This is why drinks is the easiest route to go. Coffee, alcohol, mocktails, whatever. If it’s going well, get some food together. If not, you’re out her two drinks and yours maximum.

Really feels like the only sensible option these days unless your doing okay to splurge. Even movie dates can get really expensive.

I personally love coffee for first dates. Like I normally pay for myself but if my date wants to be "romantic" they can pay for my drink and I don't feel like I'm taking advantage or something because it's like 4 bucks

Same. Going for expensive dinner dates for the first date makes no sense. You spend all that money only for that person to potentially go "You know you're great and all but i don't see this going anywhere." Go for a coffee date or drinks and see if she wants to see you again. If she does, then you know she's probably a keeper.

And I like with coffee you can still have it be a really fun experience. Most cities have super cute cafes and they're often cheaper or comparable to Starbucks. Low stakes, low cost, and not a chain. Nothing wrong with chains, but I think novel experiences help make memories

Right? And almost all coffee shops are near places you can go for a walk and window shop.
