I like to make it casual, go for a walk followed by some coffee sounds good to me. What I really want is a chance to talk to you, and taking a walk sure breaks the ice, and perhaps you have prepared a picnic? A nice surprise is always welcome!

Hahaha - that would be telling but I'd lean towards something a bit whacky... what better way to get to know somebody than by NOT doing the standard "go to the cinema / pub" thing?

I like spending money... but I don't have a whole lot of it. Actually, that's not entirely true, it's just that $800-a-month bill and loan payments kinda consume most of my free cash. That being said, I like to go to the movies, eat out at restaurants, and all that good stuff -- just not every night of the week, I think is the point I'm trying to convey here. If you're the kinda person who can just sit on the couch with someone and watch TV even though there's nothing on, then we might be in good shape, because that's about as boring as I get -- any more boring and I myself start to get annoyed. On the flip side, I like to "do" stuff... but this is Pasadena, so... yeah. I don't mind hanging out at the mall, or visiting comic book stores, or showing up over friends' houses unannounced so that they have to think of something to do. Quite frankly, so long as I like the person(s) I'm with, I enjoy doing almost anything, even if it's something completely dumb... like... I dunno... wandering around in the woods or... feeding... squirrels.... I think you get what I'm trying to say here: I'm not that picky so long as I'm into you. ^_~ As for an actual first date, I can see us just watchin' a movie in my living room and talking, or we could go out to the Greene Turtle or Friendly's (I really like those places), or, if you have a better idea, we'd do that. I have a kinda small, but close, group of friends that I hang out with often, so chances are you'd get to meet them pretty early on in our relationship. I'm confident, though, that if you were into me, you'd be into them, too -- they're all beyond awesome in terms of friends.

I am all about the city Iive in. I would want to go to the park and throw the ball/frisbee or just and relax while we get to know each over coffee (can you tell I love coffee?). Anything that lets me get to know you better.

There's always so much pressure for a first date...and it's been so long since I had to deal with the dating scene that I'm not even sure what the rules are anymore. I like the idea of a no pressure scenario. There are no expectations and we just go where the feeling takes us.

Something simple, movie or bowling something like that get a bite to eat and then go to a park or water front to just hang out, walk around and talk.
