What Redditors are Saying

TL;DR: For unique and memorable date ideas, consider cooking together, going on a picnic, visiting a local zoo or botanical garden, or engaging in fun activities like mini-golf or board games. Creative options include taking a class together, exploring your city as tourists, or planning surprise outings. The key is to focus on experiences that foster connection and enjoyment.

Creative Date Ideas

  1. Cooking Together: One of the most intimate and enjoyable date ideas is to cook a meal together. This allows for collaboration and creativity while also providing an opportunity to bond over food. You can even make it more interesting by trying out new recipes or themes, such as a specific cuisine 1:1.

  2. Picnic in the Park: Pack a picnic with your favorite snacks and drinks and head to a scenic park. This casual setting encourages conversation and relaxation. To add a playful element, bring along a frisbee or a ball to toss around 5:1.

  3. Visit a Zoo or Botanical Garden: Exploring a zoo or botanical garden can be a delightful way to spend time together. It provides plenty of opportunities for conversation and shared experiences, although it's wise to choose less crowded times to enhance intimacy 1:4.

  4. Game Night: Whether it's video games or board games, a game night can be a fun and competitive way to connect. Consider inviting friends for a group game night or keeping it just between the two of you for a more intimate experience 1:1.

  5. Take a Class Together: Engaging in a class—be it pottery, painting, or cooking—can be a great way to learn something new while spending quality time together. Many cities offer one-time classes that are perfect for couples looking to try something different 2:4.

Adventurous and Fun Activities

  1. Outdoor Adventures: Plan a hike or go ice skating. These activities not only promote physical activity but also allow for light-hearted moments and bonding through shared challenges 7:4.

  2. Attend Local Events: Check out local festivals, farmers markets, or food truck events. These settings provide a relaxed atmosphere where you can explore various foods and enjoy live entertainment together 9:1.

  3. Surprise Outings: Keep the excitement alive by planning surprise dates. This could involve spontaneous trips to nearby towns, visiting a museum, or even a drive-in movie night 2:3 10:1.

  4. Volunteer Together: If you both love animals, consider volunteering at a local animal shelter. This not only helps the community but also allows you to see each other's compassionate sides 1:8.

  5. Stargazing: For a romantic evening, find a quiet spot away from city lights, bring some blankets, and enjoy stargazing together. This can lead to deep conversations and a sense of wonder 1:9.

Final Thoughts

The best date ideas are those that encourage interaction, laughter, and connection. Focus on activities that allow you to engage with each other rather than simply being entertained. Whether it's cooking, exploring, or learning something new, the goal is to create lasting memories together.

