Rules to decide where to go for first date


Pick an activity that you enjoy 
A first date should be something that you like to do. Do not pick something you 
hate just because you think your partner will enjoy it.

Pick an activity that you can easily afford 
Don't try to snow somebody on the first date by spending gobs of money. The 
dangers of throwing money around are that it makes you look cheap later, when 
you scale back your spending to accomodate your budget, and you never know 
whether your date likes you or your wallet. 

Do something that doesn't require new clothes  
New clothes are often uncomfortables and tend to bunch, rip, catch, and get 
spilled on. Why worry about clothes when there are more important things to 
worry about it. Wear your happy, easy-to-wear good luck clothes.

Do Something That Isn't Competitive  
Avoid arm wrestling on the first date. Although some relationships thrive on 
tension, it's hard to put competitive feelings in a context when you don't know 
each other. Even if you're not competing with each other, how you deal with 
someone trying to beat you while the date you're trying to impress is watching 
gets pretty dicey. And beating someone on a first date means that one of you 
feels like a winner and one like a loser. Not a cool idea.

Pick An Activity That Doesn't Involve A Lot Of Alcohol  
You might say the wrong think if consume too much of alcohol.

Leave Time to Get to Know Each Other  
A date that is chock full of activity keeps you busy, but if the purpose is a 
chance to get to know one another, some quiet time is a great idea. Without a 
bunch of distracting noise, activity, or an audience, you can talk to and get a 
sense of one another.
