Guu Gastown. I was working the percentages, she could either love shopping, or scenery, and the Gastown to Vancouver Convention Center district offered the best of both worlds, so I used that location instead. Called ahead, reserved a spot for two, and politely asked for a window seat for a date. My biggest fear was, if the restaurant was busy, we'd get a bar seat instead, which is less than ideal but still workable. When we got there, there it was, a table for two right beside an open window overlooking the Water St/Cordova St intersection. It was great work by Guu, and the atmosphere of that restaurant is top notch.

I'm 26 so extrapolate from that what you need.
Yeah I could have gone without giving her family anything, but in my mind, she's already introducing me to them, I'm obliged to give them the best impression and to not embarrass her.
She really appreciated the fact that she doesn't need to hide me from them, and I appreciate the fact that we don't have to sneak around on dates. Having her parents on your side that early is really something that can make your dating and relationship life so much better.
Now my only concern is, as someone in this thread stated, I may have set the bar too high, too fast hahaha. Actually, I'm sure I did. But I can re-calibrate that on the second date, I think. From chilling downtown to just walking on the sea wall. That should be a big enough resetting of the bar.
