 If its a first date, having a few drinks before helps to break the ice and make you both feel more relaxed. This kind of intimacy will reveal the kinds of information you need to get to know someone properly.

 Of course you sit down. Why would you stand. Unless there aren't any seats or something.

 It's easier than trying to stand around and eat! Most girls I know wanna go some place there are other people around their age on the first date

 Go to a restaurant on a first date, but go for lunch. That way if it isn't going to work out you won't have to linger and worry about having to withstand drinks and dancing. You can just excuse yourself by saying you have an appt or meeting in the afternoon.

 Yes!!! And while you are waiting order a drink,that way you wont eat as much in case you feel awkward eating in front of your date

 I see nothing wrong with sitting down anytime. Its better than laying down like a lot of people do today on their first date.

 If there is an awkward pause, you can always eat, and pretend its not awkward!

 Yes to have dinner with someone is a great date. You get to talk about stuff and get to know a little about someone in a movie all you do is watch the screen so you do not get to talk as much and i think a date should be to get to know the person save the movie for another night.

 I think date is just to know each other the places doesn't matter if you are so broad minded and don't feel shy to sit in restaurant with your bfd.

 The best place is a chair!

 My feet hurt when I stand too long. If my date made me stand, I'd walk out! All kidding aside, do whatever your little heart desires, there are other places you can sit down and have a good fun time: The log ride at Knotts, the Matterhorn or Space Mt at Disneyland. Bumper cars. It doesn't always need to revolve around lots of money and food!

 That is a nice date if the resturant isnt fastfood.

 The date is to talk and get to know the other person. So if you just get your food and take it to-go then you might as well just b sex buddies.

 Yes, a nice dinner and maybe a movie or show afterwords but not on the first date. First date should be one to get to know the other person and if it does not feel right, then it's time to call an end to the date. Sitting down to dinner, it would be very rude to exit in the middle of it.

 Yea it is a good idea. I like to take my date to a nice restaurant so that i can get to know them and have some sort for talk with them

 Yes, I am for sitting down at a restaurant for a date, especially as opposed to going to their place. Until you get to know one another better.

 Yes i recommend it i mean why not as long as it is not a fast food rest .where else would you go for a first date lovers lane.

 Yes , why in the World would I want to stand in a restaurant with a date , thats , like eating my lunch while on the toilet?

 Yes sitting down its more romantic that way!

 Yes; just to sit and get a feel on whether this date is even going to go any further would be worth it. Check the conversation which will say a lot for the person

 You can tell alot about a person by having a meal with them...my dad told me once "you have to eat a lb. Of salt with someone before you know them"

 Yes, having dinner and relaxing in a nice atmosphere can be relaxing for someone who is out on their first date. Its a good place to be able to talk to someone and be alone
 03 Aug 2007 00:24
by Ishna Ishna
 Of course you should.
It doesnt have to a fancy place, it just puts both male and female in a relaxing element
 12 Jul 2007 06:12
by Walteria Walteria
 Yes, I think its good, I go to dinner once a week with my boyfirend. We go to different restuarnt and enjoy different atmosphere! Its quite a fun and you can talk to each other a lot!

by Shujing Shujing
 That's a great idea. Pershaps a casual place so the two of you can talk and find out if you like each other. Remember to keep the conversation light ;)

 I would say it is a good setting. It helps you to get to know your date more.
 10 Jul 2007 03:19
by Scrooge Scrooge
 Yes public setting is good for a first date because you dont really know the person toward the first date and you dont know what there intentions are in the beginning

 You should never sit down for a date, unless you want to be perceived as the "easy" girl. Stand at the counter instead.
 03 Jun 2008 02:04
by Guest Guest
 No, I believe standing up would work better. That way, if you're not getting along, it's easier to just walk out.

 Get it to go and enjoy each others company in a relaxed environment.

 Nop. A good date has to be fun, relaxed. A carnival, a beach at night, something like that, it's better than going to a restaurant. In a restaurant the date may become a little bit "scary", because that environment tends to make you both more nervous.

 The best place is the place that you remember after you are married as being the best place for your first date. It does not matter if you sit stand or walk. Now if you told your date you we're going to a restaurant for the date then you should pick a place that is comfortable nice and has a booth for the two of you so when your talking you can hear and see each other without any distractions from others. In other words your full attention is on your date.

 I think going anywhere is fine as long as you are at ease and can carry on a conversation comfortably.

 I say go where you feel the most comfortable.

 I actually think that you should go to some place fun and inexpensive for the first date, but after that....well maybe. I think the only time you should go to a fancy restaurant and sit down and eat is when it is special. You know for a halfiversary and an anniversary then it's ok. Other then that it would be just fine to go out to a movie or the fair

 Sitting down in a restaurant seems too formal. A date should be fun and have no limits.

 My husband and I went to a carnival and had hot dogs before we went on the ferris wheel. It was absolutely the most fun on a date I had had in a long time.

 No i do'nt think so, it is the not the best place. It is for having food
