First Date Ideas

Picnic at the Park

Having a picnic at the park can be a great way to get to know each other. All that is needed is some good food, a blanket and a spot with a good view. Choose an area of the park that has a good view but is not overly crowded. A beautiful park is a romantic place to spend time together. After the picnic lunch or dinner, a couple can go for a walk and enjoy the scenery.

Go for a Helicopter Ride

If both parties enjoy adventuresome activities, then going for a helicopter ride together can be a lot of fun. It is also something that is unique and that many people have not tried before. A helicopter ride offers a very nice view and will be a date that is not soon forgotten.

Go to the Beach

There is hardly anything more romantic than a walk on the beach as the sun sets. This is a great way to get to know each other. Besides walking and talking, a couple can also enjoy a snack or even a meal at a beachfront cafe or restaurant.

Do Something Active

If both parties enjoy exercising and active activities, then doing something active for a date can be lots of fun. Going bowling together is a good option, as it is not only enjoyable but also gives both parties the time to talk to each other. Rollerblading is also fun, as is ice skating. Miniature golf is yet another option for those who are looking for an activity that is not overly strenuous.

Have a Bonfire

A man who rents or owns a home can invite his date to a bonfire at the house. This can be held either in the front or back yard. All that is needed is some wood, kindling, matches, marshmallows, sticks and a blanket. A couple can not only eat and talk but also do some stargazing.

Go to an Interesting Place

Going to an interesting place together is a great way to have a relaxing, enjoyable date without spending a lot of money. However, a man planning such a date should take the time to find out what type of place a woman would like to visit. Some ideas of places that one may want to go to include the zoo, a local planetarium, a museum, a scenic church or a local tourist attraction.

Volunteer Together

Volunteering at a local shelter is not a common date idea,  it is more popular than many people realize. There are many places where one can volunteer with a partner and not only spend time together but also do something that benefits the community. Alternatively, a couple can volunteer together at a local pet shelter.

These are just some of the many fun first date ideas that one can consider. However, the key to making any date idea successful is to do something that both parties will enjoy. A man who is planning a first date for a woman he wants to get to know better should first find out what the woman enjoys doing.

There really is no first date idea that is “better” than another; it all depends on what the couple feels comfortable doing and what their likes, dislikes and preferences are.

While making a good first impression is important, the most important thing of all is to try to make the other person happy and enjoy getting to know each other better without putting up fronts.
