FIRST DATE IDEAS FROM MEMBERS

1st dates, something active and fun where you can still talk . subsequent dates could be dinner, movies, shows.

Meeting somewhere with out an accompanying 2nd person, somewhere casual, simple ,breakfast place or Starbucks

Something relaxing and enjoying the moment. Nothing to stressful or judgmental. The vibe has to be down to earth.

The thing is, if we’ve found the right person none of this matters. If we end up sitting in a parking lot for an hour trying to get out of a music venue, or we are standing in line at the grocery store behind someone paying with pennies, or we end up in the ER after dinner due to an as yet unknown allergy to tiramisu (never been a fan, so maybe I’m allergic?) (just sayin….), well, it literally doesn’t matter where we are or what we are doing. Home is home. Just want to have that back. (Or “have it”. Maybe I never really had it before?) But until we figure it out…. We meet in a public place and then maybe walk to a bar or restaurant to see if we have that all so important element of chemistry... if we do, well then maybe we go do something outdoorsy for date #2: a hike with or without dogs, a bike ride, a paddle, or let me row you across a lake while you feed me margaritas! ;). Or maybe we revert to those fun things that people don’t really do all that often unless you are dating…. Bowling, Ice or roller skating, darts, bocce. (I don’t golf, and have not been involved in the pickleball scene.) But yes, please can this be a thing where you also plan a few dates, so that we each have a stake in it? And by the way, I am one of the 7 adults in America who don’t drink coffee. But don’t worry, if you invite me to grab a coffee for a quick meet and greet, I will still accept and just order a chai latte. (I’m not a monster, you know!) (and I understand etiquette!) (and choose to break rules all the time, but at least I know the rules) However, btw, bonus points if you are one of the other 6 Non-coffee fans! ;). Cuz coffee is gross. ;) I’ll humor you and buy it so you can keep some at my house (again, I’m not a monster) but I love to pretend I have no idea how to make it, so don’t even ask.

Something casual. Coffee or tea. Stroll through a park. Easy activity could be nice… putt-putt maybe.

Depends on the inclination of my date. Not much that I'm not up for. I enjoy all the food and all the drink. I'm also fine hiking or getting some exercise in.

I’m drawn to intentional moments more than loud impressions. An ideal date for me can be as simple as meeting at a cozy café, talking for hours, laughing naturally, and feeling completely present with each other. I enjoy good conversation, emotional maturity, peace, and genuine energy. I also like a little fun and movement—bowling, taking a spontaneous drive, exploring a new city, or planning a weekend getaway somewhere with good food and good vibes. I appreciate a woman who can enjoy both excitement and calmness: one moment competing playfully over bowling scores, and the next sharing meaningful conversation over coffee or a quiet dinner.

I think the best first dates are the ones that let you explore together. My ideal afternoon would start with a casual 'tasting tour' at a spot like Parkville Market, followed by a walk at the Riverfront Plaza to catch the views of the Connecticut River. I’m looking for someone who enjoys discovering local gems and appreciates a relaxed environment where we can just be ourselves and see where the evening goes.

Walking on the seawall, hiking can be fantastic. Lunch at cafe or at Granville island. Anything memorable.

Meet up, catch the vibe, and decide if we’re going forward or keeping it moving—no hard feelings I like to meet sooner than later because in-person tells me everything I’m a pretty solid judge of character, just saying Coffee, a drink, or a cute little walk in public—keep it simple, keep it real

Maybe golf or a hike...I'm open to pretty much anything we can meet somewhere in the middle and figure it out. Summer is right around the corner so as long as I'm outside I'm good!

Go for a walk on the beach, go for coffee go to the movies Go out for a drink go do something spontaneous Fun

Listening to live music and dancing after having a nice meal. Taking a walk and getting to know each other better.

I like coffee shops. I also enjoy the coffee shop in bookstores- there are still a few around. I also love going to museums. I like anything that has to do with Jazz.

Nice tasty brunch, good conversation and hopefully addictive chemistry. And hopefully the chemistry that we may have will lead to dinner as well so that we could enjoy each other a little more by that time a decision should be made to continue or Nawwww..

A day date, hiking, walking, farmers market, or flea market, or visiting a new town or historic spot. Then dinner and drinks.

Dinner and drinks, walk on the beach to get to know one another. Sometimes I enjoy questions and answers while out for dinner

Yahuah is the Father and Yahusha is the Son John 3:16. I believe if we are going to follow the creator then we should call him by his real name. If you do a deep dive on his true name, you’ll find out that in 325 A.D. Constantine the emperor of Rome was the one who changed everything to worship from the Sabbath on Saturday to worship on Sunday because they were pagans, and they worship the sun God, so he made a decree that everybody should worship on Sunday, and he also made her decree that we should never call him by his real name so he gave the world the name. Jesus the J is only 500 years old. It’s not part of the Hebrew alphabet he commands us not to take away or add to his name to keep his name. It’s steamed to hold it above all other names when you say JC. You are not calling him by his real name. I hope this doesn’t deter any real woman who calls yourself a Christian. It’s so hard for everybody to look beyond the veil. Truth is so hard to swallow when it’s been taught to us for centuries, I have been awaken to the truth, and I hope that I find the right one who will under understand that is very important to call the creator by his real name. Thank you visiting my profile. Have a blessed day.

Video visit over morning coffee, see if we vibe, then decide what's next and always wish each other well in any case.

Possibly going out to eat, maybe go bowling something fun and see where it leads and see where it goes from there
