Typical Places to Go for the First Date
The other most popular date is "getting something to eat." By going
out for dinner, you have the opportunity to talk and get to know each other a
little better, while you can still have the safety of the distraction of
selecting and eating food, and talking to the waiter. I certainly can't knock
this as a suggestion. But the downside of going out to dinner on a first date is
that you are put on the spot: You're facing each other and being forced to talk.
If you are anxious about making small talk, this may not be the best place for
you to start. As with the movies, you might do well to consider something a
little more creative for your first date. Get the best of both possible worlds
by doing some activity besides eating.
Another popular first date is "going out for drinks." Many people
use alcohol to ease those first-date anxieties about relating to a relative
stranger. Consider, however, that is would be better for you to face the
situation of your date without any crutch, following the principle that if you
are liked for truly who you are, then the relationship has a much better chance
of progressing. Also consider whether being in a bar with singles trying to meet
each other would stimulate any memories that would subliminally make you
uncomfortable or distract your attention.
