• Museum or gallery visit (you’ll never run out of things to comment on).
• Quick dessert date: gelato, pastries, or hot chocolate in winter.

Consistency beats sending 50 generic openers. Q: How do I stay safe on a first date? A: Meet in public, tell a friend your plan, keep the first meet short, and always have your own ride home.