"today I'm going to rank every single date idea that I can think of. Hopefully this helps those of   you that are unsure about what to do for a first date and also those of you that are already in   a relationship but have run out of ideas because it's always good to spice things up. Now the truth   of the matter is all date ideas can be good it really depends on what you and your date enjoy but   it wouldn't be a tier-list video if I didn't have some sort of ranking system so the four things   I'm going to use to rank each of these data ideas today are number one how casual is it this refers   to how much effort is needed to set up and go on such a date casual dates are usually better for   first and second dates as they are a lower time commitment and seem more natural which makes your   date feel more comfortable number two how much Rapport can be built on such a date this means how   much talking eye contact and light touching will naturally occur this is crucial for furthering any   romantic relationship number three how fun is it How likely will you and your day laugh and   smile because of course you want your date to look back on this day with fond memories and finally no   number four how flexible is it meaning does it allow you to do other stuff before or after the   date because the more things you do with someone the more Rapport is built with that being said   let's Jump Right In so we'll start off with one of the most common date ideas going to the movies   it's super casual doesn't require much planning it's flexible because you can do something before   and after but the problem is you can't really talk or even look at each other during a movie   so it's very hard to build any Rapport which is especially important early on in a relationship   you can do movies later on but definitely not for a first or second date so I'm going to put it into   the Beats here next on our list is one of my old favorites which is the park I used to bring all my   dates to a park back when I was living in New York City and that's because it's very casual with tons   of flexibility right you can grab a bite nearby and walk around while talking and depending on   what's In the Park you can do a bunch of different stuff like playing the swings or sit somewhere and   enjoy a nice view there's a lot of opportunities to build rapport while doing these things but it   really depends on what park you you bring them to so overall I'd give this an a next up on our list   is grabbing a meal together personally I prefer to grab a meal before I do another activity like   a walk in the park but it's perfectly fine to just do lunch or dinner if it's a first or second date   it gives you time to get to know the person and it's also a low time commitment thing so it comes   off as very casual now it's definitely built into us to feel closer to people that we share meals   with so you can build a good amount of Rapport but it really depends on your conversation skills   so overall I would rank this as a low a tier idea as it's usually not that fun or memorable   on the other hand you have going for street food I would actually rank this higher than just grabbing   dinner because getting street food usually means that you're walking around a night market or   some sort of Street Fair where there's tons of different food and things to do which makes the   experience much more fun I would rank this as a high a tier because as all the benefits of sharing   a meal while having a lot more activities that you can do together but only if you can find a   good spot next up on our list is going to a museum or an exhibit this is a date idea that's great for   deep thinkers now personally I don't think this is a good first aid activity unless you know for   sure that your date is interested in this type of stuff because some people might find the entire   experience boring if however you and your date love talking about deep ideas and admiring art   or history then it's definitely something that could work it's also pretty casual and flexible   so overall I'll give it a high beat next up we got going for a drink at a bar now this is one of   the most common dates you'll see in young adults I know some of you look down on the idea of getting   intoxicated with someone else but in many places around the world it's part of the culture so it   comes off as a very casual date now alcohol lowers inhibitions so it'll make both of you   less anxious this often leads to more playful touching and flirting but you gotta make sure   that you and your data are pacing yourself don't binge drink because you don't want to be put in a   situation where you or your date get too drunk one to three drinks for the night is ideal now   personally I will rank this in the mid 80s here as it's a perfectly funded idea at any point of a   relationship but only if you and your partner are open to social drinking next up we have grabbing   a coffee or tea which is the classic 15 minute date this is by far the most casual of all date   ideas and it's best used for a first date its purpose is to see if there's any chemistry at   all now this type of date is not fun later on in a relationship because at that point it's   not really even a date I'm putting this into the low eights here because it's something that you   can use early on in any relationship it's the most casual of all dates and it's a very flexible date   idea that allows you to transition into something else later on in the day if there is chemistry   next up we got Pottery or some sort of crafting activity where you and your partner go somewhere   and make something together this is quite the time investment because it can take a few hours to make   whatever it is that you're trying to make and you also have to be quite focused on what's happening   in front of you now there is some room to build rapport you can joke around about whose cup looks   better but for the most part you'll be focused on what's Happening in front of you overall I'd give   this some mid beats here it's a decent date idea but only later on in a relationship there is the   added bonus of creating something together that will remind you of the date I once made a bowl   of my girlfriend and we still use it to this day and every time we eat from that bowl it brings   back some fond memories similarly we have the cooking class date which is something that I've   gone on multiple times it's basically the same as a crafting date personally I like this more   because I like to compete with my girlfriend to see who's the better chef but overall everything   is about the same so I'm giving it a slightly higher beat here right above crafting next up we   have ice skating this is a somewhat casual date idea that's great at building Rapport because   most people are not great at skating which means there's the potential for a lot of light touching   if you or your partner is a newbie you can hold their hand to steady their balance you can stay   by them as a safeguard if they're about to fall stuff like that and usually you'll find skating   rings in or near malls which gives the added flexibility of doing something before or after   the dates so overall I'm going to rank this as a mid a tier it's not something that you'd usually   do for a first date as it is the sort of mental commitment especially if they've never done it   before but it is pretty good for a second date onwards in my opinion as it can lead to a very   fun and memorable experience next up we got going to a sports event this is similar to going to the   movies as your focus is on the event in front of you but there is this added bonus of feeling   the energy of the crowd which does not happen at the movies this does make it more fun but only if   you and your date are both fans of the sport the state is a pretty big time commitment so overall   I'm gonna rank it as a b tier idea it's slightly higher than movies because you can build more   