First Date
I would say my first date would include meeting up for coffee since this is so popular---but, I do not drink coffee-----so I would say maybe meeting up at a local wine bar or sports bar(especially if the Cowboys, Mavericks, or Stars are playing). I say going Dutch would the best route as well, just as if I was having drinks with one of my friends. I am also a member of an outdoor/social club that plans a lot of social events and I might suggest meeting up at one of these just for comfort.
