Choose one neighbourhood
Laneways are fun to explore, but “meet in a laneway” is not a useful plan. Agree on a named, staffed venue and share its address. Keeping your first meeting in one area makes arrivals and separate journeys home simpler.
Let an exhibition break the ice
If you both enjoy art, discuss a public gallery visit followed by a short coffee. Check the exhibition’s current hours and booking requirements directly. Make the plan together rather than buying non-refundable tickets for someone you have not met.
Have a weather backup
A park walk sounds easy until the weather changes. Pick a nearby indoor alternative and agree on it in advance. There is no need to turn a first catch-up into a long dinner unless both people want to.
“If you had one free afternoon: a gallery, a bookshop or a very good coffee?”
Use an idea only if it fits something the other person has shared. Agree on expectations, take your time and keep first meetings in public.
