What do you think?

For a first date:
- Going to the movies is very common and not very interactive. You could cuddle someone or otherwise, but the chairs usually prohibit letting "her lay on your lap". Cuddling is much more difficult with an arm rest in your side.

- Going to dinner is very intellectual. The meal is alright but we all know how to eat and sometimes is considered "too formal" if you take her somewhere nice to eat. This can get very spendy, and require a lot of thought in order to keep the night progressing without an awkward silence.


Instead, try things that are creative and you:
- Fourwheeling
- Roller Blading
- Night Swimming
- Hiking up mountains
- "Fun zones" (golf kart racing / golf-putting / arcades / etc)
- Carnivals
The list only continues

I'd say movies because a lot of guys I know had did that.
Movies = Less nerves
Dinner 1st time = More nerves and less social able and harder to find things to talk about.

Just simply take her to a nice movie. Enjoy it and the next date you'll have will be just as perfect, and less nerves.

a first date, especially for a teen should be casual and stress free. the movies are perfect for this.

yes

I have to say so. Dinner can get awkward. Especially if there is a strange silence... which more often than not there is. However, a movie, you can still enjoy each others company, get to know each other in the previews and have something to talk about on the way home (:

Great question! =) I picked dinner, though really I don't think that's a great option for teens either. Honestly if I went on a dinner date with a guy for a first date I'd feel awkward choosing something, knowing what price meal to go for etc. However, movie dates, although common are really over-rated, because you don't actually get talking to the person! Maybe movies and then like, a walk in the park or something like that! Because often you just watch a movie, which is just sitting next to someone, learning nothing about them, and then just go home after! Which in my opinion defeats the purpose of a date!

I think it depends on the degree of the familiarity they have with one another and their interests. If they're both into movies and know each other very well, why not? Movies would also create topics for conversation. So, dinner after movie!

dining out can be quite expensive (a McDo isn't really 'dining out', is it? ;-)
Since the guy should be a teenager too, having a coke, going to the movies and eating something afterwards will be more realistic

@ ArtistBboy
We have 'cuddle' chairs in Australia (the armrest comes up), but I do agree that 'thinking outside the box' is great.

One of my very first dates a decade or so ago was beach-rock climbing and lunch at KFC. I would NOT recommend dinner for a first date, and if you're a teenager, not even the first few dates. If you are going to do a dinner date, try and team up with another (mutual) friend couple, or even a group of friends. You can then do a dinner / movie, but without a lot of the stress involved in the typical date dinner.

Some other ideas:
- Picnic
- A scenic drive (may not be old enough).
- Invite them over to do something around the house. (My second girlfriend invited me over to her house one day to help paint her bedroom. Had to move everything out, clean the walls, do the painting and move everything back in, so when I say I slept with her that night, I fully mean SLEPT)
- Watch movies at home. (Seemingly forgotten is 'snuggle at my place and watch movies' which was my favourite date as a teen).

The key is, if you can think outside the box, and do something you'll know she'll enjoy, then you'll make a far better impression.

Depends what you want, if you want to hold hands and cuddle or kiss watch a film, if you want to get to know her have a meal... Well for a teenager, since we're all action... go for a film :P
