Things to do on a first date in vancouver

It's interesting:
"This wedding really couldn't come at a better time for anyone. Gary will probably be bald by this time next year. And Annabelle's just found out that ..."

Finding that perfect place to meet during a first date is often a stressful endeavor. Many times a romantic dinner seems a bit to forward, while simply getting a cup of coffee often is a bit too informal. For singles living in and near Vancouver, there are a number of perfect first date options from cultural centers to outdoor parks.

Does this Spark an idea?

1. Vancouver Art Gallery

   • Perfect for a casual first date, the Vancouver Art Gallery keeps the afternoon moving with thousands of art pieces to ponder and talk about.
