My current favorite first date sequence of events (this is powerful stuff that could be abused in the wrong hands!)
1. Have her come to your place so you can go to (insert place near your house) in one car.
2. Before hand, buy a decent bottle of wine.
3. Take her to a scenic/romantic-ish area not too far away to drink the wine and chat.
4. Somewhere along the date, I mention my travels and all the cool pics she has to see on my PC.
5. Come back, show her cool pics as she's sitting on my lap...
6. yada yada yada
