What would be the perfect first date for you? Have you had it? Do you have any ideas for those who are just hopeless when it comes to these things? Share it here!




I really don't like movies and such as a first date, since.. that's just sitting in the dark awkwardly.

My favorite things to do would probably tye dye shirts and cook something awesome. c: We both always have a good time and it keeps us busy, so we're not trying to figure out what to do.

To be honest, every time I go out with a guy, we never have a proper "first date." I've never had that "dress up for the first date and go to a restaurant and get to know the person and then get walked to the door will he kiss me or not?" experience. Most of hte people I've gone out with I have known as friends previously so we kind of skipped the first date or really we had the first date just as friends hanging out...not dating. The ex that I just broke up with...his and my "first date" didn't happen for MONTHS into our relationship...we were really poor so we just ended up hanging out with each other at our houses and that was that.

I've always wanted to GO on a first date though. As in...I meet someone, they ask me out on a date, we go to dinner or the beach or a hike or something, get to know each other a little bit...maybe a first kiss...that's it. Who knows - maybe the next one will give me that experience!

That's how it is around here. People don't really date before hopping into relationships because it's such a small town that everyone knows everyone and there's really no point. I've just started to date because I really want to!

It's fun to meet new people, but sadly I have to branch into different areas of the state. A lot of people still avoid it, even at my age so it's gotten to where I'm the one that asks them out. They seemed surprise but then they're usually pretty keen on the idea. c: Makes me feel classy. Ha.

Yeah, I grew up in a small town where everyone knew each other as well! XD It makes for easy dating I suppose :P

Now that I'm single again, I'm so ready to move on with my life! It helps that I got a job teaching at a new school in a new area for the fall so I'll be moving! So hopefully I'll meet a really nice guy D: But I really just don't know how to even meet people! I work so much, I put my social life on the back burner and that really sucks...I don't want to die alone!

Well I've never had a first date forever alone but my first two responses were "movie marathon" and "going to the cinema", but I guess you don't really get to KNOW the person that well with those sort of dates, as for mentioned.


So I suppose an "exploring the city" sort of date, nothing really planned, but just seeing what there is to see, stopping in places that look interesting. Lot's of room for getting-to-know-ya conversation, and something that's fun and not so cliche. Plus, you might run into a certain restaurant/bookstore etc that might end up being "your spot", which would be fun and romantic.


But DAMN do I want movie dates. I certainly hope my future significant other appreciates flicks as much as I do. I want someone to cuddle with while I watch the latest Wes Anderson....

Internet is my best friend for meeting people. I also went on a date with one of the men that delivers bread to where I work. ;>_> That was actually a very lovely time..

City exploring would be fun if I had a fun city to roam in. The closest one near me (hour+ drive) isn't very... nice. xD It's a turd with a mall.

Oh! Bowling is a good one! I like bowling dates, but I never used it as a first.

I'm generally avoiding romantic relationships until I get over some trust issues, I don't want to be that super clingy girlfriend

I'm not a huge fan of bowling, but I could see how that sort of thing might be interesting.

How about Tandem Biking? That'd be a blast, especially if the scenery's nice. Maybe not FIRST date material though...

I avoid actual committed relationships right now because I'm simply not emotionally available. I guess trust is part of it, but I am just emotionally shut off from all that and I know I am. I'm not a romantic. I don't like cheesy lovey moments and I feel pressured when they lay it on me. I really am not interested in changing that though. It feels natural. I think I'd rather find a man that understands and is the same, or maybe meet someone that makes me feel different about it.

Back to dates!

I'm pretty hilarious if I can toot my own horn and I remember one of my first dates, I literally had the guy laughing so hard he was in tears. We were at Olive Garden and I was (jokingly, of course) ranting about the fake Italians, how their forks weren't sharp for anything and then I managed to splatter sauce all over my face because I didn't use the spoon they give you to twirl your noodles on... right after I said I didn't need it. I also flung my silverware across the room on accident, broke my coaster while playing with it, spilled sugar all over the table while frantically trying to clean up all my messes..

i'm smooth.

Oh, I've never heard of tandem biking before.