Rapport and it's also a more memorable experience now before we rank the next date idea I like to   give a quick shout out to the sponsors of today's video audible I've been using Audible for years   now in fact I really don't read physical books anymore and that's because I find listening to   audiobooks to be far more effective using Audible has allowed me to learn life-changing things on   the go while I'm doing my my grocery shopping commuting somewhere or doing my daily chores   it's far more convenient than having to bring a physical book with me wherever I go as an audible   member you can choose one title a month to keep from their entire catalog this includes almost   all of the latest bestsellers and new releases for all genres including Memoirs motivational   educational business philosophy and much more members will also gain full access to a growing   selection of audible Originals podcasts and more go to audible.com forward slash Improvement pill   or text Improvement pill to 500 500 to get access to Audible for 30 days free today now back to the   topic at hand we got the zoo which is basically the same as going to the park but there's usually   more stuff to do at zoos but it does feel slightly less casual than the park maybe it's the fact that   you have to pay to go in or because you have to wait on lines but overall it's still a great spot   in my opinion so I'm giving it a slightly lower ranking than the park next up we got the mall   which is by far the most flexible of all date ideas there there's food arcades bowling alleys   sometimes even skating rinks in movie theaters going to the mall is extremely casual because   people hang out in the mall all the time this plus the unmatched flexibility makes it in my   opinion one of the best spots for first date or any date in general which is why it deserves a   spot in the S tier then we gotta go into the spa or getting a massage together this is something   that you should probably only do much later on in a relationship as it can be a pretty big time   commitment and you can't really talk or even look at each other when you're getting massages   so there's not much Rapport that can be built so overall I'm gonna have to put this in the low B   tier next up we got a couples dance class now this is a pretty big jump outside of once comfort zone   so it's something you should say for much later on in a relationship but if you do go on this date it   is by far one of the most Rapport building dates out there because you and your partner literally   have to be in sync in body and mind in order to execute the moves properly so overall I'd   give this a low a tier because it can only be done when you're ready very comfortable with each other   then we got karaoke now this is a pretty fun day idea you have the option to get drinks which can   lead to a wild night where you can do it sober but either way doing karaoke usually requires a fair   amount of Rapport to have already been built most people feel shy singing in front of others so it's   definitely not something you do for a first date but later on maybe for a third or fourth date it's   a great idea it also depends on the culture there are some countries Where It's Perfectly Normal to   do karaoke and others where it's much more rare so I'm giving it a low a tier ranking as it's quite   Niche then we got the beach now this is a pretty big commitment depending on how far away the beach   is and also the fact that you have to bring a bunch of stuff like a change of clothes towels   and sunscreen personally I don't find going to the beach fun if it's a one-on-one date it's usually   more fun for me when there's a large group of people so I'm giving it a high beat here as it's   a bit harder to pull off and definitely not for a first date unless you literally live next to   a beach or if there's something like an amusement park next to it that you can go to which brings us   to the amusement park now this is by far one of my favorite data ideas these days it is a pretty big   time commitment so you shouldn't really use it for a first date but it scores high in all three of   the other aspects it's extremely fun with tons of flexibility because there's endless things to do   and there's plenty of time to talk while you wait for rides or eat and even though it's usually a   huge time commitment it does come off as extremely casual and playful because it's essentially a   giant playground so this is definitely going into the S tier for me on the other hand you have the   water park which is basically an amusement park but with water so it has all the benefits of the   amusement park but it's an even bigger commitment mentally because you have to wear more revealing   clothes which a lot of people would not be comfortable with early on in a relationship so   it's definitely not something you do for a first date but overall I put it in the high a tier it's   loads of fun but maybe only from the third date onwards then we got the escape room which is   basically where you put in a room and have to solve puzzles to get out it's only a one hour   commitment and it's usually located in a mall so there's tons of flexibility but it's an acquired   taste some people enjoy it others don't personally I love going to these even outside of dating like   if I'm hanging out with someone for the first time I usually ask them to do an escape room with me   when you're doing one you're forced to work as a team to overcome obstacles so it's amazing at   building Rapport it's also very memorable because you're put in a high stakes environment that's   totally different than anything you'd normally experience in real life so overall I'd give   this a high a tier next we got bowling I think this is the most casual of these sports related   dates right it's fairly easy to learn and unlike other sports you don't constantly have to move so   there's a ton of time to talk there's even room for some friendly competition so you can actually   build a good amount of Rapport easily on top of that there's usually food and drinks so you can   share a meal which is always a plus it's also not much of a time commitment and it's pretty pretty   flexible depending on where the bowling alley is located so overall I'd give this a middle a tier   then we have the arcade which is one of my favorite date spots it's actually where I took my   girlfriend for our first date it's very casual and comes off as very playful and it's almost always   in or near a mall nowadays so there's tons of flexibility there are tons of games you can play   which can also lead to some friendly competition and if it's one of those arcades that gives you   tickets you can even win a prize that gives you a memorable little stuffed animal or something   along those lines this is the perfect date at any point in a relationship so in my eyes it deserves   a high spot in the S tier next up is rock climbing now this is definitely not something you should do   for a first date unless you and your date both happen to love it I'm saying this because it's   quite the workout every time I go rock climbing I end up being covered in sweat with extremely sore   forearms so it's quite the ask for a first date there also isn't much time for building Rapport   as you're mostly focused on the wall in front of you so overall I'm putting this in the mid B tier   then we got clubbing now personally I love going to the club but it's one of those things that only   certain people like usually those who enjoy crowds drinking socially or dancing if your date isn't   really into any of that then there are better options out there but if they are then it's one   of the funnest ways to end the night there's tons of flexibility because you can do a bunch of stuff   before going to the club like grabbing dinner together when you're at the club there's tons   of Rapport you can build tons of light touching that occurs from dancing together overall it's   