What are your go to first dates?

I take them for a ride, in my garbage truck
 
Cooking for a date is often my second date, set up from the first: "I can cook better."
"You can?"
 
I've been with my wife for 8 years now... but when I was single, a favorite first date for me was Dave & Busters. You can eat/drink/talk... but there is also lots of other stuff to do so there isn't any forced/awkward conversation.
 
I see a lot of votes for cool at your place but...what kind of girl would go to your place right away on the first date?

Generally I only go for drinks (alcohol, tea) on the first date. No meals, no movies. Movies are pointless and I don't want to spend too much money and stuff my face in front of somebody I barely know. I try to take her to different places on the date and have a lot of different experiences. I like to walk around, find a bar/cafe, talk for a bit and walk around some more.

There's an area in my city perfect for this. There's stream that's really nice to look at and has some art galleries and touristy attractions to wander into.

Yes, this.
 
sushi or thai and then drinks..

use the DENNIS system if all else fails..
 
Here's a simple and very effective approach:

Find out what food she likes, then ask her what are some of her favorite restaurants.

Pick one of her favorite places to eat that she has named off, and boom. Panties are already half way off by end of night. :)
 
Mini golf. You can help her with her putting and if she doesn't run away when she feels your boner pushing into her butt, you're in.

Wait what?

But seriously, first dates at the movies suck. Something like a night-market is always good; you can go there, wander for a bit (and you rarely run out of things to talk about as you're not fully relying on each other for conversation ala dinner/coffee dates) and then if it goes well you can hit up a cocktail lounge, buy some drinks then suggest dancing (assuming you're confident on the dance floor, or both suitably intoxicated) and then take it from there depending on your goals.
 
I used to Usually do dinner out somewhere.

Story time:
One of my favorite places to go is amoeba in LA. I love going there and can spend hours there. I love the whole sunset and vine/ hollywood blvd area around there. My first date with my current gf of 6 years and future wife was at amoeba. At the time we lived an hour away. So it was a risky first date, long care ride there and back and basically a big record store & movie store, a place some girls would get bored with in minutes. But I really liked this one and I figured if she could enjoy one of my top fav places with me then she was a keeper (and to top it off we were looking for my/our favorite show, are you afraid of the dark). Anyways I could tell 15 minutes into the car ride that this was going to be a special relationship.

My point is if u think shes a keeper take her to one of ur favorite places/activities, regardless if its not common dating scenery. My friends thought I was crazy when they heard where I was taking her and now we have been happy for 6 years and counting

This is really good information. The primary point of a date is to see if I like her, not the other way around. One of the reasons I don't date is because I don't like the idea of spending money and time on some good looking stranger so that she'll evaluate me favorably. Your approach works better. Though I can imagine you went out with a lot of girls that went home and told their friends it was a terrible date, it's a great way to find the right one.

I think at the end of the day it depends what u r looking for. If u just want to bang/hook up or nothing serious then dinner or drinks or both.

But I really liked her before our first date so I decided to just go for it. If you are going to be in a serious relationship then u should enjoy each others company despite where u r and what u r doing. Thats why I said I knew it would be special 15 minutes into the car ride, we were having a good time just talking/joking/listening to music and I knew I didnt have to find some special activity or fancy place or get liquored up to woo her.

Let us know where u go/ what u decide to do
 
Beer festival to get her hammered (twice)
Take her to a nice restaurant or your basement
The beach if you live nearby
Coffee and talk if you're into that kind of shit

Haha...yeah, man. I don't like this whole process of having to plan all the shit out formally. It's a lot easier to be lazy nowadays since women are so forward. She's old-fashioned, though, which I respect. It's not the actual date I'm worried about (I'm charming as fvck), just the planning part.

I don't drink and I'm pretty sure she's Muslim (Persian), so I'm hoping she doesn't either. Otherwise, I may do it just to keep things simple. Thanks for the advice, sir.

If she's old-fashioned and you don't drink, then greet her with a bouquet of roses, then escort her to a horse-drawn carriage ride through town where it will drop you off at a fancy restaurant where a quartet will serenade her through music. Then, you have to keep topping that with each subsequent date.

So I need ideas. I don't normally date, but I'm trying it out with this biddy for research purposes/personal growth an shit. You're all banging 10s, so I know you're charmers. What are your tried and true first date success strategies?

Park or Amusement Park. I would stay away from movie theatres, I had a couple of those and they were pretty lame

No movie theaters because of the awkward silence and shit.

I suggest somewhere she's guaranteed to laugh and have a great time.
 
Restaurant where live bands play are always fun, you can make fun of the shitty music, possibly enjoy it, and get an idea of what they listen to which creates multiple conversation topics.
 
Meteor shower, country side, telescope, bottle of wine, condoms.
 
Dinner and then a long walk. Sounds boring, but it brings conversation, and conversation is important for a first date.
