I think lunch dates are fine although if it's during business hours that's a little hokey.
For first date's I loved Sunday. You're both not losing Friday and Saturday night and the date is a little more relaxed.

Seriously, just make sure you're not ordering like the cheapest thing on the menu. For a girl that's super annoying.
I didn't order like that because of the money. But anyway, I don't know why I'm talking like I have a routine. I haven't dated since high school. When I dated then I was a awkward teenager with barely any money and we were going to Chilis or something. It'll be different now.
We hadn't really decided on a place. Where should we go?
EDIT- I haven't gone on first dates since high school. I had the same girlfriend for four years and I'm only 21, so I'm not very experienced with this sort of thing.
I know you didn't, but it's annoying for a girl because it limits her choices.
Try not to take her to a chain restaurant. If you're not sure what she likes, Italian usually works.

It's probably going to be a lunch thing. She's going out of town for a few days and she's leaving Sunday. We were just going to go out when she got back, but I've seen Harold and Kumar. Can't send a single girl out of town without planting a seed.

A sandwich? On a date?
Ok, first off. You've apparently been going on lunch dates. Nix those. Lunch dates don't lead to anything for the guy. And for the girl it shows a lack of seriousness on the guy's part. Lunch isn't serious. Dinner is serious. Always push for dinner dates.
He neglected to mention his date is through "It's Just Lunch".

Lunch dates seem like they're meant for people who are too busy to be bothered with a relationship. And you can't (or shouldn't) really drink on a lunch date.
You pull up in an early 80's Monte Carlo or Camaro - preferably the later so you can have the T-Tops out. You're wearing your best jean jacket, you run your fingers through your hair. Now, you honk your horn several times to let her know you've arrived. As soon as you see her, you tell her that she looks ready for action and tell her to hop in. Next, you reach into the cooler in your back seat and grab her an ice cold can of Busch. You hand it to her and tell her to drink up because it'll be "more fun that way." Next, grab your banana comb and run it through your hair. Sunglasses, check. Now, pop in a cassette of The Little River Band and blast the song "Night Owl" as you burn out of her driveway/parking lot.

There are six discs in here. I always have LRB ready to go.

This is amazing. I'm dying over here.

But I totally agree on Sunday first dates.
Some girls don't like a ton of pressure on a first date. They're already nervous enough.
Then again, maybe I have no idea what I'm talking about.
