I have always liked the coffee date, or soda pop. My grandfather said there is never anything wrong with just going out for a soda pop.

I assume this is just a first date.

It is always better to keep it short and light. You don't want a loud environment, so that you can hear each other speak without yelling.

You don't want her to come to your place for a home made dinner. That makes it a bigger deal than it should be. And what if she is a stalker-type like in "Dangerous Liaisons"? No, you don't want that.

Movies. . . .hmmmnn . . . no. Then you are all about the movie and not learning about each other.

Art gallery or sporting event. . . . no. You don't want to invest much time or money in a woman until you get a better idea if she is worth it.

After a few dates, and you figure out she is intelligent, decent, good character, etc. then step up your game: dinner at a restaurant, movie, art gallery, etc.
 
The Arizona Science Center is pretty cool and worth a few hours of your time - they also have iMAX and a planetarium. Don't know anything art wise though, not my thing. ;)

I also think this is better than an art museum or something, even if she says she's interested in art. People like a bit of excitement, and interaction. There's nothing in a museum that won't bring the mood down!

Go to a science museum. There may be more interactive things there, even if science isn't her thing.

Then take her to the Planetarium and show her the big bang.
