Ok, so you have finally got the the courage to actually talk to a girl. You then summoned up even more courage to actually ask her out or get her phone number and she has said yes, or you are about to ask and hope she says yes. But where, what and how?
Don’t take her to the movies on the first date. It seems an easy choice and is what guys used to do 40 years ago. Not a good choice. Think about it- you are both sitting in the dark not talking and almost completely ignoring each other for 90 minutes with someone you hardly know. Awkward. Also the choice of movie is problematic. Chances are one of you won’t like the choice but be too polite to say so and one of you will be wishing it would finish now. Women have a different taste in movies to men. Don’t make going to the movies your first date plan. Third date or more maybe but definitely not on the first date.
A meal is always a good idea but how posh do you make it. You want to impress her but you don’t earn much money. You have just set the bar on the first date and she will be expecting at least that every time or worse still better. Too cheap though and she assumes you are a skinflint and not good second date material. Choose somewhere nice but mid range. Better still don’t do a restaurant.
You want to surprise her. Girls love surprises. Just organise or pack a picnic in the park with a blanket, a reasonable bottle of wine and some light finger food… You can easily pick up a selection at your local supermarket.
Depending on your age and financial status maybe just a casual coffee might be appropriate. That was there is no need to sit through a couple of hours when clearly you aren’t hitting it off. I would suggest a coffee. You have time to see if there is potential, its cost you under ten dollars and you never have to call her again if it turns out she would clearly be the girlfriend from hell. In fact any age a coffee is appropriate for the first date. Don’t even call it a date. It just going for a coffee, or can I buy you a coffee sometime… No commitment, no obligations of anything more, just two adults having a coffee and a chat.
Whatever you decide just make the commitment to get that date. You are unlikely to find the woman of your dreams on your first attempt, so have that coffee and the worst that happens is you waste an hour of your time, but at least you still got your caffeine fix. And try again next time.
