How about we… I propose a 3 date plan -- for those spontaneous and who thought the Academy Awards was boring! (Date 1) Meet for a drink or even coffee. Talk. Get to know each other. (Date 2) Think short term and have fun together. Do something neither of us would think we'd do. (Date 3) I make you dinner! I'm open to negotiation on the order, too. : )

How about we… We create two characters (one male, one female) and pretend to be these people for the first 15-30 minutes of the date, for coffee or wine or on a walk, where, in character, we weave in true things about ourselves, and many fictional items, too -- i.e. we improvise. After we revert to our real selves, we see if the other person can tell which facts are true and which aren't. A different type of first date.

How about we… play "truth or dare" while chewing gum, and taking a walk in Central Park. Just getting your attention. Seriously, coffee or wine -- and getting to know each other works equally as well.
