Take me on a trip round your city, let's see some places you think are cool, then go for a meal or drinks before you take me back to your place... Too audacious? ;)

How about an indoor picinic. We could meet up at a public place, maybe a mall do some window shopping & walk & ta5 getting to know each other then if in an agreement we could go to a movie, if things don't work out then we could go our own separate ways and no one would leave upset or angry. But if it turnf out good then that would be definite plus.

A casual meal somewhere that we could talk & get to know one another better followed by a quiet walk in the park.

Something safe and initiallly short in case we don't mesh. Can always do something else if we do! Dinner, an outdoor event with lots of people, music, a high school game (soccer, lacrosse, etc.). The point is to get to know each other in a place where we can leave when we want (or stay) that doesn't put one or the other in an uncomfortable situation.

Something creative would be nice! How about simply going for a walk in the Japanese Gardens and taking a picnic lunch? A very first date shouldn't be complicated or anxiety- producing. Just meeting up for coffee (or maybe milkshakes!) would be fine. If that goes well, we can get a little more creative. If we go out to a restaurant, something unexpected, unusual, or off the beaten path would be my preference (although I'm not much for spicy food, and more importantly, I'm deathly allergic to garbanzo beans, so no hummus!). Or we don't even need to go eat. We could go to OMSI, check out a local art gallery or museum, go to a comedy club, see a play, or go do something arsty-craftsy together. Although I haven't been in years, I love horseback riding, so a trail ride be another idea.

Something fun that allows us to be outselves and get to know one another. The State Fair, Six Flags, The Dallas World Aquarium, bowling, Putt-Putt, shooting pool (which I am horrible at, lol).
