There’s nothing like new love. It’s that type of love that will keep you up at night wondering, what if. The type that you fall asleep with on the phone and wake up to the next day without a second missed. Everyone will experience these firsts at some point in their lives. But the first step to kicking it all off, is the first date.
Check out these 6 first dates to consider to make your first experience together, unforgettable:
Plan a picnic at a local park.
Sure, taking a quick trip to your neighborhood park is easy and convenient. But adding a well-thought-out picnic to that will make it a time to remember. If you know he or she loves a certain fruit, brand of chip or candy, make sure to include all of the “little” things that they may not expect.
Explore the city, digital free.
If you’re close to a big city like New York or Chicago, get lost in the bustling streets of the city. On a nice warm night out, take a long walk to absolutely nowhere.
Leave your phones in the car and just let the wind blow you two wherever your feet may lead you. You’ll have fun getting lost together while talking in each other and getting to know the ins and outs of one another.
Go miniature golfing.
This is an old-school classic but it is by far the most time you’ll ever spend 1-on-1 in one night. Not only will you two find time to talk but you may also have a chance to get physically closer without crossing the boundaries.
Attend a cooking class.
Get things cooking by taking a cooking class with your love interest. This is perfect as it will show you how well they communicate, how much ambition they have, and how good they are in the kitchen!
Drive-in dining.
If this isn’t the most nostalgic romantic place... If you’re lucky enough to have one of these gems in your city, take full advantage of it!
As many are becoming abandoned parking lots, these cheap movie spots were once the highlight of our parents' relationships. Classic and cozy, bring dinner with you to make it a complete date night.
Visit a museum.
Although it may not seem fun, trust, if you find the right museum, you’ll spend hours learning and discovering something new together. Visit a natural history or science museum and get lost for hours with each other while finding abandoned parts of the museum to sneak in some cuddle time.
