You’ve met a great guy or girl, and you want to ask them on a date. But where do you take them? The first date is super important, so you need to pick the right activity and location. It should be casual, but not too casual! You don’t want your date to think you don’t care. Most importantly, a first date should allow the two people to chat and get to know each other, which is why so many first dates are usually having coffee together, or drinks at a bar.

In today’s lesson, our couple has finished at the exhibition, and is now going to the restaurant. If you do decide to have dinner together, be careful which kind of restaurant you choose. If you go to an incredibly fancy or expensive restaurant for the first time, then your date might come to expect that every time. On the other hand, if you choose McDonald’s, then they might see you as cheap. So choose a casual restaurant with prices in the middle range.

If you decide to take your date to the museum, make sure you do your homework. It can be a great opportunity to show him or her that you are really smart and cultured. If you’re not prepared, however, it could be really boring and you could look stupid.

One place you really shouldn’t go for a first date is the movie theater. Watching a movie doesn’t allow you to chat with your date, so you should save it for the 3rd or 4th time you go out together.

你遇到了一个不错的小伙子或者姑娘，你想跟他们去约会。但是应该去哪呢？第一次约会非常重要，所以你需要选择正确的地点和活动。应该随意一些，但不能太随意！你可不想你的对象觉得你并不重视。最重要的是，第一次约会应该能让二人聊天，了解彼此，所以很多人第一次约会一般是一起喝咖啡，或者在酒吧喝酒。

今天这节课，这一对是在展览厅结束的，现在正在去饭店。如果你决定一起吃饭，要小心选择了哪种饭店。如果你第一次就去了一家非常高档昂贵的餐厅，那么对方可能每次都会期待来这种地方。另一方面，如果你选择吃麦当劳，那么人家可能会觉得你太小气。随意选一家休闲一点的餐厅，价格适中。

如果你决定带约会对象去博物馆，确保要做足功课。这是一个向对方展示你的聪慧和学识的机会。如果你没做好准备，那就可能会很无聊，让你看起来很蠢。第一次约会真的不该去电影院。看电影不能让你们聊天，所以可以等到第三或者第四次。
