So what makes a 'good' first date activity?
Pub? Cinema? Dinner? Band?

Cinema's no good really
You're just sat there not talking.
Pub, dinner, band are all ok. Unless you RUIN the gig by cramping her style and putting your arms all round her and your chin on top of her head while she's trying to ENJOY THE GIG.

One of my worst, but it was a THIRD date, so does not apply.

Museum for a date?
I suppose you could impress the other party at the end of the date by buying them a postcard or a novelty pencil from the gift shop. That would should just how serious you were about them.

I really don't see a museum working as a first-date venue. Unless you hope to pull a coachload of kids on a school trip.

nah, it's cool
you can wander round having a nice chat and looking at interesting stuff, then go out for a brew later. It avoids the awkwardness of a pub or the noisiness of a club. Also, if it's crap, you still have the evening free

I'll add it to the list of potential first-date venues.
All I need now, is a woman to take out.

I took my other arf to the National Gallery on our first date.
We are still together.

I would love that as a first date
I have yet to get Wiggy in an art gallery.

Depends on the person,
dinner is good if it's a nice place.

I reckon dinner is to omuch pressure
theatre is probably the best option, followed by coffee or a drink, then you have something to talk about.

That's because you eat with your hands

'Coffee'? right after the theatre?
You're smooth...

It's just there is very little 'escape' if it's all going wrong.
And what if your date insists on having a starter AND desert.

I'd feel obliged to join them, but I don't usually eat that much. Oh god. It could be horrible..... Right, i'm going for a lie down.

This is all too much.

I reckon going somewhere interesting, somewhere like a good market would be great.

( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Thu 12 Aug 2010, 11:33, Reply)

That is a good idea.
I could stroll around the streets of Bristol or Bath, take in the sights, have a coffee or an ice-cream, sit in a park and talk.

Pressure free. Best suggestion yet.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 12 Aug 2010, 11:35, Reply)

You'd have to find a good market though.
A walk round St. Nicholas' Market would mean 15 minutes of shit novelty candle stalls and a couple of hemp clothing outlets.

especially the Jamaican food stall!

Pub, if you hope to get laid.
Pub lunch if you want to take it slow and don't trust yourself to not get hammered and shag them.

And _this_, _this_ right here, is the differance between a bloke and a girl.

Sorry, I can't see the difference.
