1st Jan 1970.
I would say going out for lunch somewhere nice. It’s a common activity that can go on for as long as you need, whether that be a long time or a short one. You get to talk to one another, and the focus can just be on you and your meals.
The second date would be home cooking and a terrible movie. Like, Birdemic levels of bad. Something we can watch and have fun with, but can talk over it or start doing other stuff without missing anything good.
Coffee is nice. My favorite is the one where we go no where in particular on my motorcycle.
So like Tron?
I like to pretend, yes.
“Wow it’s been a minute since I saw an aerobie!”
I like smaller art museums. They’re full of things to chat about, usually have some ways to bring out some red flags if they’re there, and it’s usually quiet enough to have a conversation.
Tbh. just breaking the ice quickly and having fun afterwards, and getting to know the person in the process

I liked inviting people for a walk around Oakland Lake Merritt. Takes about an hour and the scenery is constantly changing, creating opportunities for conversation.

Hanging out at home.
I like a movie (or a show or whatever) and dinner/drinks after, because then you by default have something to talk about.
Really? I’d consider a movie like 2nd or 3rd date material, but I guess if you’re having an event after it would make sense.
It may help that I’ve never really “cold” dated. Every “first date” I’ve ever been on was with someone whom I was already at least decently friendly, so usually it’s more like I found a movie or event or whatever that we were both interested in. It had not occurred to me that sitting in a dark theater with someone you weren’t terribly familiar with could be something that needed vetting, but upon reflection I can see where that may cause problems. My naive ass just likes movies.
The very first date I had was an escape room under a restaurant. We got there early so we opted for drinks beforehand, then did the escape room together.
We’re still hapoy together after 5+ years and we recently adopted a cat, so I’d say it worked out alright.
Coffee of 1 hour max, first date it’s only to know if both are compatible nothing else.
That’s a tough one. I’d have to say April 25th, because it’s not too hot, and not too cold. All you need is a light jacket.
Dog date. I’ve had good luck with those, and it kind of takes off the pressure.
- someone clog the toilet
- someone fix the toilet
- see if you can decide what to have for dinner
- someone do the dishes
- see if you can decide what to watch on tv
if you can make it through all of that and still want to spend time together, it might work out
