First dates can be nerve racking for both men and women, but it doesn't have to be. When I started this new dating lifestyle, I was so caught up with what I should do on a first date that it became a distraction from the girl I would be going out with. So, here are some successes that I have had with my first dates:
1) Go down to the beach at night and walk around a little, maybe have a drink or two, and walk on the sand. I have done this a few times and it is a nice relaxed date with plenty of conversation.
2) Go to an event like a ballgame or street fair. This would depend if the girl is into that specific sport, but the street fair is pretty easy to do as well. There are a lot of activities going on just in case conversation might be awkward. By the way, if things are awkward, it probably won't move past that first date anyway.
3) If she is really comfortable, have a nice night in. Wine with some dessert or snacks and a movie at home can also be a good one too.
These are three examples of successful first dates that I have had recently. There is one thing to note here. My friends ask me how I don't blow a lot of money with all of the dating I do. Well, it's simple. With the exception of the ballgame, things can be very affordable. Now I am no cheapskate, but my philosophy is that you don't need to spend a lot of money to have a good time. In fact, spending too much will seem like you're trying too hard.

I agree and personally embrace the concept of simple on a first date. If a first date has got the works going on, I personally tend to feel pressure and awkardness--there's no real way to relax or get to know someone with all the frills floating about distractingly.
