Where do think is the worst place to go for a first date with the person you like? In my opinion, going to see a movie is probabaly the worst. It's a common place to go for a date, but when you watch a movie you can't really talk. Therefore, it can get awkward easily if you don't know much about each other. I think it's best to go out for ice cream or coffee, or some casual place to eat or even just for a walk in the park for a first date. That way, you can talk and get to know each other more. I think it's better to go to the movies when you're more established in a relationship, then you can cuddle a bit or go "awwww" at romantic scenes. :D

I think the worse place for a first date would be at a night club. I think all the other places you listed or perfect going out for ice cream so you can get a time to talk .

I agree going to the movies for a date seems pointless since you can't even talk. I think it would be a good idea if after the movies, you planned to go out to eat somewhere, that way you can discuss the movie then, as well as talk about yourselves. In the same vain as the movies, I think other poor first date locations are anywhere that would be too noisy to have a conversation like a club, concert or perhaps a sport event.

for me movie houses, because lots of lovers comes there and made some argue if the guy have a stolen kiss. it not romantic if your watching then you are not communicating with each other.

You got it right, movies are a definite no no for a first date. Remember the first date is a fact finding mission and you would want him/her to talk more rather than to be staring at a movie and besides you need to know if will this first date progress to a second date or run for cover. A quiet Coffee shop will do for me thank you

In my opinion the worst place to the couple first date is her house, when her parents are in home...because you don't have peace to get her atention... you said about the movie, a good movie, and just take her hand, can conquest her heart... so the movie can be a good place to date a girl ;D

for my opinion movie is good as long as the movie you will both watch is the same interest. if she like love story and i dont then that would be a problem. the first date i had with my wife was movie then we went to a coffee shop. we both enjoyed the Jacky Chan movie and after that we had time to talk at the coffee shop. i would not like to go to a noisy bar on a first date that would not be enjoying in my opinion.

I agree. It's not a good idea to go to the movies. Neither is it a good idea to go to a bar or a disco. These places are so loud and you can't talk properly at all. But there's another place. One time, this guy asked me out. We were already in our late 20's that time. He took me to an arcade before we went to dinner! I guess he loved playing at the arcade but I didn't. The only thing I do in the arcade is the basketball game and air hockey. Maybe when I was younger, I would have had fun there. But we were adults already. I ended up waiting for him to finish the roll of tokens that he bought. Good thing my current bf had more sense. We had dinner at a casual restaurant, then coffee and cake at a cafe then he brought me home and we talked some more at my house. We really got to know one another then.

I agree that the movies are not ideal. I really would advice against that!

I also agree. Going to cinemas is the worst place for a couple. All you have to do is to watch and watch and watch, so what's the point of dating, right? I think it's better to go somewhere romantic and sweet such as a candle light dinner wherein the couple will have a long time to talk with each other. COMMUNICATION is really really important for you to know that "someone" very well. :) Do not be too modern! :) GO somewhere else and forget that movie dating. =))

...for me, the worst place to go for a first date would be in a restaurant...it is more awkward specially if the theme of the place is pretty formal....walking in a park or some tourist spot would be the best place to go on a date...you can talk about everything in there without caring for formality...i agree with you when you said that watching movie would be better only if your relationship with that someone is already on a higher level..=)

Worst place: family function or religious service....not kidding, have had some friends attempt this!!! Best is definitely a nice restraunt with a quite atmosphere so you can talk. The first date is key!!

I agree with the whole movie thing also I think another worst place would be a strip club you would want a attractive enviroment and a place where you two could sit down and talk and ask questions to get to know each other.

I agree, I think the movies are one of the worst places(although I'm sure there are worst first dates around). It gives you no chance to talk. I have to admit my boyfriend and I went to a movie on our first date, but we went to dinner first and for ice cream afterwards so there was plenty of time to talk, and plenty to talk about.

But it's dark enough to steal a kiss or two.

i think the good place is a coffe with light music, so it easy to talk and we can show our idea to the person we like. it's will make him/her have impress to you, and it very good to begin a good relationship.
