    That’s a tough one. I’d have to say April 25th, because it’s not too hot, and not too cold. All you need is a light jacket.

    Art gallery followed by some lunch, then visit a record store.

    This way you get to know the person’s tastes in art and you can judge if you’re compatible. If they don’t like the art you like it’s probably not a good fit. If they pick up a Taylor Swift album I know it’s not gonna work.

    I think a person’s taste in art is a very good indicator. And if they’re not really into art or music then they’re not a good match

      Really? I’d consider a movie like 2nd or 3rd date material, but I guess if you’re having an event after it would make sense.

        It may help that I’ve never really “cold” dated. Every “first date” I’ve ever been on was with someone whom I was already at least decently friendly, so usually it’s more like I found a movie or event or whatever that we were both interested in. It had not occurred to me that sitting in a dark theater with someone you weren’t terribly familiar with could be something that needed vetting, but upon reflection I can see where that may cause problems. My naive ass just likes movies.

  • I like smaller art museums. They’re full of things to chat about, usually have some ways to bring out some red flags if they’re there, and it’s usually quiet enough to have a conversation.
