Take her on adventure and she'll have no choice but to fall in love.

Need ideas for a first date? The team at IDM has compiled a list of best and worst ideas for a first date. These are all tried, tested and true. Best of luck.

1-4 Safe bets, cheap, easy.
5-7 Getting a little more interesting, cheap, still easy
8-9 Adventure he we come, cheap, involves some planning.

1. The Grocery Store – Tell her you need to get groceries, take her along. This puts her outside of the normal interview style sit at a dinner table and ask questions. You’ll have lots to talk about, if you run out of ideas you can always talk about food.
2. Public Transit – Ferry, Bus, Train, Subway. Take a trip across town, talk about places in the town you like, laugh at the expense of others. Extra points if you end up at a really cool destination.
3. Shopping – Take her to the mall to help you get a new shirt, new shoes or something for your kitchen.
4. Arcade – Super fun, you can play pool, air hockey, racing games, gets the blood flowing and builds up the sexual tension brought on by competition
5. Vintage Clothing store – Take her there hand her $10, the challenge is to buy the other person a hilarious outfit that they must wear for the rest of the date.  You buy her one as well. Hilarity will ensue.
6. Sign up for a public cooking class at a local grocery store. Make sure to make a huge mess and get food all over yourself. You can always invite her over to your place to bake a cake/cookies if you can’t find a cooking class. Tell her she needs to wear old clothes and bring a bag of sugar, you’ll explain the rest when she arrives.
7. Bowling – especially if it’s late at night and the alley has neon lights. Total win, it’s a retro boogie bowling dance party.
8. Coffee scavenger hunt. Now we are getting into some serious planning. Meet for coffee, have a friend drop an envelope at your table and leave without saying a word. Have a set of instructions in the envelope that will lead you through a series of riddles and to other locations. Act as if you have no idea what’s going, just follow the clues.
9. Plan a heist, then pretend to execute it. You have no idea how many people want to be part of a heist, why not be their Thomas Crown and help them act it out. Do surveillance, create a plan, explore the location, talk about the security system, take notes. Disclaimer – please don’t actually steal anything, you’ll go to jail. You are NOT Thomas Crown.

Top 9 Worst places for a first date.

1. Movies – Nothing like sitting beside someone not interacting for 2 hours. That’s how you build lasting connections.
2. Dinner – They’ve done this before. You sit across from each other and talk about Nothing
3. Drinks – See Dinner
4. Coffee – Unless you plan on hitting the road and continuing the adventure elsewhere coffee ranks up there with Dinner and drinks
5. Cook dinner for them – unless you have solid game they are going to feel you are trying way way to hard. Make it fun, not serious.
6. Rock climbing – You want to make it fun, not hard, not challenging. There is not competitive spirit here, just hard work. Save that for later in the relationship
7. Hiking, Walking in the woods, etc – Places with a small amount of people can tend to get the other person thinking… hmmm… is this person an axe murderer?
8. Watching a movie at your place – This says “let’s just have sex” – holy uncomfortable batman
9. Bars/Clubs/Bands – Too loud, too distracting, too awkward. Steer clear of these.
