I'm new to the area and am hoping to learn more about the local culture and hopefully find someone special willing to teach me. I'm in the U.S. Navy and will be gone for some periods of time due to my job. I hope to be able to find someone that is willing to understand the situation and understand I'm worth the time and effort.

My idea of a good first date would be to meet up and introduce ourselves and see what we have in common. Maybe meet at a local restaurant. Being from America I still like trying new Ramen and Curry Shops. I also seem to have this ability to find Hard Rock Cafes for a taste of home LOL. Then usual I think we would talk about a few things like what kind of books,food, music or movies we like. Maybe find out what kind of goals we might have in common and if things don't work out for dating how I might be able to get some help from them for the future. Just kidding. If things are going well we can go to a local bar/karaoke bar and have a few drinks and maybe sing a few songs so when I'm done destroying your ears you can return the favor. IN all honesty though just as long as we have fun I think it's a great first date.
