I totally read that as: "Wait, you pulled of a rectum?"
I don't know what that means he did, but I also was impressed.
Suggestion for the OP: take her to lots of different little places is always a good idea. It means that if you're not having a huge amount of fun at one place, then you can always move onto somewhere else better. Also, mini-golf is always recommended.
God, could you be any more of a whiny pussy bitch? You sound like a 15 year old who thinks he has a girlfriend because the blonde on the bus kissed him once. It's not like he has never has any female contact before, this has all been explained.
Anyway, picnics are always quite a nice idea if the weathers tolerable. You can make different foods (is a good way to make a positive impression), it's romantic and it's a little leftfield. If the weathers not appropriate for this idea then an indoor picnic is an alternative that can be pulled off if you think of a good enough location first. This could even be like a mall or something if you can find enough space. Just make sure you do have enough space, the last thing you want is to be wandering around with a picnic for hours looking for somewhere to go with it.
Also, I don't get why people keep shitting on the movie idea? It's simple, you go for drinks or coffee first and chat, then you go see a movie (something light hearted, indie-comedies are usually quite good for dates) and then you go for a meal/more drinks afterwards. That way, if the conversation is hard to come by because of nerves or a lack of familiarity then you can just talk about the movie you just watched.
Congratulations. Hope it works out for you.
Thanks hun, but don't worry it's not serious yet so I'll still be there to give it to you when you need it.
But anyways, no offense:
Because the first time out, I want to spend my time getting to know my date. Movies are simply not conducive to conversations. If you sandwich it between drinks and meal or more drinks, you're talking about like a 5 or 7 hour evening out if you're really going to dedicate the time needed to conversation.Also, I don't get why people keep shitting on the movie idea?

Coffee is a good idea if you're below the drinking age. It's a stimulant so you feel good while drinking it and if you're on a date you will associate those feelings with whoever you're with (the same goes for alcohol, just don't get wasted). Also, coffee is a very social drink. There's lot's of coffee houses and cafés around and they're usually nice, cosy places to sit and talk while you drink your coffee.
I routinely go for coffee with one of my best friends at least twice a week. She buys the coffee mondays and I buy them wednesdays and we just sit there and have these amazing conversations which probably wouldn't be anywhere near as good if we were sat drinking a milkshake or a coke.
I'm suddenly aware that I'm in danger of running off on a tangent due to my profound adoration for coffee.
Huh. The only nice coffee shops here are either Starbucks, which I fear because I can't stand the wifi laptop assholes, and a place called Juice and Java. JJ is fun, but no matter what time or day you go there, forty or so goth kids will be hanging out there.
Which is the lesser of two evils?
I'm not sure. Me and my friend are quite pretentious, judgemental and bitchy so mocking the laptop assholes and goth kids would just be part of our fun. If you're a funny enough person or if the two of you are funny enough together then that can really make the time enjoyable. But then again, with most other people that wouldn't necessarily work, we spend 90% of our time laughing and we have exactly the same sense of humour etc. If I did the same thing with other friends it would get boring pretty quickly and I'm not sure how I would go about doing it on dates (I've always gone to bars). Although I assume coffee houses are less full of assholes in the evenings when the date is likely to take place.
Oh yes, this reminds me of meeting gay people for friends or potential dates in Dupont Circle, which is an epicenter for gay life in DC. After having drinks and chatting, it's fun to sit along the perimeter of the circle and insert in our conversation commentary about the freaky people we see walk by: closet jocks who live their lives in the gay clubs, men whose bellies are sagging out beneath their tight-fitting shirts, men wearing clothes normally reserved for women, etc.
I guess I've never been on a real first date since high school doesnt really count.
I cant really imagine going on a date and not knowing the person.
Also, typical first dates don't really go on for 4-7 hours. That's not even desirable. It puts undue strain on just about everything.
So, drinks, movie, drinks, talking is kind of a leap. I know that I have work M-F, and on the weekends, I tend to stay out later, but if I don't know that about the girl, I would plan an all day all night all morning kind of thing. It seems superfluous and assumptive/presumptuous.
My last first date lasted 12 hours. First dates can be long and still be productive, you just have to be able to read the situation and end things before you run out of things to say or before things get weird.
But still, no movie. No movie no movie no movie. That is unless you know the chick really really digs you and you can get out of any kind of movie awkwardness unscathed and/or you don't really like her and don't care. My last relationship actually started with both of those scenarios, but she grew on me as the night progressed (because she made the date go on after the movie).
Well, I mean, the first date I had with the latest lady lasted for around a whole day, too. And I forgot the OP has known the girl for a while, so a long date is perfectly acceptable. I was just giving general advice. That one is on me.
Also, a terrible first date I went on?
Well, there's some back story:
I got this girls number, a week later, called her, asked her out, got the brush off. Took a hint. Went around, lost a lot of weight, Facebooked her. We started chatting over that fabulous ap, and I found out she was going to be in town, so I told her I deleted her number due to inactivity and would need it again if we were going to hang out. I told her I really wanted to take her to a movie.
So, we met up at the theater.
The following 2 hours were completely silent. I was sitting next to a girl I hadn't seen in well over a year - she was super nice, very pretty, all that good stuff, but I couldn't really say anything to her. There were people everywhere. It was just not fun. I mean, the movie was okay - I love Anton Yelchin and Robert Downey Jr., although Kat Dennings tends to grate on my nerves - but when we left, I had no idea what to talk about. I didn't know if she was into analyzing movies or who her favorite actors were. The conversation was stilted.
I invited her back to my place to hang out, and she followed me there. She's allergic to cats, I found out. I have three of them, or rather, my family does. She told me earlier she was allowed to stay out as late as she wanted, but decided to call it a night at 11. It might have had something to do with the fact that her face was swelling up and all that jazz, but she told me she had fun and that I should call her again.
I did, she she gave me the brush off.
We're still friends. She invited me to a clue-themed party at her house, and this time, I was far more charming and funny and less nervous, as there were more people around, but I knew nothing was going to happen. If there was a moment, it had passed, and I was no longer interested. Which also helped ease me up.
But I mean, movies if you don't know the person? Not the best idea.
Kat Dennings is super hawt
That movie wasnt nearly as inhumane to watch as I thought it would be.
stop it you are feeding his ego
I like doing the whole "Drinking and/or Smoking Pot with her"(if she doesn't do either than maybe drink a small amount myself because I R boozehound) and go Ice Skating, then hang out at a nice park after a nice dinner, something different like Thai or Indian or something.
Of course at said park you have some friends waiting and have you a good ol' fashioned gang rape. Nothing more romantic than that.
