Internet dating can be fun and planning that first date requires some thought. If you both feel comfortable with each other and know each other’s interests, it’s a doddle. If you both love movies, then it’s a movie. However, for most first-time dates, the cheapest is a safe option. Most people who get together don’t know what to expect after being together online. It’s always good to have a set time with a set start and end beforehand. Maybe just an hour or two to start. Maybe meet at a local cafe or restaurant. If the weather is nice, a walk in the park with a picnic lunch can be fun. I always use caution and meet in a public place. I don’t give out my address until I get to know them better, you never know.

Also, I limit the date to 1 hr. and tell them that my schedule is busy. This way, if I’m disappointed in the meeting, I can leave without hurting their feelings. Being creative is a wonderful way to create a wonderful first impression. How about going to a concert or sporting event? These places have a lot of positive energy and are exciting if you like the specific team, sport or music. If you want to have a cheap date, there are many options. You can go to a cheap local restaurant, a movie matinee, a picnic on the beach or in the park, visit a museum or any local event. However, if you want to go all out, the options are endless: You can fly first class to Paris for dinner; rent a small yacht with dinner on board; balloon rides; take a helicopter ride to somewhere cool. You get the idea, but it’s best left to how rich your date is and how into you she is. Any mutual interest that you and your date have would be the best starting point for a date.
