If you want it to be something she remembers it's probably a good idea for it to actually be your idea.

First date...hmmm. Find something you both like.
If not, is a movie too forward for a first date (being in the dark with eachother etc.)?
If you want the first date to be something to remember too, make it original and personal.

Firstly, not a movie, you need to be able to talk and stuff haha. Well, erm...find something you both like/would like to do and something that would allow you to talk and be close and stuff, if you can do that you can make anything charming and special ;P

When I was in high school, a guy took me to a park and we played on the swings and took a walk. Then we walked to a ice cream stand and picked up a cone.

I have to say, it was quite charming indeed. Not only that, but we had plenty of time to talk, and it didn't require a lot of money.

I would say it was memorable, because I still remember it well.

If all else fails, get a friend to ask someone else out and then play Super Smash Bros. at one person's house.
Also, this video comes to mind:

Well i took my girlfriend an ice rink that i had rented out for just the two of us(cost me $100 for 2 hours, probably different in different places) i taught her to ice skate and we had a fun night. She said it was the best date shes ever been on, women love the romantic stuff. Remember whatever you do, bring Flowers im assuming youre in high school, Girls that age dont often get flowers from people they go out with now a days, dunno why.

EDIT: Note this was our first date but we had been flirting for months so maybe not right for you.

Movies are a bad idea. For the evening, you're focused on a movie, and not each other... Not the best idea.

Eating out is a decent idea, but it's pretty cliche. Getting something interesting done is a great idea.

Take her to an arcade, then go play pool or something. It doesn't matter if you suck at playing pool, it'll be fun, and you can get to know one another afterwards. Then later in the evening you can buy two foam swords and duel in the streets. When you focus on fun little activities as a date, it's okay to just eat at a hot dog place or something. A quick bite to eat basically.

A picnic at a park is a romantic idea and no matter what anyone says, pushing someone on the swings is one of the best things you can do for someone to make them feel special and happy. A first date doesn't have to be big or expensive. One of the best first dates I ever had was when my now ex-boyfriend took me to Macca's for lunch and we talked for a while before going over to his place and we beat each others butts on various games. It was relaxed and fun and a way to get to know each other without too much pressure or expectations and a way to feel and show more of your true self which is always a good thing.

Being too romantic on a first date can push girls away.

The key word for a first date (if you're unsure of what she'll enjoy) is FUN. Making a very small romantic gesture like buying a single rose and putting it in her hair or something can work. This can show her that you definitely have a romantic side, while not being cheesy about it.

Originality is a HUUUUUGE plus.

Original + Fun = successful first date... ALWAYS.

This sounds so epicly fun that I'm gonna summon up the courage to ask out the girl I've been kinda into just to duel her.
It does sound fun, but I can't stop thinking a scenario like this would happen if I tried it:

Me: I challenge you to duel! *slaps with duelling glove*
Girl: Oh my god! You just hit me! *kicks in crotch then walks away*
Me: D:

As you may be able to tell, I haven't been on many (read 'any') dates recently (read 'ever')... >:

They're just examples. I mean, Break out two foam swords and throw one at her, then be like. "en garde!"

If a girl likes you she likes you. Unless you do something incredibly outrageous that turns her off, you'll be fine. Don't listen to people who think they know what a perfect first date is, because there is no such thing. They are armchair experts who probably don't have a girlfriend to begin with.

My general rule is: Don't you're just gonna get shot down anyway...

but when the planets align and weird cosmic rays effect my self esteem levels and assuming she says yes, which is highly unlikely, I usually go with, "I dunno I'll think of something..." and than think of something later... just whatever happens to come up... last date I went on like last year... I went to go see a local band preform... they weren't that good and she wasn't that into them anyway...<.<

It entirely depends on what type of people you both are. Tell us a bit about what how her personality and style.

Arange for her to be kidnapped so you can save her. Make sure they slap her around so its realistic, and let them give you a few bruises and a scar, girls love that.
...Anything but this, really.

The duel-suggestion is good, though. :D

Sort of. I mean there are a shitload of possibilities for first dates that could work, it really depends on you and the person you want to date. I only give suggestions because it gives someone an idea on how to think of something fun and interesting to do on a first date.

Still, there are a few key tips that DO work.

-Do something that tells her something about you. As a gamer, taking a girl to an arcade is a great idea. Obviously not all girls go for that, but if you're interested in that kind of girl, then she might not like the fact that you're a gamer regardless of what you do for dates. Shit, just doing something like going to an arcade, then asking here "Where to next?" lets her make her own suggestions about what to do.

-Doing something original, or at least not typical makes you stand out. Girls, especially the attractive ones, tend to be more receptive to someone who stands out, or does things that could be considered out of the box.

-Don't plan for a long evening out. First dates are just testing the waters. If you choose to do so, then you could easily find something to do on the fly.

One thing's for sure. For first dates, there are a few don'ts.

Movie: It might work for high school dates, because, like, dating is like, soOOOoo cool! For anyone else, it's just not a good idea. The point of a first date is to get to know the person. You're testing the waters. What's the point of spending an hour or two fixated to a giant screen when you won't be talking to each other?

Romance: Ugh... Nothing says trying too hard than being too romantic. Adding small bits of romance to a first date isn't bad (in fact it can probably work) , but focusing mainly on romance on a first date just won't work. You're not really romantically involved yet. Being too romantic makes it seem like you're trying to force things.

If you have trouble maintaining a conversation with someone (like me, seriously what the fuck do you talk about?), then take her out to something that is engaging. For example, playing pool, you can focus on your shot, which gives you time to think a little. When you get a conversation to click, then the rest just falls into place really.

Nope, sorry. You're doing exactly what I told the OP not to listen to. If a girl wants to date you, she'll date you. Before the date she knows exactly how much she likes you and if she is serious she'll stick with you and if she is just going to be polite, she is not going to stick with you. Sure she might have fun, she might not, but she would have already made up her mind on you and things like attraction, chemistry, body language, perception and natural personality are the things that matter. The arbitrary shit you do on the date itself means next to nothing.

Relationships aren't a science. There is very little you can do on a first date that would "woo" girls over. We females are pretty much the same as you, we don't need to be lead through ridiculous and elaborate hoops to like you. We do or we don't. Simple. If a girl likes you, than just simply inviting them over and going for a walk in the park is enough.

I really can't stress this enough OP, don't buy into this rubbish. You are going to be way too preoccupied on the activity you chose to do and you'll forget the really important thing: SHE HAS TO LIKE YOU. And you aren't going to win her over or make her realise how much she wants you by taking her out for a game of putt-putt golf or doing something that you think is really "cool, fun and unique". Sorry, we aren't five year olds. We might like the day out and have a really fun time, but if we don't like you - we don't like you.

It's really fucking simple haha.
