Dating after cheating can be a tricky proposition. Both of you, to some degree WANT to make your relationship work. The problem is that there are more than a few scars on hearts all around. Cheating often comes with a hefty price tag. Dating again is a great way to take your relationship in a new direction one step at a time. These first date ideas really rock and can make your decision to start dating after cheating all over again really pay off.
Consider a Themed Date
Make it something that will be relevant to you as a couple. You can try to recreate your first date or go with a theme that's special to you. For instance, if you've always talked about going to Italy some day, give this date an Italian theme. Go out for Italian food, rent an Italian film or flick (The Italian Job counts, right?), or visit a local museum with an Italian art exhibit. The key is to take this idea and make it relevant to something the two of you love. It can be anything: sailing, fishing, ice hockey, art, hiking, movies, or dancing. The sky really is the limit.
Fill Your Date with Laughter
While you want your first date to be one where you can talk as much as possible, it's also a great idea to take your date somewhere where he or she is sure to laugh a LOT. It's hard to be angry, nervous, or even terribly hurt while engaged in side-splitting belly laughs. It's true. The entire date doesn't have to revolve around the comedy club but it can be a great beginning or ending for your date. The key is to find a club that you will both find funny. That's the hard part in many situations but, you absolutely do NOT want your date to have a bad first date whether you're trying to save your relationship after cheating or looking for ways to get your ex back. So, make sure you find a comedian that fits with the comedic appetites of your date first and foremost.
Be Daring!
Do something you've both always talked about doing together but never done. Be brave! Take a risk! Have you always talked about going sky diving? Want to give bungee jumping a go? Go on a cruise? Learn Indian cooking together? Learn to sail? Take Latin dance lessons? What's the wild and wooly thing you've both been itching to try together but have never gotten around to doing? What better way is there to start the next chapter in your relationship than by taking care of a little unfinished business from the last chapter?
It doesn't matter if you're trying to save your relationship after cheating, stop a divorce, or you just want to get your ex back. The right first date ideas can really break the ice and get the conversation going.
