Parking.........

There's a walk in the park, a walk at the mall, bike riding, parachuting, horse riding and also dance lessons

A date I had was like this. Started sitting on a bench in a plaza, we talked a little, escalated there and when she started to get hot I told her I wanted to go somewhere with her. We when to a place I knew a few blocks away, there we played some air hockey, I let her score a few points on the first match, and totally destroyed her on the second. I told her daddy its the king of air hockey and she can be my queen if shes up for it. We played another game in cabin with laser guns about zombie pirates and shit and then we went up for a walk. I told her the hotel was near and that we were going there. We smashed, the end. I like to do what I enjoy and let them join the ride, also I like to switch places 2 or 3 times mid date, so the date doesnt go stale. Hope it helps you.

If this is a first date or first meeting, go simple and bide your time.

Bars are overhyped. Most of them have the music pumping so loud, you can't hear yourself think. Much less talk. Some of these places have cover charges and the drinks can be 10x to 20x retail plus tip. Yeah, she can get tipsy and might be more likely to do stuff, but for first dates, you really need to be able to talk. Bar is a good second to third time.

What I always would do is take them first date to a coffee shop.

Yes, cliche. But hear me out.

Coffee is cheap as hell. If she turns out to be crazy or you guys aren't hitting it off, you are only out a few bucks. Much, much less than a dinner or bar tab. Don't buy for her. Let her share the cost of dating. They want to meet people too and it's equal opportunity, right?

It's safe. The rare chance she starts acting crazy stalker cut-your-penis-off if you so much as talk to another girl, it's in a public place where people will see and you can make your escape.

You can talk at these places and get a better feel for where her head is at. After all, YOU are the prize.

NEVER for first meeting/date go movies or dinner. Movies are the most horrible first date, since you can't talk and they are pretty expensive. Dinners are slightly better, but can get expensive if you are doing several dates with several girls in your hunt, even if you do make her pay her way. But NEVER first time or two.

As far as some of these crazy, out-of-touch stuff like dance classes, etc? Fuck that shit. Too much money. Only take her dancing if you already have a membership to a ballroom dance club and do it anyways and ONLY after a few dates. Not just for her at an early stage. You do dance classes for your personal improvement, not for women (Which ballroom dancing helped me TREMENDOUSLY). She has not proved herself worthy of that yet. Plus, you have friends there and don't want to be the desperate dude taking a new girl each week there when girls outnumber guys 3 to 1 those places and you have plenty to dance with and she probably does not know the steps and would be lost anyways.
