Notes -
What are some great first date ideas? What worked for you guys? Previously I've taken girls to the museum and I think that's fine -- you can always talk about the art if conversation stalls, and it segues very well into getting coffee or iced-cream afterward. Part of me is worried that it's too boring or conventional though -- maybe something with some light activity involved?
On that note, I've recently moved to the UK so punting doesn't seem like such a bad idea for a date -- Lord knows I've seen plenty of couples doing it near my neck of the woods.
I assume you're in Cambridge or Oxford (does anywhere else do punting?). But yes, it's a great date idea. Followed by drinks.
My general advice would be to take her to more than one location. That makes it feel like more than one date and so makes it seem like the relationship has progressed further in the same amount of time. Plus, changing locations makes the experience more novel and allows you to show that you can make decisions. Your best bet is to have a few options lined up and then 'spontaneously' pick one at the time.
I'm near Cambridge. When I first saw it I knew it was a good date idea. Of course, coffee or ice-cream or lunch are easy to tack on afterward, especially if the day is hot and we want a break from the weather. So changing venues shouldn't be an issue.
