I think activities are better.
Great First dates I've been on
Pizza Making & bCookie baking a complimentary course
Paint & Vino
Bowling & Mini Golf
Rock Climbing & Roller Skating
Zoo/Aquarium/Museum ( best was children's museum)
Brought our dogs to the dog park and played.
Normally grab a quick bite to eat after.
I find conversation tends to flow more naturally when you are doing something together other than facing each other and sipping drinks.

Good luck!

As a guy, I can say the first two things on your list wouldn't excite me and unless something great happened, there might not be date number 2.

Do you know what things you have in common? Something like the newseum could be easy. It's not a typical museum and it certainly has conversation starters. There is a cafe there if things go well, you can suggest that or one of the pubs in the area. If the date starting to late for that, maybe a comedy club? Everyone loves to laugh and it always seems to put people in a good mood.

He who does not plan the date can not complain. He who is looking to be entertained like a 5 year old is not worthy of dating .

Chill PP. The guy is correct. I'm a woman and the first two ideas sound tedious to me, like the kind of activities you'd choose in a dying relationship just to try to prove that you still enjoyed doing new things together.

Also, it is thoughtful to consider the interests of the person with whom you are going on a date. If you can't do that, you are not worthy of dating.

Just because you don't like it doesn't mean everyone else will hate it. IF your view is I can only do activities that I like you shouldn't be dating.

FYI< I've done all the dates pp suggested and had a great time and so did the guys. Not everyone is a closeminded and immature as you and pp.
