Dating is so much more complicated these days. When you’ve finally gotten past the first stage of shooting your shot, your next step becomes the most crucial—planning the first date. First dates are tricky as they can determine if you’ll get a second date or get your number blocked.
Here are seven unconventional and exciting first date ideas that are sure to get you a second date.
Arts and Craft Centre
If your potential date likes art and happens to be a bit crafty, then you should opt for this. A fun trip to an art centre, paint-and-sip, or a pottery class is bound to be an experience for both parties. You don’t have to be a pro at any of the activities you choose. Just unwind and enjoy each other’s company. And if the date goes badly, at least you get to take home something you made.
Dinner And A Movie – With A Spin
An evening of getting to know each other over a nice meal and then a movie afterwards? Classic! But it’s also worn out. So to add a spin to it, try an outdoor movie. You could set it up in a safe location. With your personal computer and a projector, stream any film of your choice from Showmax, order take-out, and enjoy the evening.
It takes a lot of effort to put this one together. But didn’t you hear, it’s the little things?
Karaoke Bar
Let your inner child out with this one. Arcade and Karaoke dates are unconventional and fun. If you aren’t ashamed of embarrassing yourself by belting out your favourite song completely offkey in the presence of your date, then this is for you. Taking turns to serenade each other is a playful approach to getting to know your date. Who knows, you might be surprisingly gifted vocally, and that is a sure way to impress your date.
Book shopping
If you both happen to be book lovers, visiting a book store should be a no-brainer option. It creates a serene environment filled with things you both love. In this setup, you’ll hardly run out of things to talk about, not with every instalment of your favourite author’s catalogue sitting on the shelf for you both to thumb through.
Book shopping is an easy way to get to know your date.
Local Concerts Or Festivals
If you love music and the outdoors, then try this. Look up upcoming concerts, local bands, or festivals within your location. Get tickets to the ones that suit your taste and take your date on a thrilling night out. Imagine this scene; you and your date before a backdrop of colourful lights, swaying to good music while surrounded by good vibes and energy.
Sports Park Or Recreation Centre
For sporty couples, a sports park or recreational centre is an unconventional option. You could take your date to a tennis court or a golf course. This setting will help in creating an exciting dynamic between yourselves. A ping pong game is also a fantastic option. Another playful option would be a paintball shooting park.
Art Gallery
Art galleries are a beautiful location for a date. You don’t have to be an art critic or buff to enjoy them. Spend the day strolling down the halls while enjoying the different displays of art around you. You won’t have to be worried about running out of things to talk about when the art could work as ice breakers. You could make conversation about the design pieces, the artist, and your favourite work so far.
