Dates can be awkward and exciting at the same time. Movies, restaurants, gardens, clubs, festivals, hiking - there are so many choices. The first date may be the indicator of whether or not there are a lifetime of dates to come, or whether you'll say "adios!" and go your separate ways. What or where in Greater Phoenix is your favorite date spot and why? How about for a first date? If you've gone somewhere on a date that was awful, tell us why you'd never go there on a date again.

- Last night my date took me to a painting class at the Brush Bar in Old Town Scottsdale. flights of wine, dessert and a painting on a large canvas we both got to paint. We got to hang the picture in our place when we got home! Never did anything like this before. Fun & different!

- Hike to the top of Black Mountain in Carefree/Cave Creek. Lunch at Carefree Station. They have a pretty garden courtyard or rooftop deck with mountain views. Amazing wine list.
