Just curious - Do you guys sometimes select the location of a first date with the hope of impressing your date? I have a date tomorrow night, a first date and he selected one of the fancier restaurants in town. I'm just happy to be going out so I gladly agreed!
Personally I like to keep things casual the first few dates. I feel like it makes it easier to get to know each other. We've met and I already like him, so he doesn't need to impress me.
Don't read too deeply into it. He probably does want to set a good impression, but he may just like the place. You will hear a lot of different answers on this forum. Most of them will have some merit. But the bottom line is none of us know this man or how or what he is thinking.
Just go and enjoy yourself. Don't read too deeply into the place he chose.

Depends on the date, a lot of times I will do just drinks at a bar and make it cheap. Especially if it is something online and I really don't know her and she doesn't know me.
I went on a date with a girl not too long ago for our first date and we walked by the beach area and we got along well and I hadn't eaten so we got dinner. Nothing too fancy, about 20 dollars per person and then we walked to a few bars for the rest of the night.
I think it's more about how you pull it off. If you go to a fancy restaurant and spend a ton of money, but make it obvious that you're trying to spend a ton it doesn't look as good. The idea is just to do something where you can have fun.
I've been taken to some pretty upscale restaurants on first dates, and it's because the guy wanted to eat at a nice restaurant. I was upfront that I thought the restaurant was too expensive, and accepted the fact that is where they wanted to eat.

I'm not trying to read deeply into it. I'm just curious what the guys on the board do/have done.

I'm not a fan of sitting across from a stranger and forcing conversation over dinner. You don't loosen up, you almost need a second date just to get comfortable.
I like doing something that makes takes your focus off each other but you can still talk..Aquarium, zoo, bowling, museum.
My favorite is to take a walk on a pier while eating a corndog..But that's just me.
