The Big Three Every one knows about "The Big Three". These are the
normal, safe dates that will cause no waves. They aren't very creative,
but they are universally accepted:
A Movie Inviting someone to a movie is definitely safe. It is probably the
#1 first date. You can go to a first-run film or a 99¢ movie. One
good way to make it a little interesting is to let your date choose the
film, or put a bunch of movie names in a hat and pick one at random when
you get together. You might also check out the "Alternative"
movie scene, especially if you live in a good-size city. Most cities have
a small theater that plays foreign or limited-run films. Local museums
may also have off-the-wall films. A museum in our area, for example, plays
movies outside in the summer and people bring picnics and blankets to
watch the films. They also have an animation festival every year that
is lots of fun.
A nice dinner Another classic. As mentioned above, dinner out means that you are
going to have to think of something to talk about for an hour or two.
Sometimes that can be hard, especially on the first date. One way to lessen
that problem is to go on a double date.
Clubs and Bars These dates can be wonderful or a little tricky. These are a great
way to "loosen" up that date but you'll have to be careful that
neither of you end up passed out on the bathroom floor. If you really
want to loosen up your date, you should definitely consider using other
products that are much more effective. I use them and am very, very satisfied.
It's a good, safe bet.
