On a first date, somewhere with 0 expections to drink alcohol and in public and probably most important somewhere where we can hear each other well and actually talk. Nothing worse than going to a bar and shouting at each other all night, or going to the cinema and learning nothing about each other. I like restaurant dates but tbh I don't wanna feel full on a first date. Cafe/coffee dates and then a nice walk around town have worked well for me. Then a walk in nature once I trust someone, then more indulgent drinking/food dates. If we have a shared hobby/activity, that can be fun if it is appropriate to do together.
Don't think it has ever gone like this for me - I've often made do with less than ideal scenarios, but I think this order would maximise getting to know someone and having both parties feel safe. I'm a man btw. I often streamline the process if someone is willing, but I recognise I've never felt like there is the potential to be physically threatened by a date (even though there definitely still is that risk, however unlikely), so usually go a bit slower until someone is at ease.
I dunno, a simple shop for a drink or something but I don't get dates anyways.
As a guy, a simple conversation over dinner is my ideal date.
I'd like to get a snack, and do something competitive like go-cart racing.
At this point in life, a successful one lmao

April 25th , not to hot , not to cold and all you need is a light jacket.
I hope you have a date that day
Eats, shoots, and leaves.
