Take her to play paintball.
My first date was to a go-kart race that my (future) boyfriend was in. I got to hang out with the pit crew. It was cool - but I'm not sure that is something you can easily replicate...

Best first date I ever had was when I took my ex-girlfriend's friend out to dinner at a small diner, then we danced for an hour, and then walked around a small lake (or large pond I was sure) and talked about stuff.
We switched to sneakers of course when we were walking around the lake. It was a clear night too! Super awesome! Always check the weather before your first date and plan accordingly. If it rains get an umbrella just big enough to fit you both and pray she doesn't bring one. I've always been lucky with that though.

It depends on 2 things:
1. A place that shares a common interest between the 2 of you.
2. Your cash supply.
If you can find out these two things, then the place should be fairly easy to pick out.
Also, dont pick anything boring or too romantic. You dont want her feeling bored by you or feeling uncomfortable.

A really good place for a first date is the movies. You probably both like what you're seeing, have a reason to cry together and get more emotionally attached and build up your relationship and best of all: you can hold hands and nobody will notice. =P Being in the dark with your lover, facing only the lovely story before you... it's really a great thing to do.
But not just for a first date of course.

Well... I guess I'm the odd man out then (what else is new?)...
As I live close to the seaside, I'd go take a girl to a walk around the seaside during the evening. It's a quiet, safe boardwalk with lots of lighting, so it's safe, and gives plenty of privacy with its benches and low population density. The atmosphere is also incredible - imagine walking down a boardwalk next to calm waves, the moonlight shining down, birds chirping, and warm gentle winds blowing pass. Nice way to relax after a stressful day, eh?

Admittedly, dating isn't as institutionalized here as it is for you yankee doodles, but neither of your popular venues (MOVIES, FUN FAIR, DINER) sound that enticing to me.
Our first "dates" were based on walking hand-in-hand around lakes, through vineyards or on sitting in each other's dorm room and blabbering our mouths off until 3:00 a.m.

I find that the mall is a great place cause you are constantly walking so if your nervous it doesn't show as much and you can pay attention to other things and see what you have in common. sorry for referring to 'Hitch' but you can also give your date space and show them that your interested but not clingy. Also the food court gives a lot of choices for food so if your into different things you can get totally different food! If not the mall then I feel that a nice dinner out is always a good choice

You are assuming that the two people are already well acquainted and possibly friends, otherwise you could not have that kind of date.
A fair or a diner lets you do something and maybe have some fun together. If you do not know each other that well it can be very hard to just talk and get to know each other that way, but if you do something together you do not have to talk and at the same time you cannot avoid getting to know each other to some degree.
So to sum up: your idea for a data sounds very nice and kind of romantic, but for the first couple of dates it just won't work for most people.

It seems to me that watching a film at "the movie" or even in your own apartment or whatever seems to be a good first date.However, Don't choose a full blown romantic film it is likely to be awkward for the both of you. Honestly, it appears to me that alot of the time Awkwardness ends up being the down fall of a lot of "dates" but to be honest a lot of people in England don't really do dates. So often is best to just simply Watch a film with them that you both enjoy.To be honest though a lot of these "first dates" end up happening before either party has expressed their romantic love in any physical form and often a going to the Cinema is a nice way to have a date but with neither person admitting and often it is a good time you relate to the other person you enjoy it and as other people have said you bond during it.
So clearly the best place to go on a first date is either your current living quarters to watch a film or to the Cinema to watch a film

Dates that take place by bodies of water get an automatic +1 on their successful date rating.Yes. It's too romantic >w<

I think each person should still give you a 'vibe' of what sort of things they would like.
I believe everyone is unique and prefers different places, so its the best to go with your gut instinct on what is the best place to go! Dont forget the most important thing is for both of you to be comfortable, the first date is more about you and her rather than where. The where bit can always be made up later when you get to know the person a bit better and thats when you can try to plan for thge perfect day tailored to both of you!
When unsure, go shoppping@_@ it used to work for me and is a nice icebreaker@.@