not great for a first date but from the second date onwards it can be quite fun so I'm putting   it in the a tier the same goes for a party we're talking about something like a house party now   the main difference between this and clubbing is that people at House Parties usually know each   other so it requires even more of a mental commitment from your day to want to go with   you assuming they don't know anyone there so it's something you shouldn't do until much later on in   a relationship which is why I'm putting it in the low a tier and then we got going to a comedy show   or some sort of live show which is sort of like a movie but a bit less casual visual but also a bit   more memorable especially if the comedian points you out and makes fun of you as a couple overall   I think this is better saved for later on in the relationship where you don't have to talk as much   but can enjoy some laughs together I'd actually rank this slightly lower than the movies because   it's less casual and a bit more of an acquired taste next up we got a couple's painting class   now in my eyes this is basically the same as crafting as you're focused on what's happening   in front of you and you end up with a piece of art that you can hang up on your wall for the   Memories although I'll place it slightly higher than crafting because it's usually less of a time   commitment then we got an interesting one which is inviting them over this is incredibly hard to   pull off for a first date because it requires a lot of trust but from the second date onward it's   definitely doable now whenever you bring someone over you're sharing the intimate part of your life   with them you're showing them what type of person you are so it's very memorable and it builds a   ton of report there's also a ton of flexibility depending on what you decide to do in the house   you could cook a meal together play games together or even Netflix and chill so overall I placed this   in the lowest here because it's one of the most intimate dates but it usually requires several   dates before your partner is comfortable doing this then we got canoeing or kayaking or any   other water sport like this this is a pretty big commitment some people get seasick or are scared   of water because they can't swim so it's really not for everyone if however they happen to love   water sports then it can be great you get to sightsee while having plenty of time talking   to each other when you're on water but because it's so Niche I'm putting it into the high beats   here and then we got camping or going on a road trip both of these are huge time commitments that   require a lot of trust so they're only viable much later on in a relationship if you do go it   can be quite fun but you have to make sure you plan ahead and bring a ton of things to do it's   very memorable and great at building Rapport because you're basically surviving together so   I'm placing it in the low eights here because it's such a huge commitment then we got laser   tag this is something that I love doing it's a lot of fun but it's a pretty big ask for first   date you're basically running around non-stop for 15 minutes and most people are simply not trying   to get sweaty on a first date the great thing is that these are usually located in malls so there's   a ton of flexibility and it's memorable because it's you and your partner against the world but   again it's not that great for a first date so I'm putting it in the low a tier then we got three   date ideas that are all very similar watching a sunset hanging out on a rooftop and stargazing   all three of these are great ways to end a date but they shouldn't be the only thing that you do   on a date they're more like a cherry on top so I'm placing them all in the beads here if they are the   only thing that you do but if you stack them with anything else on this list then they would jump up   to a higher tier next up we got a random tour in the city this is only fun if either one of you is   not a local because well locals don't really get excited going to well-known tour sites in their   own City overall this is a decent in date idea because it's pretty flexible and it gives you   a ton of time to build rapport but because it's usually such a big time commitment I'm putting it   in the high B tier then we got doing a puzzle together this is a very casual date idea that   usually occurs at someone's house so it requires that level of Rapport to pull off it's very casual   but kind of boring so it's definitely something for later on in a relationship when you've run   out of stuff to do together it does give you something nice that you can hang up on the wall   though but I'm still gonna have to place this into the low B tier and then we have going to   a concert or Rave now this is a popular thing to do as a couple nowadays but usually much later on   in a relationship because you can't really talk at a concert or Rave but you can dance together   it's also not for everyone because you have to enjoy large crowds although there is this magical   feeling of being one with the crowd that usually occurs which is nice overall if you're both into a   certain type of music it can be fun so I'm putting it in the low 80s here because although it's niche   it is quite common for people to like stuff like this next up we got biking this is a somewhat   casual thing you can do you both rent some bikes and bike around the city this allows you to be   pretty flexible because you can visit multiple spots and do different things like eat or sightsee   if you plan out a few locations to go to then this can be quite the enjoyable date so I'm putting   it in the mid a tier then we have a trampoline park for those of you that don't know what this   is basically it's a giant facility filled with trampolines that you jump up and down on it's sort   of fun you can do back flips and jump into foam pits you also have plenty of time to build rapport   and talk as you explore the different parts of the park I usually see these in malls which is great   for flexibility now I wouldn't do this for a first date but from the second date onwards it does seem   all right so overall I'd put it in the low a tier next up we got hiking this is enjoyable if you and   your partner like nature but it does require a fair amount of trust because you're going into   the Wilderness together it's also quite the time commitment so it's not something I would do early   on in a relationship so overall I'm putting it in the high B tier then we got something interesting   which is sleeping over in a unique place where you book a strange Airbnb a haunted apartment or   something along those lines of course since you're sleeping together it's not something you can do   early on in a relationship but it can lead to very memorable experiences and loads of fun depending   on how interesting the place is because it can be hard to find a worthwhile spot I'm putting it   into the B tier then we have volunteering where you work together to help others out it's filled   with Good Vibes but it's not something I would do early on in a relationship because it's quite the   time commitment and the focus is on others and not you and your partner but it is a nice way to spend   the day if the two of you enjoy helping others out overall I'm putting this into the low beats here   as it is a very Niche idea and finally we have mini golf which is a fun casual date idea not a   huge time commitment and depending on where it's located it can be quite flexible there's a ton of   time into chat while playing which is great for report so this can be a good choice for first or   second day which is why I'm putting it into the a tier and that's it we just went over 40 different   date ideas I know some of you may not agree with my rankings but hopefully this video served this   purpose by giving you a huge list of things you can do for dates in general if you ever do go on"

