When it comes down to my first time dates/meet-ups, I would always keep it basic and simple, hanging at the mall, get something to eat or drink and get to know each other. Then the following date would be something else. But it had me thinking on some of the small date ideas and big date ideas.

Like to me, I want to go to Disneyland Theme Park but doing that on a 1st or 2nd date or even 1 month or dating, would be a big deal to do no? Like shouldn't that type of date happen after 4-6 months of dating or even 1 year?

Other ideas I've had includes;

Hollywood
Observatory
Aquarium
Queen Mary Ship
Museums
Concerts
Zoo

But these to be done as a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. type of date. What do you think? What types of dates have you done? Which would you say are a bit out of this way as a first date or 2nd date etc.

All those things are relative. If two people have the time, passion, money, and inclination, nothing's to stop them from doing something ridiculously extravagant on a second date or whatever. It's rare, but sometimes you just click that way. I like to do things pretty big, so some of the types of dates you might be thinking about are things I often introduce earlier than I suspect most would. I've gone on impromptu vegas trips with women before (it's driving distance for me).

A factor that can't go unaddressed (?) when it comes to big dates ideas is money, though. Like I mentioned, if you both can afford it, what's to stop you? But that's not always the case. Disneyland ain't cheap

I wouldn't want to spend that kind of money on any woman that I wasn't married to. That's a lot of money lost when ya break up lol, and I've even heard of many trips turning into breakup nightmares during... talk about money and fun times down the drain. Going with friends sounds like more fun!

All those sounds better for 4th or 5th dates, I think the first couple of dates should be the more traditional dinner/movie/coffee/apps type of thing........ I think people try too hard to impress at first with different or non typical types of things... to me it just adds pressure..... the standard dinner/coffee thing is fine.... the point is it get to know each other, in my opinion.

I have been wanting to go to Disneyland and considered this guy and I go but thats a BIG event and pricey so saving it for us dating for maybe 6 months to 1 year is more better suited?

You'd be paying for it all? Why can't the bill be 50/50? But yes, odds are in your favor to wait at least that long.

probably.. maybe depends on whether you already know the person, if from an online date, for sure.... if you already have spent time together (in a group or whatever, its different....)

personally, I'd love the observatory.
