Where Can We Go on Our First Date?

Posted By: | Posted On: | Article ID:

You’ve spent some time chatting with someone online and now it’s time to take the big leap and finally meet in person. But where should you go? Before deciding where to go, you both need to agree on what kind of date you will share – Dutch treat or a more traditional date? Many people are most comfortable paying their own way or going Dutch on the first ‘getting acquainted’ date. If you’re going to go on a more traditional date with the man picking up the tab, a moderately priced night out is more appropriate.

There are several other points to consider when choosing where to go on a first date:

Mutual Interest – Don’t waste your time planning an evening out without checking with your date whether your choice is good for them. A sporting event may be a great option for one partner and an absolute bore for the other.
Conversation or Entertainment – Will it be a time to talk and get to know one another more deeply or rather a time to just be together for a relaxing time?

Food – Don’t make the mistake and assume that what you like to eat will be the same for your date. Be considerate and make your choice known in advance and be willing to compromise.

Weather – The season of the year and the weather directly impact your choice. Look ahead at the weather report and alter your plans as needed. Be prepared!

We’ve included some ideas, including several free things to do. Use your own imagination and personalize the time so that you can make the most of the date.

Quiet Places to Relax and Chat
-Visit a local jazz or blues bar where you can sit in a corner, undisturbed and get to know each other better or just enjoy the atmosphere.
-A trip to the zoo can be a great place to talk yet, have the animals to talk about, if conversation gets strained.
-An art gallery or museum is another great place to meander through and be able to have a conversation.
-A dinner date is often the typical first date. Just be sure you’ve agreed on a particular type of food ahead of time. Make reservations, if you’ve decided on an upscale establishment to avoid the embarrassment of having to change plans because they can't accommodate you.
-Outdoor activities such as a picnic, a walk on the beach or ice skating on a local pond offer nearly free opportunities to get to know your date.

Going for Entertainment
-Going to the movies or the theater offers a topic for conversation afterward, but be careful when choosing the movie. Avoid anything sexually explicit or anything traumatic or scary. Comedies are usually a safe bet and can help you relax. Consult your date ahead of time.
-Comedy clubs can help break the ice by opening up the humorous side of life.
-Theme parks offer a multitude of things to do. If you just want to enjoy being together, this is the place to go.
-Check out your local paper for events or attractions in your area that may be of interest. Call in advance to make sure seats are available or order in advance.

Whatever you decide, remember that your date is just as nervous as you are and looking to have a good time. Relax and enjoy yourself!
