The day of dinner and a movie date as the perfect first date are long gone. While it may be the first thing thought of, in todays society it surely doesn't make an impression or allow one to stand out from the crowd when dating. There are also several flaws to the idea of making food the main topic of choice; with diets, food preferences, and allergies arising as if we are breding flaws into our genetic pools. Then after surmounting the idea that he was raised by a butcher and she is a vegan the next step you choose is to go and sit quietly next to each other not speaking while gazing at the safe bet of a comedy/romance? I think not. But what are your other choices?

Whether you met at the coffee house, on a great site like www.classyarrangements.com, or know each other from work a first date is a way to get to know each other better. Plan an activity that allows this to happen and will also open doors for new experiences that help you decide if you want to date each other again. You both also need to have fun and enjoy the date, it should not be geared toward one person's likes in order for the other to gain favor. Then a second date can happen, and a possible relationship flourish.

Here are some suggestions for a great first date:

• Try a new activity together that you are both interested in, but have never done.

• Go to a local attraction and be a 'tourist' together, preferably somewhere neither of you have ever been.

• Go for coffee, fondue, cupcakes, or a walk in the park... these are all places where you can chat and get to now each other without focusing on food.

• Take a short interactive class together that you are both interested in: like drawing, writing, or dance. Then have conversation time afterwards.

These types of dates all lend for time to get to know each other, to be your true self, and have fun. This will build the firm beginnings of a true relationship.

The goal of the first date is to find out if there is a chance that you are truly compatible. Are you boyfriend and girlfriend material? This can be found out if you both are honest on the first date. You will know your interest level and can determine if you want to pursue the person further when conversation and positive interactions happen on first contact. So be honest, set yourself up to explore the person and who they are, and don't waste your time or theirs if it doesn't work.

Happy dating, and find your elite dating mate here at www.classyarrangements.com!
