3) Go to Guu in Gastown, or some other izakaya downtown at around 6:30, 7:00 maybe and share food, and talk. No alcohol. This isn't a one night stand, this is for long term.
4) The nightcap: Bella Gelato place below Fairmont, then walk around the Olympic Flame, more chatting, maybe? I'm not quite sure about this one either, since it's no longer summer and it's starting to get chilly. Someone mentioned Cheesecake Etc. in the Last Date thread, that seems interesting, though that takes me out of any scenic walks territory. Bubble tea's my comfort zone, but that's not impressive enough, personally.
5) BONUS ROUND: If she agrees, take her up to Cypress Mountain's vantage point and show her the Vancouver skyline at night. Personally, I think that view is the clincher. The Mariano Rivera in this game, so to speak.

IMO, that's a very boring list. She said she wanted a surprise and you literally picked every spot the average tourist would go to.
Only good one on that list is Cypress. If she's the outdoor type, everything they listed on their website looks far more interesting than what you came up with.
Summer Activities | Cypress Mountain
Geocaching and Disc Golf is something I've always been curious about but never tried. Those would be my pick if I was in your place.
End of the day if she's into you, it doesn't matter where you go or do. Hell, take her fishing.
