If you're already friends? Maybe.
If you're getting to know each other? No.

That was similar to my first date with my GF, except it was stir-fry and Breaking Bad, because she had never seen it. I don't see anything wrong with it.

In a pandemic. I'd say so. It's really not about the scene. Y'all just trying to get to know each other. Pizza + TV saves money and is comfy.

My idea was my place. It's hard to offer "hey want to hang out at your place"

do you guys know each other very well? I personally wouldn't feel comfortable going to a guy's place alone if I didn't know him

Not that well, first date. Anyway, I'm not going to go with house + food option anyway. We live like 45 minutes apart.

Just tell her to come over your place and y'all can order pizza or something. I live in the burbs and deal with women that live in the city, if they want you they will come.

Do you already know each other and were friends before? If so, then sure.

If it's first first time, then no terrible date. Imagine what it's like if a stranger invited you to their place first time you meet. It's weird.

People say it's a terrible idea for a first date, but don't consider that first dates don't often happen without getting to know each other first.

Normally no, but in COVID times, yeah why not.

Bonus if you do a DIY pizza. Cooking together on early dates is great because you learn to work together, can have fun, are interactive and engaged, and get to demonstrate that you can actually navigate a kitchen.

Make and bake the pizza yourself. Get her involved in the kitchen and decorate with toppings accordingly. There are premade crusts available (and sauce from a jar, but imo make as much as you can from scratch since the meat+cheese is also going to be premade), throw some fresh basil onto that shit, go from there.

TV is fine enough... I'm more the movie type due to it's length + finality. A TV show with like six seasons and the two of you watching one to three episodes isn't the same, but it can provoke some cool conversation which can segue into other more meaningful and personal topics.

I guess you could say I did chicken out, I don't think this girl is interested enough to drive an hour to see me. Didn't even want to offer that. I'm asking her out so I thought it would be fit for me to drive out to see her.

This. I've been on a first date where we watched a movie which was awkward because you're generally not going to get to know someone during one.

Coffee or drinks make for a better first date imo

Dude you never know, quit trying to gauge a woman's interest level. If she comes she comes if not then next her ass and find one that will. I used to think drinks or coffee were good too but eventually it becomes taxing and it makes it harder

This is a really damn good idea. That will be date number two if this is successful

That type of date fits my personality and thus the girls I dated so that was pretty common date scenario for me back when I was allowed to date.

suit yourself. Somewhere neutral for drinks is a pretty common first date motif in the Before Times. If y'all are far apart, somewhere halfway is a good starting point and playing by ear from there for future dates.

Inviting a girl over for delivered pizza and TV is a segue into a hookup.

You can see where I'm coming from though right? My logic was that since I'm asking her out, I should be the one to go see her. I'm not saying that is the correct way. That's just what I was thinking when I suggested it. I like your idea though, and like jballen said I shouldn't be guessing her interest level. my mistake. It was just a quick thought when I was suggesting a date idea to her.

That's fine enough. Or have her meet you halfway, or 2nd date, invite her over. There should be a back-and-forth when it comes to dating. I can get some strange circumstances (no car, need to constantly monitor elderly mother and her 13 cats, etc) but if you're the one constantly doing this shit and they're neither reciprocating nor escalating, do yourself a favor and just start moving on. This more a general fyi.

Man...

This topic has tempted me to fire up a couple dating profiles. I had been seeing someone casually but then the pandemic happened and it eventually fizzled out a couple months ago.

I was planning on holding off until I'm vaccinated for covid-19. I'm still going to, just kinda sucks atm.
