What makes a good date

Something to do side by side (a walk, a game, a class) takes the pressure off talking.
New things together make a date memorable, even small ones.
A date doesn't need to be expensive: views, parks and free museums are some of the best.
For a first date, keep it short, public and easy to extend if it's going well.
Take turns planning, so nobody always has to decide.