"is that it's important for couples to intentionally do things together, that are novel, and fun things that keep that spark alive. Think back to when you were dating your spouse before you got married. When I think back to when my husband and I were dating, his name is Rob, when we were dating, we were just wide eyed in wonder towards each other, I could not get to know enough about him. And I loved the dates that we went on. In fact, we dated long distance. So pretty much every time we were together was a date, whether it was over an extended weekend or a time when I would go visit him for a while, or he would come up to my parents house and stay, it felt like every time we were together was a date. And when I really think back to it, it's not just because we were doing some novel great and fun things, although we did and I'm going to share some tips with you, in this video, have some great date ideas to respect that intimacy in your marriage, and re spark that romance in your marriage again, especially if it's begun to fade. But it wasn't just what we did. It was how we did it. It was the connection that we made with each other in our dates in our time together, that made all of the difference. And that's the point of dating. And that's the point of continuing to date your spouse is that you continue to know each other to keep knowing each other and to get to know each other more. Because as long as you've been married, it doesn't matter. You could have been married a year, 510 50 years. I guarantee you don't know everything about your spouse, because your spouse changes every day. And so do you. When I was interviewing Dr. John Gottman, once again, world renowned researcher in the area of marriage, he even said the number one thing to keep a marriage alive and to keep a strong marriage is to stay curious about your spouse. That's what these dates are for. I'm going to give you some great ideas, some great frameworks, places, things that you can do together. But really the underlying message is that in these times doing these things, how can you stay curious about each other and get to know each"

