It depends on how you meet and what kind of interests the both of you have. If you're both athletic then suggesting a hike might be nice but if one of you is panting halfway up the hill it's not going to be a smooth date.
If both are panting, it may be because it is a very good date.
The part I bolded is key. Since you were already well beyond the "getting to know you" phase and comfortable with each other before dating, it wasn't a big deal to have first dates that were a bit more substantial, outside-the-box and lengthy such as the minor league baseball game.
In situations where the guy barely knows the woman (e.g. met & chatted for 10 minutes at bar) or hasn't met the woman at all in person (e.g. OLD) before the first date, it's probably a good idea to keep the first date simple and casual such as a cafe and/or drinks or a light activity that allows for plenty of socializing and getting to know each other better. While a creative mind is a great asset in dating, don't try too hard to come up with something different or unorthodox...that may come across as desperate or weird and may make her feel a bit uncomfortable.
I agree. A casual first date with someone you barely know also allows either party to make a quick escape if you aren't having fun without feeling like the other person is holding you hostage.
I remember reading an advice column about a woman complaining about the 1st date a guy had planned for them. A picnic and a row boat. She freaked out. Too much to deal with.
While I have done boating a lot scarier than a rowboat on a lake, I would not like to go out in a rowboat with a man I don't know at all. If he is aggressive or crude, he has too much control and I would be swimming to escape.
While it is not a likely scenario, especially if people are around, a man in a small boat could very easily drown a woman who is in the water.
First dates with a stranger should be in safe surroundings with an easy escape route. The row boat in the lake is for a few dates in when he has shown that he has decent manners.
Not to mention that picnic in the park and a rowboat are very romantic, but maybe a little too romantic for a first date. I'd be thrilled by the picnic date, but only after I knew the man a little better.
My first date with my current gf was taking her ice skating. She didnt know how to ice skate so I had to hold her the whole time. Set the tone quick for physical contact.
Best thing to do is find out her interests and personality , then make a date. If ur like me and majority of women you take out are on cold approaches a bar for some drinks is usually the best bet. Don't get too crazy with someone you don't know . The only reason I didn't do drinks with the girl I'm dating now is bexause after I got her number we texted a lot
For many women, not having a certain depth of conversation is like a man who has never seen what the woman looks like. There's no way for us to know if you are sexually attractive.
muddled water is not the same as depth. Hope one day you get what that means.

I have actually found women to be worse conversationalists than most guys. In general women tend to talk about themselves , rarely ask for input and rely on the guy to carry the conversation.
Really? I would like to avoid in depth conversation on the first date. Save that ish for later.
You had better have some in depth conversation, otherwise you could waste lots of time, and money on multiple dates. Better to at least have general conversation to find out of there is any interest and potential to date at all.
I think a relaxing lunch, some conversation and maybe a stroll afterwards and keep visiting. If things are going really well, impromptu nightclub or other activity may be in order.
