Help a guy out... 13:02 - Jan 2 with 6233 views | No_Moore_Kieffer | On Friday I'm going on a 'first date' with this girl I've been talking to. I've met her before and spoken to her loads in person but we're not sure where to go. Ideally somewhere in Ipswich, though the surrounding area (Felixstowe, Colchester etc.) isn't out of the question - I'm prepared to spend money but she's insistent on me not doing so, so suggested we we just find a spot to just sit and and chat for a bit. Any suggestions on where to go with her? [Post edited 2 Jan 2019 14:05]

That's a good shout - what's the viewpoint like at night? Is it just pitch black or are there lights there? | ![](/images/avatars/20043.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

There's one near Asda. I actually did it for a first date a while ago. Decent idea. | ![](/images/avatars/3378.gif) |

Agree with all of that apart from Milsoms Kesgrave food, which is pretty average. | ![](/images/avatars/21329.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

70% of the time, it works every time. Going for the expected drink, meal, cinema makes everything much more awkward as you're just sitting around too much. Go for a walk, rub shoulders and you can even have a comfortable silence. | ![](/images/avatars/563.gif) |
