to work in those Hollywood movies.

Flowers would be nice

Good luck Waldinger! You to Pever!!
