First Date
I think the first date is all about getting to know the other person...sort of an initial screening interview. I don't know that we have to know all about each other right away, but I think we are looking for common interests, seeing if there is a spark, and finding out if we want to spend more time together. That said, I think the ideal first date is a casual meeting, say for coffee or a drink, talking and seeing what happens. It can always become more if both want more, but it should also be easy for both or either to exit gracefully if they don't click.
