I think the best first date I ever had we went to the park. (no money) ate popcorn that I popped in my microwave. We sat on bench and people watched. We would guess silly things like what their major was or what kind of underwear they were wearing. It was great fun and super cheap.

A walk through central park. You can buy your date a nice hot dog or just walk through the park admiring nature. Its casual and inexpensive.

I think a good date is to invite them to a party or other outing with your friends like a barbecue. not only is it cheap or free but your friends get to meet them and you get their input about your date as well.

I would do something exiting. For example ski diving, rock climbing or a bike ride in the foothills. Such activities release endorphins which make people happy and really when you get down to it a lot of attraction is about chemical reaction.

I am a female and live in Rhode Island in the United States of America.

On my first date with anybody, I would want to go either bowling or mini golfing. This way it is relaxing and a fun environment where you really can get to know another side of the person. I would either meet there or drive in the same car depending on where we lived. If we drove separately it wouldn't make the car ride home awkward if the night didn't go that well.

Time doesn't really seem a limit. If your having fun with the person then going out for ice cream or a late night dinner wouldn't be that bad to kinda sit and relax and just talk. I feel it is better to go out after the activity that way you have something to talk about if you run out of ideas. It should be fun yet relaxing where your not pressured to do anything. It would be set up to like hang out with your friends.

For a first, cause the can be awkward, i always try and go to something that might provide a talking point or something to reference if the conversation runs out a little. A modern art gallery is always a good choice because you can see lots of different, accessible things and there is enough space and time to chat and laugh about the art. Can cost absolutly nothing, or depending on special exhibitions around $10.
