How do I entertain someone who is visiting from out of state? I'm bringing him downtown, should I bring him to multiple places?

That depends on if it matters what you do. He may just be visiting to see/spend time with you. For some, it's more about the company than about the activity. Now, having said that, I guess you could try to do something that both of you enjoy doing or be tourists. I'm sure the Mall of America is an experience.

First, downtown where? I don't know where you live. I would suggest dinner and maybe some drinks in a quiet place where you can talk and catch up on each other. If there are interesting live performances around, that's always a great way to spend a couple of hours.

I say take your mind off of entertaining him, and then just do what naturally makes you happy. You'll have more fun pursuing the things you both have in common, rather than going after the stuff you feel obligated to do. A visit should never feel like a drag. It doesn't matter how many places you go to, so long as you are having a great time. He'll have more fun being exposed to where you live in a natural way rather than anything forced. Take him to your favorite spots, restaurants, etc... enjoy!

I'd ask if there are any places the visitor might like to see first. Sometimes they might want to get out on their own too? Others are just happy to visit wherever your willing to show them. If your taking a person downtown, you better be careful where you go and bring a can of pepper spray. Parts of downtown, aren't too nice. Just ask Ned the wino... Seriously, you have a great time with your guests! :)

Ask him what he likes to do, and expose him to your local versions of it. For example, take him bowling. That way you can 'do' something he likes while talking over food/drinks and getting to know each other better.

Sounds good. Did you ask what he would like to do?
