If you find yourself having a hard time sitting still for more than five minutes, these date location options may be just suitable for you. If active is your lifestyle and active is your middle name, try these on for size when your interest lies in somebody of similar interests....
Grab some bikes and go trail biking or for a relaxed trip thru the park, throw a pack together and go back packing, hiking or horseback riding along a breathtaking trail, or head off to the closest entertainment park. Excitement in the water is bound to ensue if you decide to go tubing, jet skiing, or paddle cruising. For a touch more romantic first date : go sail cruising.
First Dates for the Athlete
Foster a little healthy competition with your latest love interest and challenge him or her to an exhausting tennis match, one or two rounds of golfing, or have a good old-fashioned catch with a baseball. Need more effort than that? Think about going for a tour of the city on roller blades or find a car park and grab a crate, a ball and 2 hockey sticks and see who can score the most goals. Chances are you will both drop the gloves in almost no time!
Is the likelihood of rain threatening your out of doors festivities? No matter-take your competitive spirits within and shoot some pool, throw some darts or luxuriate in some video games. Who says you're too far gone to have a good time at the arcade?
Sophisticated First Dates
Care to swap some intellectual titbits or compare tastes in fine art and history? You can learn a lot more about an individual by passing some time together at a museum or an art studio. Figure out what he or she likes, and maybe you may also use your own artistic talent to create an artistic work as a surprise on a future date with this person.
Another option for a more refined first date : Accompany each other to a natural or historic landmark in or near your community. Dunk yourselves in the natural wonders of a nearby park or other local attraction.
First Dates for the Chatterboxes
Catching a flick together may not be your best shot if you truly want to begin to know your date right away...instead, consider a picnic followed by a canoe ride. Your date will be impressed with the tasty food you provide, and the pair of you can enjoy some conversation while attempting to not tip the canoe!
As the warmer months roll in, think cool and hit up a local ice cream joint for some tasty frozen pleasures. Now go burn up some calories with a chilled mooch thru the park, around the lake, along the coast or by whatever wondrous natural locales wait for you.
First Dates for Shy Girls and Men
Sometimes hitting it off with your date right away is a bit hard when your character is on the shyer side. If your date is also a bit timid, a great way to get both of you gabbing in virtually no time is to head out and do something together which will give you conversation material for hours.
Some great icebreakers : Catch a production together and then go grab some dessert or coffee. Compare musical tastes and meet somewhere in the middle-go see a concert and you will be fed the entire ride home. If you both enjoy sports, or better if you both cheer for a similar sports groups, try and catch a game together. Your fervour will certainly become infective and you'll both have a wonderful time.
Conventional and Standby First Dates
Dinner and a film is a no-fail option for a successful first date, though it can be a bit awkward if you don't know the person very well. Maybe a better choice is to go out for some tiny golfing and Italian water ice or ice cream after you battle one another to the Eighteenth hole!
Another choice that offers a better chance to essentially start to know your date is a visit to the ice-skating rink or just rollerblading or bike riding along the boardwalk or a non-busy road. Additionally, if you like the dinner and a movie idea but you do not want to fall into cookie-cutter first date syndrome, order up some Chinese take-out, a pizza, or whatever kind of food you can agree upon and hire a couple of flicks. A night in with the freedom to stop the film at any point to chat is an important advantage to the close silence of motion picture theatres.
Any one of these first date options will give you a great starting point with your date, but don't limit yourselves. If one of you feels moved to bounce in the automobile and hit the beach at two in the morning and the second one is up for it, by every means live with a safe spirit of adventure. As you find out more about each other, the dates will appear and disappear until you've been seeing your sweet one for such a long time that your outings do not even appear like dates any longer. Don't stress out about the 1st, 2nd or 3rd dates... Simply relax and enjoy yourselves, and the rest should all fit into place.
