There's a Yahoo! blog called Foxy Festivities that we haven't paid any attention to until recently. Perhaps it's that title, which is easily dismissed. Or maybe the fact that they're on Yahoo.com, which hasn't been on anyone's radar since 1995.
Foxy Festivities is dedicated to entertaining-- although this post, entitled "First Date Deal-Breakers" is only loosely tied to the topic...
Your expert sexperts attempt to advise us in a way we haven't heard before. Do they succeed in convincing to change our self-sabotaging ways?
1) Don't take a guy to a ballgame if you hate sports; don't take a girl to a Bergman festival if you, you know, ever want to get laid for the rest of your life. Or something like that.
2) Make sure to fill up with gas-- the petroleum-based kind, silly. Oh, and no limos.
3) As if this list isn't stolen from every Woody Allen movie already, don't take your date to a loud rock concert.
4) Don't overdress. (Is anyone still reading at this point?)
5) Don't start out with a double date. That way, you're forced to get to know each other.
6) Choose a restaurant that falls in between The Russian Tea Room and Jack-in-the-Box.
There are several more recommendations here, but do we really need to list them all? First-dating comes down to this... smile, look your best without digging up a tux, pick a halfway decent restaurant, and... for God's sake... choose an activity that allows room for conversation. Oh, and try not to look for reasons not to date the person again ("one of his shoelaces was untied for thirty seconds" does not count.)
