Very little time-wasting email! Speak on the phone asap and the meet asap! I'll fly you to Utah and pay for your return trip regardless of your location. No bull-shit!

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.

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.

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... see more >>

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? :)
I enjoy so many things..let's go with the flow. As long as it involves good company, good manners, maybe some good humor, good conversation, good aura, good intentions...I'll probably be satisfied
