See instead of hiding things like chess, and Xeno's Doughnut and dumb math and science jokes, we should just tell them, and eventually you'll find someone who doesn't need hard liquor to put up with you, or even better actually tells stupid math jokes of their own. Then you have found the perfect woman.

A: They make you an offer that you can't understand.
Stupid enough?
Being in Colorado, and having mountains so close, I'd generally choose to take a date out on a hike for our first encounter. Not something too difficult, but something that has a good view, and a peaceful scene as a reward for the journey.
Other than that, I'd probably go with something that doesn't involve much concentration on the activity. That way you're able to focus on your date, and not have to worry about the activity going awry.

i go with the bad jokes regardless-why did the chicken cross the mobius strip? to get to the same side!
it gets the usual "what on earth?" stare, but makes me appear kinda goofy, infers i have a sense of houmer, and am smart. i never mention chess though. i'm afraid they'll beat me. had this problem with my ex...
my first dates haven't been exactly plentiful-all one-and-a-bit of them (one wasn't really a date, but it's kind of complicated so i shant go into it). i've known the other people (all two of them!) before i started to date them. anyway, the first first date was the cinema. to see "about schmitt". i hated that film afterwards, but i think that was just cause i was so darn nervous. yep-cinemas are out for me! (needless to say, that relationship lasted for a single date). the next one was actually really good-'twas just a walk around glasgow. we didn't do anything, we just walked and talked. and got lost. it was fun!
personally, if i had to choose now i'd go for the coffee-house idea. except i have a drink problem (i make silly noises when i swallow. my roomate keeps on getting onto me about this...) but it's a nice, relaxed atmosphere...
First date, hmm... I recommend something neither of you have done before which will put you both on the awkward foot. Something like... Learning to dance like a pole dancer, or wine tasting, or perhaps even water polo lessons. Or go one step more and combine all three; drunk pole dancing underwater! Fantastic! If that doesn't break the ice, nothing will.

Take her to a lock up, or disused warehouse.
If you want to make it more interesting ... provide the police with tentative clues as to where
you might be residing, even incorporating some kind of time factor. Ultimately, whilst entertaining
this is generally considered risky.
Remember to have the appropriate torture paraphernalia at your pre-arranged rendez-vous.
Chloroform is generally considered passe these days but you certainly won't be breaching any
social ettiquette if you are an old fashioned guy.
And remember, most importantly have fun.
