Where to go when taking someone somewhere?

Im pretty sure im going to have to suggest something that I am actually quite going to enjoy myself, so it doesnt stink of any form of desperation, I have been thinking about it for a good 10 mins so far, but wondering if anyone can come up with anymore ideas.

All sorts of ideas are welcome, the more the better, then if im able to execute any of them, the more the better.

Picnic
Zoo
London for the day (30mins on train)
Pub lunch
Walk
Tab (this is a walk with weighted bergen so probly out of the question)
Cinema
Meal
Feeding some ducks
Beep boop. I'm a bot.

    personally would aviod the cinema as that kinda restricts what you can do, i.e u can't talk and u can only watch the film unless u know each other quite well ;) :P

    pininic and zoo are cool, sos pub lunch
    would defintly rule out Tab as thats not to everyones tastes

    P.s i'm amssuming that this is a date

    All of those are good ideas, dont think there are any other things to do.. walk on the beach if you live near one.. umm if on the off chance a fair comes into town, thats fun to go on the rides together..

    Love the feeding the ducks idea, always fun times.

    Though the ducks are only a two minute walk down a path from my block, we have a river running through the grounds.

    All these are a good idea, you could combine the ducks with a pub lunch?

    I think a nice walk is good, you can really get to know each other. You could combine this with a pub lunch and there may be some ducks to feed along the way!

    Not if you add the cinema into a whole day's date. It can be a good starting point, get comfortable in each others company and give you something to talk about later on if you struggle to avoid those uncomfortable silences most people hate. (Nod there to Lexi and our favourate film :lol)


    MrG, do you have a budget? Cause i'm pretty good at this stuff but what you can choose depends on how much you have to splash obviously..

    I recently had a great day out with someone (last week infact).

    We met up and went to the cinema to watch a film, had a nice walk along the themes to waterloo where we had dinner at the oxo tower(Not cheap but my god is the view and setting worth it!) and then a nice wander around trafalgar square and a kiss and cuddle before going home..

    It's not going to get a second date but that's nothing to do with the night itself.. lol... Don't limit yourself to one specific activity, plan the whole day around her if you can and if you both have the time.

    Well I get paid a week on wednesday so budget would not be a problem in the slightest.

    But was thinking possibly if they were around at the weekend, doing something not cheap, but simple. Nearby pub, possibly walk it back if the weather is good, 30 min walk? Stop off at shop and get some buns to feed the ducks.

    Well said.


    Sound's like you've got a good plan there MrG.

    I'd just suggest thinking ahead and making sure you have a lot of questions stored up in your head to keep conversation flowing if you ever feel like things are getting stuck for whatever reason you've got something to pull outta your hat then before things get to that "I'm too uncomfortable with this silence to say anything" phase.

    I'd do that and prepare lunch together at home and watch a movie on the DVD or play a silly boardgame. Lazy sunday type thing.

    I dont know if this makes things sound weird, it might do if you know the situation. Everyone working here lives within a 5 minute walk of each other onsite.

    Lunch making facilities are a little, shall we say, non existant!

    So, any ideas for a second date.

    I have heard (from a source) that when she was asked how things went, "we are sorta friends, but seeing how it goes" while having a big smile on her face.

    So looks like game on!
