Looking for new first date ideas? Perhaps all you ever consider is dinner and a movie but if you think this girl might be worth some thought or first dates tend to feel awkward then try switching it up. Here are five easy date ideas to get out of the dinner and movie funk. They aren’t anything mind-boggling but she remember how your first date was extra special and most importantly you’ll get a feel if you mesh well enough for date #2. I’m sure even those in relationships could be up for this too.
1. Have a picnic on the beach, in the park, or mountains. If you like the idea of a conversation over dinner, ask her to meet you at a public beach or park (it’s not creepy this way) and win some romance points. You don’t even need to cook the meal, you can order the meals to go and then set up shop on your beach blanket.
2. Take Her To A Game. If you are a huge sports and your looking for a match to your competitive and athletic side, try taking her to a ball game. Most girls enjoy watching games live and enjoy the atmosphere. If you know she is definitely an athlete challenge her to the driving range or a game of beach volleyball and end it with your picnic (above).
3. Go Bowling. Neither one of you may be talented at bowling (or maybe you are) but regardless it’s a more relaxed version of a little friendly competition and a perfect way to continue conversations from dinner. Another variation is going Miniature Golfing and whoever wins gets to pick dessert at dinner!
4. Take Her To The Theater. If you are a man of tradition, spend the evening over a nice dinner and end it with a great night watching a play (Wicked, Hairspray, etc). Rather than going to a rom-com movie watch some live entertainment on Broadway or your local theater.
5. Laugh Together At A Comedy Show. If you’re looking for a women who loves to laugh and has a good sense of humor treat her to a night full of laughter. You can laugh about and discuss the show together over dinner. Yes, go to the comedy show then dinner if you really want to switch things up.
See guys, these are pretty simple dates to plan but it will leave a lasting impression over the typical dinner date. If you guys have more first date ideas, please share them in the comments below!
