******* Favorite Restaurants for the First Date? ********

Yeah, that's the way I feel about it too. The closest thing I like to a restaurant setting would be going for coffee or drinks. I prefer things to be more relaxed, which is good for conversation, fun, and enjoying each other's company...going out to eat on a first date is not the best setting for any of those things for me. Outdoorsy is good, but indoorsy works for me too...there are plenty of both types that make for an enjoyable first date. I also like for a man to be himself rather than trying to impress me with a bunch of pretentious crap.
