New Ideas for the First Date
Keep in mind the purposes of a first date. You want to learn about each
other, but you may also want to minimize too much intensity, to ease your
anxieties. So while you might want to be alone to some extent, you might not
want too much aloneness. That means you might not want to go to a party where
there are lots of singles. You also might not want to put your date in
too-personal a setting too soon, like meeting your parents or going to a family
function.
If you already know that you really want to be together, then anywhere you go
is fine. Whatever you share, you will have a good time. but in case you're at a
loss for what to do, here are some suggestions:
- A picnic in the park
- A visit to a museum for a special exhibit
- A matinee or evening performance of a play
- A live concert in the park on a Sunday afternoon, or a nighttime music
club or concert by your favorite band
- A ballet
- An afternoon trip to an amusement park or a zoo
- A walk along the beach, a pier, or any waterfront promenade
- Any sport you can do together, such as shooting pool, bowling, or
playing fold or tennis. Other sports (such as skiing) involve more time and more
complicated preparations, so save these for future dates)