OOOOH, those things. Had to google them. xD

Going out with someone with a sense of humour would be the best! Though I think I'd value someone who's able to discuss-not-argue things. I suppose I want more of a cozy-relationship-of-the-mind than an actual romantic relationship (I'm not one for romance either)

Also, this is a tandem bike



It won't be a stylish marriage, I can't afford a carriage. But you'll look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle meant for two~


Edit: haha nevermind you found it x3

Humor is basically required for someone to even be in my life, let alone dating. I always felt really cliche thinking that I was one of those girls who wanted 'A nice guy who could make me laugh' but it really is true. I need someone to be funny and to understand my humor.. my really crude humor.. I'm bad at censoring myself. e_e

I suppose for me that'd be sarcasm, a sub level of humour. Someone who can understand satire and not take everything I say too seriously, because 90% of the time I'm not serious. I suppose I want to have relationship like Daria and Tom


Eating pizza, watching movies and making fun of everything.

That being said I wouldn't want all the drama that came with above relationship hahaha

Yea, I'm a sarcastic little jerk. ;>_> I haven't seen Daria in forever, Omg.

I'm not one to have fantasies of perfection but I do dream a bit. I guess my idea of a great first date would be doing something interactive together. Like...riding a tandem bike together, getting together to write a short story, or a day out at the arcade. Might not seem very...date-ly but I'm using the term very loosely/lightly. I figure if the guy is anything like me, he'd like to have fun while still having time for intimate moments.

I've never really thought of it, to be honest.
I do remember, one date that I had, actually, now that I think of it, it was my first one. It was a super romantic setting. Middle of winter, my friend and I went to a forest, everything was covered in fresh snow. It was glistening all fancy-like. He brought a blanket and we chatted for awhile. It was really nice until he kissed me....

... evidently I have some anxiety on that type of thing, as the next morning I spent throwing up. Oh well.

would be in a room that was so smokey that you couldnt even see who you were with, it would just be like:

That would be super fun- but also super creepy! D:

lol well youd just be smokin with me so no worries,therearnt random dudes inside our smoke dome

i've never really thought about this. i think the most ideal date though would be to come by and play vidya games. It's never awkward if you're gaming, right? especially the older consoles. that'd be great actually ahaha.

i don't like super datey stuff. the idea of just meeting someone and being put into a situation where you're meant to be all romantic with eachother has never appealed to me. i do like gaming though, so that's a win-win situation tbh.

Pan is boring...

Pan would like it to be a simple dinner in a cozy restaurant, preferably with air-conditioning. And we would talk lots so we could find out more about one another. Pan would prefer if we sat on opposite ends instead of side by side. And we could adjourn for dessert or coffee after the date and still continue talking.

Pan is a talker and if the date ends up silent, it just means we don't have much to share and that would not be fun at all :(

I've never really understood the concept of dating or 'seeing people'. I could never imagine myself in a situation where i would be considering courting somebody who wasn't already a friend to some degree.

My boyfriend and i knew of each other through my brother and mutual friends, and he's been the only semi-exception to my generalisation. I knew practically nothing about him when we went on our first and only date to the zoo (which was grand btw). We got together the same day and just ran with it. He was a very honest and open book, and i pride myself on the same things, so we got on really well, and discovered we had more things in common than i could of hoped. It's still the same two years on. We joke sometimes when we do things that we're going on 'a date' but neither of us really have a sound idea of what one should be doing in that situation!

There's a lot of typical dating scenarios which i find silly, if the goal is to find out about the person, such as the cinema, or a theme park...I'd probably be really bad at it if i had to 'date' anyone for a substantial amount of time!

I guess the 'ideal first date' would be lunch before a movie we'd both enjoy, or dinner after the movie. Maybe before or after the movie walking downtown for a bit with ice cream or some other type of desert, followed by the 'first kiss' at the doorstep. I'm odd like that.

I think for me, an ideal first date would be at a carnival/fair. Personally, I feel like a quiet place would be really uncomfortable for me. Which is like lunch, dinner or taking a walk. Movies are nice, but I wouldn't feel like a "date".

I chose carnivals because there's so much going on, and there's something to talk about. Miniature golf is another thing too. I like small simple things that are silly. Things that resemble a Disneyland without the price tag.

I think my favorite thing to do on a date would be to go to an amusement park. It's fun and instead of sitting in the dark without speaking, like a movie, you can talk and laugh together.
