In these odd pandemic times I think going for a walk outdoors seems like a healthy and sane way to meet. If you'd prefer to meet in a crowded public place with a heavy police presence, I totally get it. Gotta stay safe.

Maybe go Trooping with the 501st on a charity volunteer Star Wars event. I can alway use a spotter to help get in and out of the gear and just keep an eye out as it's not the best vision in the helmet :) Then afterward a real sit down get to know you conversation with a bite to eat and beverage of choice......my treat.

Something that interests you, where we can talk. I want to find some common ground. Something that serves as an icebreaker. Something fun, or something nice. Could be going out to a gig, out for dinner over a few drinks...  see more >>

I worship deep intellectual conversations with someone who is willing to put their cellphones faced down on silent and gift their undivided attention. Such a criteria won't evolve in a busy loud and yet crowded places, in the movie theaters, going to amusement parks, or by doing activities; especially on the first date (AWKWARD!!!). I understand most of you are aiming for an ice breaker first meeting, but if you think about it, we have already broken the ice berg that sank the titanic by being here, indeed. We humans are social species that strive for connecting and feeling heard, our role to support each other and lift our spirits up against life's obstacles. The idealist first date, or what I like to refer to as the first getting to know one another meeting ever has to be humble, definitely facing one another, being able to talk freely while observing the other's gesture-body-eye language without being influenced by the distracting surroundings, and most importantly the place must have a plan B escape route LOL! I prefer a public place that is a little distant from anyone who can hear our private talks (like why we are on this website to begin with), I really believe any public place during daylight time half way between us would do it, and if at any second one of us wants to disconnect the meeting we shall not be concerned about doing so, since our rides would be parked close, no hard feelings. On the other hand; after few minutes to an hour; if we click and feel comfortable about one another we can decide to go anywhere else from there (food, drinks, etc...), so dress up like you are out and about and try not to have other plans later that day, because our first meeting could turn into a real date and we could be together some where between few minutes to prolonged several hours. Any place that can provide the same quality first meeting, I'm open to hear your suggestions.

I think anonymity on the internet is a weird thing, so I definitely get meeting up in a public space/bar/cafe to make sure your prospective partner isn't going to try and eat your eyes. A good first date would just be one where both people can feel comfortable getting to know each other. My pie-in-the-sky first date would be getting together somewhere outside, with a basket of beer (or seltzer) and food.

As an urban dweller, I am minutes away from coffee shops or pubs in Covington and Cincinnati. In addition, there are countless places to walk and chat. Keep it simple, and explore common ground! For me it makes sense to plan the first meeting based on mutual interests we establish through conversation. It could be as simple as meeting for a coffee in a cool place like "Lola's" or weather permitting, a walk through Ault Park. For book lovers, we could meet at the fabulous Mercantile Library (I am a member), and if interests allow, follow up with a walk over to any of the local eateries for a snack. Butcher & Block is a nice place to meet for cocktails, there is a lot of seating that allows for a more private conversation, and the liquor selection is lovely.

"Chemistry is essential, and everyone's an alchemist." I heard that one day, and it made me giggle at the possible meaning. ;) Let's meet somewhere, and do something low-key, within a neutral, public atmosphere. A place where we can be in each other's energies, hear each other, and converse on "Life, the Universe, and Everything" in between. Maybe we'll find "the answer"? Something planned, something impromptu. "A bit of both." Bonus points if you know where those three quotes are from. ;) Let the Universe decide, let's go where the winds take us, and just follow the Bliss. I'm fairly flexible. Ever dance in the desert under the pale moon light? :)
