I'm actually planning a first date with my husband as well and have been trying to plan something a bit more active than dinner. To give some background...We've been separated for 6 months now, but have been spending increasing amounts of time together lately, mostly when he's scheduled to see our boys, he's been invited me over for dinner as well. I suggested more of a "date" recently and he was interested. I've been thinking, though, that dinner seems like there is too much pressure and could take a wrong turn. Have been trying to plan something fun--actually trying to get some tickets to a Patriots pre-season game or going to drive go-carts or something different and active like that. That way, it isn't so much focused on us, our relationship, the kids, but about creating new memories and having fun! Wishing you luck!
