If you can think of something fun and different, that is cool. There are some good suggestions out there if you search "first date" or "day 2 locations" or something like that on the quick search bar above. However, in general, I'd just be creative and try to focus on the following:
- 1) You are fairly isolated where you are able to look each other in the eyes and close enough to make physical contact, you're both comfortable and not too cramped in, and you're not being interrupted by other people every 10 seconds.
2) You can talk clearly to one another without having to raise your voice over other people or loud music.
3) You're not trying to talk in between stuffing food in your mouths. I'm not a fan of meal dates the first time out because you're often competing with the food. Dinner's fine for after the first date once you've already established a bond. That being said, if you go out to eat, look at food that's not overly messy, smelly, heavy, or manually intensive - the food shouldn't be getting in the way.
4) I personally don't think how much you spend should be your biggest concern as long as it lets you achieve the above. However, you definitely don't want to be breaking the bank on first dates where you barely know the girl and are prepared to never see her again.
Remember, your goal is to be able find a locale where you can build up a strong connection through conversation and kino, so just think it through and look for somewhere that will
help you to do that, or at least won't make it harder for you. Pizza Hut may not be the best call because it's noisy, the food is messy, and the staff usually hovers over you. It's not creative, but going for coffee or drinks at a nice bar/cafe/lounge (if you're old enough) are the best safe bets for first dates because they let you do #1-3 above. However, with coffee you can't exactly hang out there all night (unless you down 10 capuccinos or something), so it's good to choose a good location where you can go for a walk after and maybe find somewhere nice to sit outside (weather permitting) to continue where you left off.