ORIGINAL POST

I'm curious to see what people say for this topic, I'm too cliche its either dinner, drinks, dessert or movies. I'm trying to think outside the box for potential partners.

What would be an awesome idea that stood out to you?

Cook together

Pack a Picnic and go somewhere special

Animal shelter or zoo to meet cute animals

Plan a scavenger hunt for her

Choose a movie together and cuddle up to watch it

Invent cocktails together

Have a meal with miracle berry pills. Have half the meal before, take the pills, half the meal after

Tour her work or school and learn about what she does all day

Introduce her to your friends and vice versa

Game night, video games or board games together

Do an art project together and laugh at how bad or good your art is

Writing, sit down together, find a random writing prompt, and see what kind of stories or poems you can write in like 15 minutes or any other amount of time

Find an event happening in your community and go either to participate or to crash it and mess with the people there

Go to a new place both of you have never been to and have a short road trip. Compile playlists of music you want to share for the ride.

Find a set of stereo speakers and point them at each other. Lay down between the speakers and share music while enveloped in the sound.

Look up drinking games and play them either with or without drinking, whatever you’re comfy with. They always spark conversation.

Create a meal together based on a word that means something to you. Like SRIRACHA for example. Find items at a grocery store that start with the letters of the word and see if you can make a balanced meal together. Then eat all the food and out sriracha on all of it or something.

Go to a show, music or theatre or art. Pick a favorite piece or moment and talk about why you liked it best.

Write a song together. Play music for or with each other.

Have a talent show, find skills you have that you wanna show off to each other and spend an evening learning about each other.

Pick a documentary about something you’re both interested in and as you watch it, write quiz questions for each other, then quiz each other at the end.

I went to the zoo/botanical garden with a nice girl yesterday. It was very crowded and hot, and it wasn’t conducive to really getting to know each other because the crowd and setting made it hard to really talk or anything. It was pretty fun, and I’m not sure if she was done and done because of the crowds and heat or the date itself, but when I left I wasn’t so sure it went well. So, if you decide to go to a zoo or garden, try to plan better than I did.

Go out into the open hills at night with some drinks, lie down and stare up at the stars.

Be a tourist in your own town, go to the museums or art galleries you never seem to get around to visiting.

