<p>I don't know about the rest of CC but I HATE the dinner or movie first dates because one they are SO cliche and two because you two don't get to talk at the movies and dinner can get awkward if the conversation goes cold.</p>
<p>Onto the crux of my point. Usually on a first date I take the girl to Fenway Park (I live in Boston). I figure the game is a natural point of conversation, but does not limit the conversation. Also the walk through down by the river at night can be really scenic and pretty. While logic dictates that this is a good idea, something about taking a girl to a baseball game on a first date seems like a square peg in a round hole. This is why I want you female members of CC to tell me if I'm being an idiot...</p>
<p>I think Fenway Park for a first date is a good idea. The walk through down by the river seems romantic but you should save that til’ a while after you’ve been dating a girl, so you can show her your softer side :)</p>
<p>i think the fenway park= sweet
but I go with Warts and all the other girls who say don’t do the river thing on the first date save the best for last.</p>
<p>i’m gay so i’ll throw my advice in there… hahaaaa</p>
<p>ok so a first date i’d totally go with taking her out to dinner… PAYING FOR IT!!! it would be a nice chance to talk… no movies… maybe bowling? I have fun bowling… i’d probably get a crowd though bowling is a dumb 2 people thing…</p>
<p>I took my old girlfriend to the first game at the New Yankee Stadium (I wasted over $200 on tickets + trains+ food), than we went for coldstone for ice cream and finally we went to her house to do… stuff.</p>
<p>W00t for burning over 200$ on a girl you dated for 18 days!!</p>
<p>But tickets were originally worthover 500$ (my dad go them free) but I really wanted them, so he said I’d have to pay a 1/3…</p>
<p>when i first met my gf we went to a knicks game. i chose it because i like basketball and being in the garden. a first date has a really high chance of failure, so i made sure it wouldn’t be a total waste if it didn’t work out with the girl.</p>
<p>Fenway Park is cute, but it is kind of atypical for a first date. I’m not into baseball (as a girl), and though I personally think this is adorable, she might feel pressured to know something about the game. I like dinner (lame, whatever…any meal works though. Breakfast is adorable), coffee shop chill sessions, or bowling (though this is better as a group date).</p>
<p>Glassesarechic just reminded me of something - breakfast! Going out to pancake breakfast is like the most cute, romantic thing ever! Morning would be the best, but if you guys are not early risers than IHOP at any time of the day would be cool. That doesn’t solve the problem of conversation though…so maybe this would be better for a second date.</p>
<p>^what do you mean, problem of conversation? I get to know a girl really well before I ask her on a date. I talk with them like any other girl friend, so there’s never any “awkward silences”. What, does everyone just ask someone out without getting to know them first?</p>
