  • “First date ideas for college students with no car and $30”

    I need first date ideas for college students that work with no car, a bus pass and about $30 total.

    I'm 20 and a sophomore in Madison. We matched on Hinge, have been texting for a week, and I'd like to ask her out properly. My ideas so far: the dining hall (no), a frat party (absolutely not) or coffee (fine, but forgettable).

  • “Quiet first date ideas for two introverts in Minneapolis”

    I'm looking for first date ideas for introverts, since we're both quiet and a loud bar would kill the conversation.

    I'm 25 and work in accounting in Minneapolis. We met in a book club, which tells you everything. We've texted for two weeks and both said we hate small talk with music blasting. I don't want a dinner where we stare at each other across a table, either.

  • “How to plan a first date when I've never asked anyone out”

    I need someone to walk me through how to plan a first date, because I've never actually asked anyone out.

    I'm 22 and just started my first job in Charlotte. I've always met people through friends, and things just sort of happened. Now I'm on Hinge, there's someone I'd like to meet, and I realize I don't know the steps: how to ask, how specific to be, who picks the place, what time, what to do if they say maybe.

  • “Rainy-day first date plan in Seattle under $40”

    I'd like first date ideas for a rainy day in Seattle, because it's always raining and coffee dates are getting old.

    I'm 23 and a UX designer. I've done the coffee date four times this fall. They were fine. Fine is the problem. I want something indoors or covered, under about $40 for both of us, reachable by light rail or bus, that gives us something to talk about besides work.

Good questions

What people ask before they post this in the US.

  • 01

    How much does first-date plan cost in the US?

    Usually $15–60. Each Tasker names their own price in their offer, so you see the cost before you agree to anything.

  • 02

    How long should a first date be?

    About an hour to ninety minutes is a comfortable target. Plan something with a natural end point, then extend it if it's going well.

  • 03

    Who pays on a budget first date?

    Decide ahead of time and keep it simple. Picking low-cost plans takes the pressure off, and offering to split is common among students.

  • 04

    Why do side-by-side dates work for introverts?

    Having something shared to look at gives the conversation natural prompts and makes pauses feel normal. It's less intense than sitting face to face for two hours.

  • 05

    How do I keep an introvert date from running too long?

    Choose a plan with a natural end, like a museum closing time, and have one optional add-on, such as coffee nearby, if you're both enjoying it.

  • 06

    Should I suggest a specific time and place?

    Yes. 'Coffee at this place on Thursday at six?' is easier to say yes to than 'we should hang out sometime', and it shows you've thought about it.

  • 07

    How does paying work?

    Posting is free. When you accept an offer you pay the agreed price. Your money is held by Taskly until you confirm the task is done. If you don’t, it’s released three days after your Tasker marks it finished — unless you report a problem.

  • 08

    Who are the Taskers?

    People who have done what you need: worked at the company, passed the exam, made the move. Every Tasker is reviewed and approved by a person before they work.

  • 09

    What can’t a Tasker do here?

    Advice only, for people 18 and over. Taskers never arrange dates, contact anyone for you, or meet you in person.
