Which of these dates do you think is the best one as a first date?

[Anonymous]

My ideal dates in order:

1st - shooting pool + pub/eating out — a perfect 1st date to me, fun and casual
2nd - dinner in some bistro/restaurant — a more special date, dressed up nicely
3rd - bowling — I never played bowling and would like to, a fun date
4th - bathing in a quarry + car ride — I love car rides
5th - visit to a retro restaurant — this one is little more special for me, I love retro

1st, it's fun af, that's what I did with my girlfriend, we went to a place called the link played some pool and some what do they call it, table hockey or something? We ordered nachos just so we'd eat in between, I was still hungry af so I went to a pizza place to it where friends of mine work so it was a good atmosphere, then we went to a pub took a few drinks talked (let me tell you I was smooth af) and played a few board games that made me laugh and learn stuff about her.. And the rest is history

Ohhh and darts, she beat me at darts though, it was a traumatic experience, I don't like to talk about it

These are all good ideas, but bowling is the riskiest one. People can get competitive with each other, or embarrassed and upset if they keep throwing gutter balls. Plus when you're focusing on a game like that, you're focusing on each other less.

It's actually better, she was an absolute beginner, so obviously the competent helpful gentleman that I am had to get close and show her systematically how to do it, it was funny watching her miss a lot though

One that BOTH can appreciate.
IOW - find out what she likes and what he likes FIRST.

How do you want to do that without going on some kind of date first?

Asking has been known to help in such situations...
