Jordvn Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 I'm taking this girl out this weekend, & I simply cannot decide what to do. We're in our mid 20s. I was thinking about dinner & a movie but that might be boring. I just can't stop over analyzing this..
RecentChange Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 Where do you live? City, country, suburbs? What is the weather like right now? I like a bite - small plates, not a big meal, some wine or drinks, and to either stroll around the City. I am blessed with many "attractions" in the area. I remember a nice first date in Monterey, coffee, snacks, and a day spent walking along the shore / piers. Basically I like a chance to sit and talk a bit over some food (but not a huge meal to leave me in a food coma!), enjoy a drink, and then go for a walk - and talk. I find it's an easy way to chat with someone - without having awkward silence that staring at each other may bring on. You aren't too busy eating etc to really talk - and in my experience it's a nice way to get to know someone. Besides, it's a lot less awkward to reach out and hold hands walking I have noticed other cultures have a tradition of "walking and talking" and I think it's a really nice activity. As for movies - I am not a fan. 2 hours of sitting in the dark, staring at a screen, unable to talk or interact isn't a good way to get to know someone. Maybe for dates down the road, but I wouldn't pick that for a first date.

Yeah, you're right a movie isn't a good idea, especially when there's nothing good out. Have you ever been to MOMA??
IfonlyIknew Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 Do you have Tapas restaurants near you? I always think that's a great date to sample a variety of food in one sitting with a glass of wine/drink. Also Halloween is coming up you can always go to a Haunted House that'd be a great 1st date especially if you want to get close to her with out the pressure.
RecentChange Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 Ha! Yes it is pretty dark and crummy out today - so your date is tonight!? I haven't been to the new MOMA, but I think that's a great idea. Right down 3rd street near Brennan there is a nice little cocktail bar call the Alchemist - it's a cozy, not too busy spot - nice for a Friday night drink (especially if you get there early). Maybe museum then a drink, or a drink then off to the museum? There is food in the area as well. It's not supposed to rain too hard, perhaps you two can share an umbrella Heh- and I may have gone on a date in the same area - on a rainy evening - that resulted in is ducking under doorways to steal a kiss out of the rain - maybe you will be so lucky!
smackie9 Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 I say fun theme bar where there is lots of interesting things to look at, that is lively but not too loud that you have to yell at each other to have a conversation.

Our date was supposed to be tonight, but she had to reschedule til next weekend. Yeah, I'll just go with the museum! I'm not much of a drinker but grabbing a bite afterwards sounds good. Any good spots? The doorway kiss is a great idea! lol. Hopefully it will be raining so it will be more romantic!
Shanex Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 (edited) Good luck OP, I find the dating scene in San Fran to be pretty good and exciting. According to the people of SF, their city is the most beautiful in America. (oh you guys have the Golden Gate, the Cable Car, the Bay, the Napa Valley close by. But what a really crappy wheather.) Hope this work for you. Edited October 29, 2016 by Shanex
transform yourself Posted October 30, 2016 Posted October 30, 2016 Hello Jordvn, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience of struggling to think of a date ideas. I have an instagram page called "transformyourselfinsta" which has tons of date ideas so you will never run out ideas on what to do with the new lady in your life and let your new relationship grow into something healthy. One of my favourite is coffee and cake or dessert and cake and you can go to a bar later, a good thing to do is change venues so it keeps things fresh and one date feels like two dates and she will feel like she's known you for a long time. Take care
