DATING IDEAS

Tweet

What are we going to do on our next date ? A movie - Inviting someone to a movie is definitely safe. It is probably the #1 first date. You can go to a first-run film or a bargain movie. One good way to make it a little interesting is to let your date choose the film, or put a bunch of movie names in a hat and pick one at random when you get together. A nice dinner - Another classic. As mentioned above, dinner out means that you are going to have to think of something to talk about for an hour or two. Sometimes that can be hard, especially on the first date. One way to lessen that problem is to go on a double date. A dance or a game - High schools are always having dances and football games, so you can invite your date to one of these. The Zoo - If your city has a zoo, it can be a fun place to go. Museums - Most cities and towns have museums: art museums, history museums, nature museums, etc. If you and your date like this sort of thing, a museum can be a great place to go on a date. Public gardens - If you like flowers and trees, a botanical garden or an arboretum can be a great place to visit, especially in the spring. Shopping together - Let's say you are looking for a gift for someone like your mother, friend, or father. Take your date along with you to the mall and look for the gift together. Picnic - Plan a picnic at a local park. Invite some friends along if you want a little less intimacy and get to know the person better with other people around. Star gazing - Get a book on constellations (or invite a friend with a telescope) and watch the stars. This can be especially fun during a meteor shower. Can you tell I’m a “Star Gazer”? It can get very romantic lying down looking up at the sky... or it doesn't have to be, it’s up to you. Walk on the beach - If you live near the ocean or a large lake, taking a walk on the beach or the shoreline at sunset or in the moonlight can be very romantic. It can also be a lot more contemplative and peaceful. Visit a park - You can swing together or ride down the slide. If you go in the evening it will be less crowded. Parks are not just for kids. Special events - Look up special events in the paper. The Saturday or Sunday paper in your area will have a list of special events for the weekend. You can find some really interesting things to try that way. Flea market - Explore a local flea market one Saturday or Sunday.
