Funny and Entertaining: Dates that will make you laugh
Some cities have large botanical gardens that can be visited and enjoyed for a small fee (and even free). Many botanical gardens usually have picnic areas, an activity area, animals, and, of course, lots of plants and flowers for better dating relationships. After the tour, you can rest on a bench, have a snack, and feed the birds.
1. Try to have a plenary session at a bowling alley
A date at the bowling alley is informal and offers great possibilities for contact and closeness. Take a one-on-one and challenge each other to see who gets the first strike.
Don’t be afraid of the slight physical contacts that may arise, such as elbows and high fives. Don’t feel uncomfortable!
Play a game of miniature golf
Yes, believe it or not, if you look hard enough, you still have a chance to find a miniature golf course somewhere in your town, where you can have some fun with your date. Even if you have no previous experience, the learning experience can be just as satisfying.
Your competitiveness will eventually come out on top, but that’s not bad either. Don’t forget to arm yourself with questions and conversation topics that will help you get to know your date a little better.
3. Jump on trampolines
Trampolines aren’t just for kids. They’re also fun for adults. Many of the sites that offer these activities organize fun events for adults as well, such as basketball games, zero-gravity dance parties or fitness classes.
Take a look at the activities at the nearest trampoline center and decide whether to go for an organized activity or go it alone and play your own game.
4. Crown the summit at a climbing wall
Even if you’ve never climbed a wall before, it’s still a good idea. It’ll make your first-date experience even more fun. You could have a friendly competition to see who gets to the top first.
To make things more interesting, before you start, agree on the prize for the winner and the punishment for the second place.
5. Stay for breakfast and get dressed like you were in the ’50s
If originality is your thing, why not organize a breakfast set in the 50’s? Ask your date to meet you early and dress according to the era: pastel-coloured dresses for her, striped suit and scarf for him and, of course, hats for both of you.
Talk formally and, if you’re the girl, try to act shy. If possible, try to find a café that fits your chosen style.
Elegant and Luxurious: appointments where you can show off your level (economic and cultural)
1. Make a reservation at a luxury restaurant
A dinner date at an expensive restaurant can be both the best and the worst idea. Some people don’t like having people around, watching them while they eat; it can make them feel self-conscious. However, if neither of you has that problem, this can be a great way to get through the first date and get to know each other better.
Remember that these types of restaurants usually have a long waiting list, so it’s best to make your reservation early, unless you have contacts.
2. Enjoy the views of the city from a helicopter
Yes, you can rent a helicopter, if you don’t have one of your own. Enjoy the city from a bird’s eye view, it’s sure to impress your date. It’s an exciting experience that will be fun for both of you. And what is more rewarding than seeing the surprise in her eyes and the smile on her lips?
3. Do a wine tasting in a winery or a vineyard
A trip to the nearest winery or vineyard is a fantastic idea for a classic first date. You could do a wine tasting and find out (or affirm) what your favorite type of wine is, which could be a good basis for your next appointments (at least you’ll already know your drinking preferences!)
You could also learn more about how wines are made and discover new tastes and smells. Not only will you have a good time, but you will also learn a couple of things.
4. Visit a museum or an art gallery
If you want to have a first intellectual and cultured date, a museum or an art gallery can be the ideal place to discover your tastes and open your souls.
If you both like art and philosophy, you could share your knowledge and opinions about specific pieces. Generally, sharing ideas on an intellectual level will make you discover if you and your date are on the same wavelength, which is very important in a relationship.
5. Go to the opening of an exhibition
Nothing is chicer than attending the opening of an art exhibition. At this type of event, people dress up in white and champagne glasses accompany the evening. You rub shoulders with artists and, if you like something, you can always participate in a bid.
Going to an opening will allow you to see how your date interacts with other people, which is crucial if you are a person who goes to many events and social greetings.
