First Date Ideas

Fun first date ideas are often quite difficult to think up and, lets be honest, the first date is where the pressure is really on. It's make or break time and if you blow the first date and you can pretty much kiss a second date goodbye.

Couples really don't appreciate how much effort is put into just getting to this stage and it's because of this we are giving you some fun first date ideas to help you along.

A first date is exciting and fresh no matter how many you have been on and the real key to having a great time is to not make it dull.

So here are 8 great first date ideas that are never boring.

1. Go out to eat, but not at just one restaurant.

Start with drinks at one of your favorite quiet places then move along for appetizers, dinner, and dessert all at different places.

End up at one final stop for a quiet cup of coffee and some conversation, maybe about your next date.

2. Depending on your budget you could arrange a limo ride to a park for a picnic and a walk. This could be as long or as short as you choose but will allow you to get to know your date without anyone butting in.

3. Go out and try something new. If you have never been country western dancing, take a lesson and go to a country bar to try it out. You may flop, but would have a good time doing it.

4. Play truth or dare.

You remember the old game where you got to learn something about someone you didn't know before. Pick a place to eat and on the drive over you can get the conversation started with a quick game of truth or dare.

5. Attend a wine tasting or beer festival if you both like to drink. Don't over drink, but enjoy testing out various samples and compare what you both like.

6. To learn a little about each others tastes in various things go window shopping. If you live in an area with lots of stores you can walk and talk for hours getting to know more about each other and what you like and dislike.

7. You can never go wrong doing something sports related. Golfing, mountain climbing or even attending a sports event.

High School sports are a great place to feel the excitement in a local community and have a great time if your team wins.

8. Even a visit to a coffee shop and reading a book if you both like to read can be fun just enjoying each others company.

Fun first date ideas are anything that appeals to both of you and are not boring. These are just 8 ideas I've used in the past. There are plenty of books out there that also give you tons of ideas. If you're looking to check these books out, I recommend the one endorsed by Oprah: 300 Creative Date Ideas.

Creative Date Ideas

There are many fun date ideas that can appeal to both of you and have you looking forward to going out together.

If it is your first date it is always a good idea to go where there are quite a few other people as this takes some of the pressure off of the conversation.

If you have been going out for a while a fun date is one that is a little different yet enjoyable. Here are 7 fun date ideas that anyone can enjoy no matter what date they are on.

1. Bowling is one fun date that never gets old.

If you are a competitive bowler and your date is not remember this is a fun date and not a date to show off how good you are. You can join a competitive league at another time!

For now just have fun and try to limit the number of gutter balls your throw.

2. Going to the zoo is a very relaxing date that anyone can have a fun time doing. The animals provide the entertainment and you just walk around enjoying each others company in anticipation of what they are going to do next.

3. Did you ever play video games when you were young? Today a visit to an arcade will blow you away compared to how they used to be.

What is really neat is many of the old classic games like Pac Man and Donkey Kong are making a comeback and you get to play them again with your date.

4. As long as you are going back in time how about a trip to an amusement park. Eat cotton candy or a funnel cake. Ride the Ferris Wheel if you are not scared of heights. Take in a show. Amusement parks can take a first date and turn it into a great long date.

5. Baseball season turns into football season which turns into basketball and soccer season. You can have a lot of fun taking your date to a sporting event. I almost forgot about hockey or lacrosse. It doesn't matter what it is as long as both of you like watching it.

6. If you like to gamble how about a night out at a casino. Play the nickel slots or quarter machines. Step it up for a little more high stakes gambling if you feel like it. You can get the excitement level up a notch if your date is having a lucky night.

7. Are you are both athletic? How about going golfing or horse riding. Even playing putt putt is a lot of fun and you can be outdoors having a fun date.

Fun date ideas are when you both can go out and have a really good time together doing something a bit different from the norm.

Knowing a little about your date before you ask them out is a good idea and will give you a better chance of having a lot of fun.

Date Ideas To Freshen Up Your Relationship

There are a lot of things that you can do on a date but coming up with ideas for a fun date will make your dating experience so much better and keep things fresh.

You can keep to the traditional going out to dinner and then a movie and this works well for a lot of people, however, it can get very boring very quickly if it's the only sort of date you ever go on.

Here are 10 ideas for a fun date.

Date Idea 1: Head to the zoo or an aquarium. Just because you are not a young kid doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the zoo. You can walk around the zoo holding hands and sharing a snack while enjoying all the animals.

Date Idea 2: Have a candlelight picnic in your back yard. Just because it is night time doesn’t mean you can’t have a nice dinner outside. You can also bring out a radio so you can have some music and then dance with your partner.

Date Idea 3: Go to a couple of different cafes. You can have dinner at one and desert at another. Make sure that they are in walking distance so you can hold hands and enjoy the scenery together.

Date Idea 4: Take a horse drawn carriage ride around the park or around your town. You will have to see if this is available where you live. However, after the carriage ride you can go to any place that serves desert. Then share one with your date.

Date Idea 5: Go to a theme park. Some people won’t like this one but for those of you that do, go for it. Theme parks are always fun and this is a great way to act younger while being close to your date all day or night.

Date Idea 6: Go swimming at night just the two of you alone somewhere private.

Date Idea 7: Go to an art festival. Enjoy the sites and each other. Then find a quiet place where you can share a meal and talk.

Date Idea 8: Take a walk in the rain. When was the last time you let yourself go and did this? You can also dance in the rain. You will be wet but you will end up laughing a lot too.

Date Idea 9: Go ice skating. This is always fun. You will be able to hold each other while trying to stay on your feet. There will probably be a lot of laughter here too.

Date Idea 10: Go to a summer ball game. You can enjoy the game, put your arms around each other and enjoy a snack together.

These are just a few ideas for a fun date but there are hundreds more if you use your imagination. Be Creative and come up with something that will have your partner saying, WOW!
