You'd be pretty shocked. In my 20s I was that guy that always had to take the first date to a fancy place and I just found that in my experience, in no metric did that increase my chances whatsoever. I've just found out than unless you are taking them to Burger King on the first date, if they like you they like you and the reverse is also true. Alot easier to foot 50 on a first date for dinner and drinks to find out it isn't going to work out than 100+.
Since you live in Philly, stop taking girls to Fogo on the first date lol. - 2sticks1puck
I usually just do drinks at a bar for a first date. The only way I would do Applebees for a first date is if I just went over the top with it and wore a suit/tuxedo

Do a home cooked meal. Everything is right there. And if things don't work out, there is always the crawl space - mdw7413
I'm not the total helpless guy, but I have a limited range I can cook. I think it would probably be fun if like we both contributed to the cooking, but if it was something where she would have to do the heavy lifting so to speak, that sounds kind of risky.
The girl I'm seeing now, the funny thing is she actually bought the first meal. She came over and was like wanna door dash some food? She brought up chic-fil-a and of course i got some spicy chicken sandwich goodness.

Tuxedo t shirt lol. I choose a place like Applebees/Fridays/etc because not only can I get cheap drinks and food, but its normally pretty dead in there so I can feel like I can get some good conversation in. A busy loud bar is date kryptonite for me

How long do you soak the rag in chloroform before you use it?

Coffee shop. Walk in a park. If you're lucky (or you planted one) there'll be a dog off leash that's super friendly and comes to you for attention.

I'm just saying try to create one of those cheesy Hallmark movie moments. they eat that poop up even if they see right through it. She'll remember it for a long time, it's cheap, and she'll pretty much have to.

I took a girl to McDonalds for a first date once!
There was a history to the idea, though. So, it went over quite well.

Oh and she has this super nice place despite being a (frank)ing cupcake baker or a poet or some stupid poop that would provide nearly no income. - BINGO!
And a good amount of the time she is a single mother because her ex was abusive, or he was great but died tragically.
