I'd say it depends on how well you know the person. E.g. If I was going on a date with someone I already knew as a friend, I'd know what kinda things they'd like and dislike.

I'm not really bothered about going to fancy places on a date, just somewhere that we can both have fun. Cinemas = no no, can't talk properly. Restaurants = no no most of the time, too self conscious about the way I eat.

Fun places are good.

Cinema is good if you don't know them that well because you don't have to talk and afterwards you can talk about the film.
Something a bit different is good though...my flatmate was telling me where he'd take a lass on a date...it involved gay bars and stuff :smile:

Something like a fair is good if there's one in town. Or the circus? Just make sure she doesn't have a fear of clowns. Erm....just something to remember you by.

For a drink in the evening at a reasonably quiet bar.

The cinema is for moribund imbeciles, who are incapable of conversation and will do everything in their power to distract from an apprehension of that fact.

Choose a venue which complements discourse without being inducive to claustrophobia.
You don't have to be an imbecile to be nervous about talking to someone you like, its a common fear. I am certainly not an imbecile and have said fear and as such see the cinema as a handy solution to the problem. You, sir, are a dating snob.

In my opinion, cinema is a BAD idea for the reason being you cant chat, shopping + talking is good i suppose. Bowling, what do you think of that?

But you can have sex in a cinema, whereas if you have sex in a starbucks then you may get arrested.

Probably because OPs girlfriend comes on here and will think he is a right loser if he is asking internet friends for date advice.
