We could go to dinner at a good restaurant where we can get to know each other a bit, and then to a performance of some sort: music, theatre. etc. We'll go dutch, of course.

I don't believe anything is perfect and besides that the "first date" is always awkward. So on my 1st date I say we drive separate cars and do a dutch non exquisite breakfast, lunch or dinner with ample conversation and question's. Or we do something without food that we both can do. Pending weather ,it could be a walk /stroll, bike ride, hayride, sleigh ride, tram ride then maybe stop for a bite to eat for more getting to know you and kibitzing. We could end it there, exchange numbers & set a 2nd date or off to a quieter place somewhere else; my place or yours place, if we feel that comfortable with one another for maybe a coffee or tea and more conversation. As long as we are both comfortable with wherever we decide to meet and do, for me it doesn't matter how the first date is set up. If all goes well as it winds down, we can exchange numbers and decide on a 2nd date and exchange a thank you hug and if the feeling is right, maybe a gentle good night kiss.
I expect to meet a fun and intelligent lady, who is a bit curious and excited. We will laugh, discuss, learn and engage in a new beginning of friendship.

A perfect first date? What is a perfect first date when you dont know the other person? Being relaxed & honest & not expecting too much. Nice meal is something I'd enjoy most definitely!
A quiet independent coffee house that brews excellent espresso and serves wicked-delicious pastries; a table near a window, or al fresco. Just you; just me. Talking. Laughing. Finding our groove.
beach restaurant, dennys for coffee, whatever feels comfortable to both of us. Chatting, getting to know each other, laughing at ourselves and with each other, open and honest communication.

My ideal 1St date would be meeting for coffee and talking to learn about each other and to see if wy are compatible. Dinner at a quiet place would also be a good start. I say quiet because I have found that most places here are so loud that you have to yell to be heard. I don't like to yell and possibly misunderstood.
Meeting early in the day for breakfast and then going by the ocean somewhere to just sit and talk. Learn about each others likes and dislikes. Then maybe going to a dinner show to end the day.

Just coffee or a light meal. I usually know very quickly if I am attracted to or made curious by the person I am with. I reserve the right to be honest in saying whether or not I would like to get together again. I would hope the person I am with will also feel free to express herself. Without those qualities, and without laughter, I usually find myself uninterested in the other person

I love the Tea Source in the Twin Cities. Not only can you you order a cup or a pot of tea from their incredibly deep selection of over 100 teas and tisanes but there's always a quiet table (inside or out) where you can have deep, searching conversations about where the two of you have been and where you still dream of going in life, or, what vagaries of life brought two exceptional people together at this special time and in this unique place.
There is almost always a wind in Minnesota. Think of how wonderful it would be to sit together on a hillside (yes, we do have hills in Minnesota...) on a warm, breezy Spring day, eating a light lunch, sipping a glass of tart lemonade and each flying kites (I love flying and sewing kites).
In my life, the two places where a first date would NOT occur is in a bar or a restaurant. In a bar, you are surrounded by women (come on, at least it would have to be a dyke bar) who find it necessary to support their flagging self-confidence with mood altering drugs (legal or otherwise?) and in a restaurant you are so surrounded by such a deluge of external stimuli that it is difficult to remained focused on this new person you should be intent on learning about. Either way, it often is not conducive to open and honest communication.
First dates are unique opportunities to make and to perceive first impressions. But they can also be a source of incredible tension and social pressure. My earnest belief is that the less pressure you burden yourselves with, the more peace and ease you build into a first date, the greater chance you have of making good decisions based on those first impressions. Just go out and find that special woman you know you deserve...
