Something unusual besides the drinks at a bar or movies. Unfortunately, there is not much around here but bars

That's a fabulous idea. I had a date in a blue bell wood with a Russian who read me Yesenin's poetry on a wooden bench. Swoon.

Do something that willnaturally lead to conversation

I just invited someone to hear me sing a concert for our 2nd date. Risky, but it went rather well.

Men also worry about the "safety" factor-
We're not always perps

Maybe a dinner theater, just go out to dinner, a brewery with music--something still public

Lunch, then a museum. I am never so lively and energetic as I am at a museum. Especially interactive ones.

The last guy I dated took me my first date to the Cosmesphere, which is a nasa museum/ learning center in Hutchinson Kansas. It was so much fun! I even touched a nazi plane shhhh

My go-to is drinks or coffee somewhere by the beach then a walk down the beach. The sugar sand here is tough to walk in,so it gives you a good idea of how fit the guy is.
