Dating is a massive industry today and there are plenty of ways you can find a date. You could go to a bar and get talking to someone you like, meet someone on-line through a chat room, or even find profiles of potential matches on a dating website. However, it's not meeting people that poses a problem. You have access to thousands of single people during the course of a week. No, it is agreeing on a great first date that is the problem, even if you do have a few first date ideas.

Tips for fun first date ideas :

A Midnight Picnic Beneath The Stars - This is an original spin on the picnic and holds much potential for romance. You can also bring along a telescope for stargazing.

A Racetrack - This can be a formal or casual first date. Watching racing is filled with excitement and usually replete with laughs.

A Comedy Club - If your date has plenty of laughs they will loosen up, enjoy your company, and almost certainly want another date.

Don't talk about previous relationships. No matter how much you were hurt or how long you were with the person, this will send your date running.

Don't say "I love you". Regardless of how long you have liked this person, or how comfortable you feel, this will scare them senseless.

Don't talk about yourself all night. You may just be nervous, but it will look like you have no interest in the other person at all.

Don't be late. It's not cool or fashionable, it's disrespectful. Mind you, don't show up too early either - then you just look desperate.

Don't be scruffy. If you don't look like you've made an effort, they'll think you don't care. Remember - if you are over 30 grunge doesn't look cool!

What to wear on a first date - depending on the location and setting of your date, always make sure to dress for the occasion. Seriously, you can't go about wearing a shirt and jogging pants on a fancy restaurant, or a wear a coat and tie on an outdoor picnic. Ask your partner what she will wear on that night so you can match or compliment her attire, that way you two will look so adorable together.

It's important to think about flexibility. Is there any possibility you may be walking any distance? Is there a chance you'll go to a club and be dancing? Give some thought to your footwear. You don't want to appear to be high maintenance by wearing the wrong shoes and having to make a pit stop at your home for something different. And first dates are definitely not the time to break in a new pair of shoes.

Picnic

Picnics are the best way to get to know your partner. Find a beautiful spot at a park or nature reserve and pack a basket of food. Be sure to include all types of light snacks and of course beverages. If you are more of a hopeless romantic then have a evening picnic with candles and watch the sun go down.
