movie centre? club? house? restaurant??

Restraunt
So that you can actualy get to know the person that you want to date, and find out what they are all about, Their likes and dislikes everything. no one is going to find everything on a first date but I think going to a reastraunt is a good idea and later on once you have established that then you can move to dinners at home you cooking or go to cooking classes together and call it a first date too.
Make it fun.

A zoo baboon enclosure at 4am in the morning...

A taxi. It should be fine, unless you get car-sick...

I like to meet for elevenses, then a gallery or museum and then (if things have gone well) lunch. I do that every time now, although I have substituted the odd cathedral for the gallery/museum. (No-one noticed! )
And once the elevenses ran into lunch, without either of us noticing. (Nobody was injured!)
It has to be - I think - daytime, public (but not too busy), no alcohol and not too noisy.
Your home is not a good idea, until you know them better. Although women have taken me home and prepared meals, played music, etc.
Clubs and pubs are too noisy.
Night-time and drink can be a dangerous combination.
(Unless it's the second date and you fancy some danger! )

I like to skip first dates and start with the second.

And I prefer hotel rooms as it saves me restocking my booze cabinet and washing the sheets.

Actually within an inflatable bouncy castle, not on it...!

My preference is to meet up for lunch, cafe, restaurant or pub I don't mind which. It gives a good opportunity to either extend the date if you get on well, but if not, you can have a polite ending and it's only taken a couple of hours of your time.

It's much harder to escape an evening date when the night is still young and your date is uninteresting to be with.

Don’t think: I’m going to marry this person?
You just met!
Wait until you’ve gone out long enough
to consider developing emotional intimacy.........

The first date should be short
Even if it doesn’t go so well, go out again.....

SInce a good first date is a cup of something hot and a piece of cake Short and Sweet...... It shud idelally be at a restaurant or a place which is far off from the general hustle & Bustle ..where u can talk to each other and get to know more abt the person u meet...

I always turn up with wedding rings and a pram I'm so eager...!!!

A walk down the canal you can then push them in and leg it if you don't like them

First date should be something that one of the parties is interested in I think.
So if she loves ballet go see one with her
If she loves Animals go to the Zoo
If she love Art then a gallery
If she loves the F1 then down to a sports bar with a big TV as its unlikely your gonna get tickets to that!

Simples really

Coffee on a busy and interesting terrace or park cafe!

I agree with with what someone said further up, first dates should be kept short.

All my first dates have been coffee dates during the day or a drink in the evening and lasting no more 2 hours at the very most. If I find that we both enjoyed spending that short time in each other company then the second date can be somewhere where we can spend more time together and getting to know more about each other.
