 You got great suggestions. If this girl is kind of funky and dances to her own beat a little (like me), take her to the zoo. That was my favorite first date ever!!
Or...
- any museum (art, natural history, even something boring like the "museum of canasta" or "museum of knitting" or something)
- the arcade! Skee-Ball is a perfect way to a ladies heart.
- putt putt or batting cages. get sporty, even if you suck a sports.
- the aquarium (and then sushi afterwards... you'll get irony points)
First dates should always be fun and funky!! If she's a classier, or traditional kind of dame, stick with the classics - cocktails, dinner, movie. Those never fail!
Have a great time!

Keep it casual, and fun and treat her well but dont swamp her.
personally if a guy brought me flowers for a first date i would feel a bit cheesey.
but thats all down to personal preference!
just have fun
and good luck! and dont think little of yourself of course she said yes! because you sound like a really nice guy

 I think a really interesting restaurant might be a nice idea. Not an expensive one, mind you, one that has different but fun cuisine. The cinema is good, but as Birdy said, no action/shoot 'em up films.
Do you know what kind of music she likes? You could take her to a concert or club where there's live music. If there's music in the park, you could pack up a picnic lunch (buy the food already prepared at a gourmet shop) and a blanket and sunscreen and a nice bottle of wine, and settle down on the blanket, listen to some nice music and have a simple but delicious meal. That sounds great to me. Don't forget napkins and serving utensils.
Hmmm, you could also take a class together. Something like a wine tasting or cooking class or whatever it is that you are into and you think she might be too. It's even better if you get to eat the results of your efforts in the cooking class.
Sometimes people don't take advantage of the local tourist attractions in the town they live in. Find a walking tour that interests you, and find a good gastropub at the end of it for some refreshments and a light meal. (oops, just realized Birdy already covered that one)
Bicycle tours, balloon rides, the seaside for a day, hiking a nature trail....
Jess is right, it would be helpful to know what she is like and what her interests are in order to give you better ideas.
I'm sure she'll enjoy spending time with you, you sound like a very nice guy.

 I agree with birdynumnums.
I want to add on... First date should be FUN. Take her out dancing, if you know how to dance. Or take her to a circus, or how about a restaurant with Live Music. Or some type of concert. Or an Amusement Park.

Alright....Let me start with a question.... Is she the fun, down to earth type that would possibly enjoy some Yellow Tail and cheese and crackers on the beach? Or the, "we have to do the whole dinner and a movie thing, cause thats just how it is"? You have to establish why you dig her in the first place... like what attracks you to her? What bout her personality is intriquing? If shes cute and funny.... take her to watch an awesome comedy... if shes serious... DITCH THAT BITCH! lol... kidding but figure out how she is, what makes you dig her and find another way to make her smile..... Sushi+Beach= a deffinate second date Jellowshots +music videos= getting laiddouble dating for the first date with her= insecurityJust relax, have fun, be confident and remember"Life's a Garden.... "Dig It"!

I think a dinner club of some kind or other, one that serves dinner with a show, kind of takes the pressure off. Perhaps a comedy club? That way, there is something to talk about and there is something to entertain you both as well. Or a casual dinner and a movie is good to. Just make sure that it is a movie that comes somewhere in the middle and it's not all action or shooting...
If she said Yes, Hunnie, she's happy to go out with you, so I think anything that you want to do will probably be fine with her. Day time dates to museums and art galleries or some type of activity is great too. Is there something that you regularly participate in, like sailing or hiking? As long as you let her know how to dress for the day, she'd probably have fun. Just be sure to bring sunscreen, food and water if you are the one planning the outing, you have to provide for her comfort. Personally, I love those walking tours that are centred around architecture or something. Hope that this helps a bit and have a great first date, Hun.

I personally, if on a first date, would feel pretty shy so would want to be somewhere casual and relaxed. For example, go see a movie and then go for a coffee or to a nice bar afterwards, so you can get to know each other a bit better. The movie is a bit rubbish for dates as you can't talk really, however it does give you a talking point if the conversation dies when you are out afterwards. Taking her for dinner would be a good idea, its mature and sophisticated (if you go to the right places), you can get to know each other a lot etc. However, I think this is better for a 2nd date, as it relies heavily on conversation which could be difficult if you don't really know each other well.
Could you give some more information as to what she is like as a person and how you know her please? This would help you to get more informed advice.
Thanks :)
p.s you could buy her a small/medium bunch of pretty flowers too, that would really impress me if I were in her shoes!!

 Aww, you're so sweet!
Well every girl is different on where they want to be taken on a date, but I would suggest a nice restaurant so you can talk and get to know each other better. Then maybe a movie?
You can't go wrong with that combination, but if you really want to do something special for her, maybe you can ask her friends to see what they would suggest? It would show that you really like her and you took the time in planning your date together.
Good luck!
