    Well I'm probably the last person who should answer this, but a public place is probably the best bet. Meet at a coffee shop or a diner, some place small with others around. See how things go and take it from there

    Coffee place (NOT STARBUKS)
    Restaurant with a wiew of something
    Park
    A concert
    A fair
    Watch a sports game togheder (Good way if you both likes sports 99% sucess rate (If you are for the same theam of course))
    A walk in the city
    Jazz-Symphonic concert
    Dinner at your place,if you know how to cook
    Pub
    Gay bar
    Gaming night (for gamers)


    That's what I would like to do. Altough Those not in public places would only be appliable for someone you already know,like someone you knew,but decided to go on a date.
    The other ones are appliable to your case.

    Hey Prakas =)

    I recommend meeting in a public place, makes the whole situation more relaxed, I'd say. Maybe something not overly romantic and where you're able to talk (at least that's what I would go for, just suggesting...)
    Something fun... hmm... depends on you what's fun I guess :wink:
    Maybe go to a ice rink or something? Bowling? Art galery? Amusement Park/Carnival or something like that, if there's such a thing open right now, don't know..? Go to the Zoo? Karaoke? A local event? Aquarium? Planetarium? Game of Pool?
    Don't really know what kind of stuff you like so it's kinda hard, but maybe something appeals to you...
    But it doesn't really matter what you do I think, as long as you're charming and attentive :wink:

    I always thought it'd be fun to have a first date at a park :slight_smile:

    depends on where you live, warm or cold. warm a fair or amusement park. If it's cold an eat and park kind of place that has many food choices.

    Last friday I went on a first date with a guy I met online. We met outside a train station (but really, this could've been any public place).

    Didn't really have an activity planned, but we went on a walk through the inner city then had a drink in some bar. Nothing very special but it was fun :slight_smile:

    Just like the other suggestions, I would suggest a coffee place for a casual drink/talk. Then probably walk around and go to a park. Sit down, enjoy the view and talk some more. Maybe even wait for the sun to set but I think its too mushy for a first meet-up.

    Thanks...It's hard to pick...I don't want to pick a cheesy place, but very public places I'm almost always destined to see someone I know...so many options ;P, so far we don't have much in common.

    Have you asked him if there is any particular place he prefers? Maybe from there you can think of a suitable location for your meet-up.

    Just a pick a casual place where you think you both might be comfortable to hangout at and talk. And why don't you think he won't like you? You haven't shared your photos of each other?

    I think that an open park is the best place. You can usually get far enough away from other people that you can talk privately, you don't have to talk loud to be heard over other people or music like in a bar or restaurant, and if it should suddenly get creepy, you can walk away without having to wait for the tab. It is also "free", and you can each bring what you want to eat to the meeting and enjoy the outdoors. It is not unusual for two guys to be seen together in a park; bring a frisbee or a football to throw if you are so inclined. You can always go together for dinner later if you hit it off.

    We have :wink:, but I'm not as cheerful as others you could say. I'm ultra shy, won't figure me out in 1 day.
