First date

Alright RS crew, i need thy advice!

I'm taking a girl out on our first date and I really want to make a good impression! I like her a lot and don't want to F this up!! Where are some good places I can take her and fun things to do around town? So far I can only think of

1). Bike around seawall
2). Drive in cinema
3). Just sit at the beach and talk, with some drinks

Any good restaurants? Nothing fancy, casual is better!!

Any suggestions is much appreciated. Thanks in advance guys!!!

day dates are a great idea. especially since the weather has been great recently.

bike/rollerblade around the seawall
picnic
aquarium is a good place too imo if she hasn't been in a long time
outdoor movies - i think it's free too!

Do you know this girl well? It makes a big difference.

I would suggest for a first date if you don't know here well that there's a reason why coffee is popular. Most girls don't like to be stuck in a car with someone they don't know well, or drinking much.

I like silly first dates because I think it often breaks down barriers fast. Bowling then dinner, a goofy movie then coffee, if the weather's nice I've done paintball for first dates too (Though you have to make sure your partner is on board cause pain and bruises).

If you know her well already, I totally suggest the drive in as it both great and cause you're in your car you can talk as much as you like during the movie with out worry of disturbing anyone and they play 3 movies a night (seriously you can be there till 3-4 am if you're up for staying up that late).

Coffee. Cheap, simple, fast. Your first date should be 2.5 hours tops. If you like this girl, you have all the time in the world for future dates.

If you go in too fast, you're out just as fast.

Tandem biking! I don't know how to ride a bike so when my boyfriend took me I was super excited, and it was super fun! Good conversation happens on the bike too, you can hear each other perfectly and not have to attempt to keep pace with one another like on separate bikes =]

gogogogo!

Make sure to rent from Robson Bicycle (Robson @ Cardero). It's 12.50/hr with 2 hr min. If you have student ID then you get 20% off. We biked for about 3.5hrs and worked out to $21 incl. tax.

I'd avoid #3. Sitting at the beach and talking is good if you guys know each other well. First dates usually need an activity to prevent dead air and those awkward moments.

Ah, I remember my first date

You dont necessarily need to know each other well to have a good time, when I took my gf out on our first date we really didnt know anything about each other but we never had any awkward/silent moments.

Seriously all we did was had a late dinner then went somewhere to just sit and chat and it was alot of fun.

I guess it depends on what kind of girl she is though, if shes a little on the shy side and you guys dont know each other well, mini golf would be a good idea. It'll make her feel a little more relaxed than sitting there one on one making her think she HAS to say something.

I agree with v.Rossi here, but I personally would have a time limit of about 1 hour. I'd make her wanting more even if it means choosing to end a little early because it shows you have something to do later and are not a wimp but that's something I would do.

I can only offer you my advice so I advise you to take her to a coffee shop. It shows that you are interesting if you can maintain an interesting conversation. It also allows for you to have different opportunities such as walking outside etc.

I would also suggest you paying for the drink/meal because it would make the date a date unless she tells you she tells you otherwise.

Finally I would like to address one matter that irritates me, you can take it or leave it. If you are going to have dinner with her please Please PLEASE TRY NOT TO WHIP OUT YOUR PHONE UNLESS IT'S AN EMERGENCY. IT IS VERY RUDE. People these days cannot live without checking their phone(s) every two minutes. You cut the connection as soon as you check your text or call someone--it just kills the mood.

As always, just make up your own mind.

It's outdoor too, so don't go too late. When I went with my friends I remember it not being that well lit.

Aquarium in my opinion. PNE is also great since they're some rides that might be scary for her. Date has to go accordingly to weather. If it's too hot, then don't do much outside. If it's sunny but warm, head for Stanley park, go for a bike ride and a picnic. Don't aim so high for a first date though, take it easy and slowly since you want to keep it interesting. If you are going all out on the first date, you will have to keep rolling that way, sort of an expectation but enjoy yourself.

Oh, just thought of something fun. Rock Climbing.

Yes please don't be fidgeting with your phone all the time, some guys keep doing it while waiting for food to come, movies to start, etc. It's pretty rude and annoying since they can't seem to carry a conversation or anything while being completely distracted by texting, surfing, or gaming.

Don't constantly check your phone. If you must check, do it at a bathroom break or something.

I'd recommend against the movie. It might be "easy" but it definitely won't go towards building chemistry. It's not exciting, intriguing or attractive, it's not going to build up chemistry between the two of you.

Do something interactive to take the edge off so you don't have to talk. Mini golf or a walk, or window shopping is a good idea. You'll always have objective related topic to discuss as a fallback, but you're in constant contact so you can talk more if you're into each other.

Some women are just as guilty of this, if not more
