First date... Quite honestly, I can have fun grocery shopping at 10 o'clock at night in my pajamas... (doesn't take alot to entertain me) :) If it is an actual date, then anything but the movies. I think comedy clubs, baseball, hockey and basketball games are always good places to go. Someplace where both people would be comfortable. I hate the bar scene, but I do like going to a pub and just hanging out.
