I'm in Wichita, which doesn't have much going on compared to KC. The cold weather limits outdoor activities as well. She suggested hanging out in the downtown area, which is close to where she lives. This is the first time I've put so much thought even though I just need to go with the flow and have fun. I've hung out with other girls in the past year, and never had to go through this. She's pretty outgoing, so I'm sure she's fine with anything. It would be nice to simply get to know each other better in person since the phone/text stuff is fairly minimal.

Here's a site to look at:
Arts & Entertainment | OldtownWichita.com

Here's what I have to deal with:
-Ice Skating (Closed at 3PM)
-Art Museum (Closd after 5PM or so)
-Walking around the city or town and going into small shops. (Possible freezing drizzle, and she's a little sick.)
-Unique restaurant (Easy)
-Zoo or Aquarium (Too cold. We don't have an aquarium)
-The Driving Range (Too cold. We have a couple spots, but it's all indoor arcade and ticket gaming. Fun to take a date, though.)
-Watch a game (WSU Shockers playing at home tonight! We might miss it by the time we finish dinner, though.)

Why not put the ball in her court? You pick the place for dinner, but have her pick the activity since it's in her neck of the woods.

Good luck to you sir. A good first date on a Wed is going to be challenging but not impossible.

I wouldn't do that on a first date. Women want something planned, not having to plan something....especially on the first date. The worst possible response to that conversation is, "I dunno, where do you wanna go?"

"Any place is fine."
"Ok, let's go to X."
"I hate X, pick something else. Anything's fine."
"How about Y?"
"I hate Y."
"Then you pick."
"Anything's fine"


Repeat until you just say "**** it" and go to the one place you hate that you know she loves, and she wanted to go to, but didn't want to suggest it.

....can also apply to... "where do you want to eat for dinner?" I'm actually kinda glad my girl's a vegetarian. Every restaurant has salad or pasta.
