Call me a cynic, but it doesn't matter. You'll meet at the restaurant or maybe some bar. You'll have a few drinks, have a nice meal. You'll have a great time. Everything will click and you'll think she's perfect. You may or may not have great sex. If not, you will on the next date. But after a couple of months, she'll pull a Bruce Lee. She'll rip your heart out of your chest, eat it in front of you and leave you bleeding to death in the middle of the floor.

Re: 1st date: her neighborhood or yours?
 

zod,

1. Don't do dinner for a first date.
2. Don't do a fri / sat night for a first date.
3. Get a drink at a bar / coffee shop / whatever in a trendy, cool neighborhood.
4. Don't pick her up, have her meet you there.

hmm, I kind of agree, but:

since we hung out for about 2 hours at the party Saturday night, I think the pressure is off a bit for the "first date".

having a drink on a Thursday or whatever is an ok plan, but I think often time girls enjoy somebody picking them up, picking out a place to go to dinner, etc. it's kind of old fashioned, but still works.

I don't agree with the 'meet somewhere' plan. I think it shows a lot more care/thought if you pick her up, or go see her.

good question. I currently have 2 roomates, in a big apt. - not an ideal "bring her back" situation, but not bad either.

unsure of her status.

OP- Which city?

[/ QUOTE ]

Cambridge/Somerville (Boston, basically).

what neighborhoods

one is bound to be cooler than the other.

[/ QUOTE ]

Inman Square vs Alewife, which isn't really a neighborhood at all

[/ QUOTE ]

I say take her to Back Bay. Dunno if Boston isn't an option for some reason, but it's neutral and fun.

[/ QUOTE ]

Back Bay is a good option. the only negative is logistics. driving/valeting is kind of a pain, and taking the T on a first date is kind of ghetto I think. a cab is an option, I guess.

basically, I think I want to avoid driving or public transportation. I don't drink and drive (if I'm over the legal Blood Alcohol Level, I won't drive) but I want drinks to be part of the evenings itinerary.
