Traditional first dates tend to be coffee, drinks, dinner, maybe even a movie. What are some out-of-the-box first date ideas?

Don't think too far out of the box. You'll prob scare most women away.

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.

Depends on the woman but if it were me...
Ice hockey game
Baseball game
Basketball game college or NBA
Local play, maybe a college play or musical event
Batting cages
Hiking
Free stuff like music in the park, picnic at regional park, (ok 7 bucks for sandwiches)
Horse racing just to watch them run not necessarily betting

But it's a great litmus test. Woman like that, guy is better off knowing she is not open to having fun, trying different things early on.

Nothing that prevents in-depth conversation. Save the activity stuff for later dates.

Naw, it just shows that she is brainy. Maybe she has bought tickets to take him to the roller derby NEXT week, but this week she is not ready to put herself in a situation where she is so physically vulnerable. And maybe he is too ignorant of women's lives to realise that's what he is asking.

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.
