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]

Have you considered going a bit further out of your comfort zone and taking her up the OXO tower? |  |

Is this is a Jizzers tribute post? |  |

Go for a coffee. Will only cost you about £5 and it's better than finding a random bench somewhere. |  |

Milsoms at Kesgrave is a nice spot for a drink (and food, if required).
or
Arcade in town and head for the back bar area.
or
Mizu for food & drink (inexpensive). |  |

Try an escape room? They're pretty decent and fun. Don't do that if she's a bit... thick though. |  |

I assumed that was how Badger's idea started. | |

Is the public bog a really good idea? | |

That's a good shout - what's the viewpoint like at night? Is it just pitch black or are there lights there? | | | |

There's one near Asda. I actually did it for a first date a while ago. Decent idea. |  |

Agree with all of that apart from Milsoms Kesgrave food, which is pretty average. |  | | |

Why don't you get a couple of coffees/hot chocolates and go for a walk? Much more relaxing and you can also get close to each other without having to "make a move". |  |

And if you follow these instructions on any random day you’d be quite likely to bump into me. |  | | |

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. | |
