Where to go on a first date

If youre gonna have a first date with someone, where would you take her or want him to take you?

a bar to shoot some pool if they drink or maybe to a bowling ally if not.

Depends.

If you're low on cash, and can't spend much, I suggest a movie, and somewhere else nice. Either a restuarant, or something. Another option is a amusement park. It's a bit more expensive, but she'll like it.

Jazz club hands down.

Not always...My last GF hated roller coaster rides...therefor the amusement park wasn't that fun for her.

Well, the thing is, is there's a VARIETY of things to do at an Amusement park. Not just roller coasters. Things like boat rides and such. There's also dining places, etc, etc. There's bound to be something you both like there.

I knew a girl as well that hated roller coasters. Instead, we went to the boat rides and haunted house attraction. We had fun. Had lunch/dinner, went on a few more short rides, hit some carnival game stands, saw a fireworks show, and went home happy. Just a short example.

Take her to a nice bistro, then dancing or to a play/movie, after that for coffee/tea with a snack.

I am perpetualy poor, so i go for picnics in the park.

For my first date, I had me and my mom help set up my back patio, which was outlooking the ocean, to seem like part of an expensive restaurant. I brought my girl bowling, to see a movie, and then told her the best was yet to come, and she got excited. When she saw my house, she was like "wtf", but by the time we reached the back porch, she was completely stunned by the scenery, and the classic music that could be heard from inside. So we sat down, looked at the sunset, and ate some steak and stuff.

'Twas good.
Too bad she ditched me like a week later. <.<;;

And then she told me a few months ago how wonderful that day was. <.<;;;

I smell a gold digger.

Anyway, I'll take her to a restaurant or a movie. There isn't anything to do in where I live so it's to the mall or just some restaurant I know. But if she's really into what I like then the jazz bar is the right place to go.

Somewhere to eat or have a cup of tea/coffee is nice because you can talk and get to know each other.
One thing I do NOT recommend (for first/second date) is the movies, since it is dark and very loud so you can't talk or really see each other that well. For later dates where it is okay to be making out allot, then the movies can be a good choice.

First I take a walk with them to get to know them better,then go to the movies, afterward the night ends with dinner.

Several parks, surrounding the metro area, have small outdoor concerts. Find a concert she will enjoy and have a small picnic there.

Fastfood joint. I feel immense pressure on first dates. I don't like the guy to invest in something without knowing what he's investing in. I had one experience where a guy took me to this awful seaside sushi place (great view; shitty sushi) and racked up a fortune. This was our second date. I just hated pretending that I liked it. Better to start off nice, easy, and casual, and when you get serious, go out somewhere nice - so you can express gratitude and disapproval without hurting the course of the relationship.

The arcade
noisy,free and lots to see ^^
Never worked for me though - -;;

Some cozy café.
Maybe it's just me, but I'm quite laid back about this kinda stuff and have never really had a big first date. If I by some reason would ask a girl out I would ask if she wanted to grab a cup of coffee and head for some nice café, it's usually cheap, not a lot of pressure on any part and if you go to the right place you can usually get a nice, intimate environment.

Amusement parks and restaurants are nice but not worth it if you're not really sure what you're getting yourself into.

Out for Coffee/Tea.
