Planning a first date can be difficult. You don't want to plan anything too long like a ballgame or concert because if you hate the other person not only have you spent a substantial amount of money but you have also gotten yourslef into a situation where you are stuck with that person for several hours.
A good, cheap, and casual first date and something that seems to be a fallback is the old "Hey let's meet for a drink". It's cheap, it's casual, it lowers inhibitions and lossens both people up and it can be as long or short as you like. If the dates a hit you can always stay and drink longer or turn it into dinner or a walk thorugh the city. If the dates going poorly or if there's no chemistry you can always cut it short after a beer tell the other party you enjoyed meeting them and you have to be up early for work so you best be going.
I would say about 99% of my first dates through online dating tend to be the lets meet for a drink dates. I was once a bit caught off guard when my potential date told me she didn't drink but it turned into let me take you out for a doctor Sprite and we still had a good time.
