I honestly think the formality and spectacle of a nice restaurant date, especially early on, actually gets in the way of getting to know someone. If you go for a walk in a park with a coffee and a chat, then fine yourself excited to see them again then I'd bet you'll have discovered more about each other and how compatible you are.
