Here are some places you shouldn't go on a first date:

The movies. This is a classic first date activity, but it's not ideal for getting to know someone. You can't talk during the movie, and it can be hard to get a feel for your date's personality in the dark.

A loud bar or club. This is another popular first date spot, but it's too loud to have a conversation. You'll also be competing with the music and other distractions.

A fast food restaurant. This is a casual place to eat, but it's not very romantic or memorable.

Your or your date's home. This can be too intimate for a first date. It also puts pressure on your date to feel comfortable in your space.

A place that's either too expensive or too cheap. You want to choose a place that's appropriate for your budget and your date's budget. You also want to avoid places that are so expensive that they make your date feel uncomfortable or places that are so cheap that they make you look cheap.

Here are some other places to avoid:

Places that are too active or physical. This could include things like a trampoline park, a bowling alley, or a laser tag arena. You want to be able to talk and get to know each other, and it's hard to do that when you're sweating and out of breath.

Places that are too crowded or noisy. This could include things like a sporting event, a concert, or a theme park. You want to be able to focus on your date, and it's hard to do that when there's a lot of noise and distractions going on around you.

Places that are too personal or intimate. This could include things like a spa, a massage parlor, or a tattoo parlor. You want to get to know your date before you engage in any activities that are too personal or revealing.

Ultimately, the best place to go on a first date is somewhere where you can talk and get to know each other. It should be a place where you both feel comfortable and relaxed.
