I believe a good first date should be in a quiet atmosphere so its a risk and talk and get to know each other. The atmosphere should not outweigh the conversation.

Unless we have been talking for long enough to know there was a friendship regardless if there is chemistry, I like the idea of meeting over a cup of coffee or light bite.

I like to try to meet someone in a very casual environment - coffee would be nice....just to get the conversation started.

I want to get to know you on a first date...so let's go to a place we can talk and enjoy all those first-date awkward moments!

As much as I would like a romantic evening. I think it might be best to meet and see if there is any sparks before committing to any other meetings. Just encase either one of us gets the phone for the friend emergency.

I was thinking of having a coffee or something at a local coffee shop or meeting at a local church and having a nice time just getting to know each other.

Ideal first date would probably be coffee or a beer, possibly lunch. Let's go somewhere where we can hear each other.

I prefer to meet in a public place with lots of people. I know that doesn't sound very private, but I got to see how you are in public before I want to be with someone in private.

Know the perfect place in case of a backup needed. Somewhere we aren't yelling over loud music or other conversations because we are elbow to elbow with people on their iPhones next to us.

Dinner for a first date can be super awkward. We can always start at Starbucks, that way If it's not a match, there's no pressure!

Anything fun. I not a over planed expensive thing. Something the other person enjoys so I can see who they really are.

Creativity is key. Always nice to keep it simple for the first date, just to make sure the spark is there.
