I'd like to hear people's opinions on first dates.

1 - First do you pick them up or meet them at a local place?

I usually try to pick them up so that she able to have a few drinks and loosen up without worrying about driving.

2 - When you pick up a date for the first time, do you walk up to the door and ring the doorbell, or just call them to let them know you're there? I feel like walking up to the door, then opening the car door for them, etc is old fashioned and done with. Right or wrong? Also, do the rules change when she lives with her parents?

3 - And if you do dinner and drinks, what after? Assuming things go well, what can you do after dinner assuming you're near her town and know nothing about the area?
