Name some places you think are the best for first dates?
My husband and I started dating when we were teens, so going to the movies was always our favorite thing to do. Our first date was probably a movie, even though it could have also been considered his high school graduation party. All depending on how you look at it because it wasn't a spoken out loud date, but he was clearly interested and drove me home. Yes, he left his own party to drive me home.
Dinner & a movie is cliche but works! It also depends on where you two met. i.e. if you met at a birdwatching expo, you may want to go to something bird related for your date!
I feel shopping malls could be a good place for a date in some cities and towns where the shopping mall have a movie theater, arcade, restaurants, interesting stores, and attractions.
In places which are very hot or very cold, the mall maybe a good place for a first date if your date does not like going outdoors when it is very hot, very cold, and raining.