Take a 'day' class - here in DC there are a lot groups that offer a half-day session to introduce newbies to their hobby. For example: Bird watching, nature photography, pottery, painting. Once when I lived in Seattle me and my SO went to an evening intro to glass blowing - they had wine and cheese and I (kinda) made a little pumpkin. It was a blast.

There’s a cooking school in our city that offers themed one-shot classes. It’s partner-based and they provide wine (and non-alcoholic drink) pairings for each course. My wife and I love the collaborative nature of cooking together and this gives us a chance to go out and learn something new!

The best date nights are ones where there is food, conversation and eye contact. There are tons of things you can do to stay connected romantically. I would avoid movie theaters unless it's something you are both dying to see, since you can't connect in a dark room of a cinema.

My only other advice would be, don't be afraid to dress up because this is a date after all. Some people assume after being married that those little things don't matter, and they really do. Women notice! Some nice cologne, or even adding a simple nice watch or fresh haircut makes a huge difference. It's like you are dating again.

Agreed that food and good conversations are some of the best dates, regardless of what else you might be doing. We have a couple pubs/coffee shops around here that allow you to drink, eat, and play board games - a fun concept for both dates and group dates. You could probably also bring your own with you, provided you order stuff of course. Scrabble is a fun and thoughtful one that we enjoy playing and also invites conversation - board games, apps, and wine seems to be a winning combo.

I found just grabbing drinks was the optimal date. It's a public place, gets conversation flowing, isn't too expensive, and it's easy to cut short but can go as long as you like.

However, here are a few other non-drinking ideas.

  • Arcade
  • Ice skating / roller blading disco
  • Board games at a coffee shop
  • Trampoline park
  • Escape room
  • Cheer for local K-12 sports game
  • Volunteer at an animal shelter together (just walk dogs for an hour or two)

truly depends on the person you are going on a date with. forst date should be simple, get to know you. i prefer brunch as it can lead intp a longer date OR be finished after meal. second date I typically throw a little adventure in the mox to make sure she can do more than eat with a fork. third or sometimes fourth date i cook to bring intimacy up a notch. not for sex (although typically does) but its more one on one.

so second or third date ideas that are fun. indorr rock climbing, a class (cooking, art, etc), museum/aquarium /zoo, ifly indoor skydiving, a local play, park and/or hike, escape room, etc

first date is get to know you, are we compatible? if yes than second date (and a few after that depending on speed you are takibg things - everyone is different) should be breezy but gove the chance for one on one time which is alot easier with some small activity to focus on.

Don't try to reinvent the wheel.

Early on, dinner, drinks, coffee are great places to start for a date. Always have 2-3 options for something to continue the date after that. Mini-golf, bowling, pool, darts, arcade, karaoke, walk in the park, ice cream, drinks, etc, etc. All the standard cliche stuff is great if you plan accordingly. Have a plan with options. Plan according to your date's specific proclivities - favorite food/drinks, types of activities, things to avoid.

When things get more serious, do more serious things. Amusement parks, beach days, hiking, etc. Stuff that is much more of a time commitment. Again, based on what your date is into.

Especially early, avoid very loud or very quiet places. Concerts and movies are terrible dates early on. You're trying to get to know a person and no way you can talk to them during those things. The only exception would be something really special that you're both super into - shared favorite band is in town wouldn't be a terrible 4th+ date. Avoid that stuff for the first couple or few dates though.

Third date picnic. I asked her to meet me at the park for a free concert and suggested we each surprise each other with some picnic finger food.

I brought cheese and crackers. Well, different interested breads and crackers, and some unusual cheeses. I also had cherry tomatoes and raspberries. For a drink, I made an herbal tea, with my mix of different teas, sweetened with a dash of apple cider. She brought pita bread, humus, mixed veggies and fresh strawberries.

First date success:

I noticed she mentioned wanting to learn salsa dancing in her profile. I found a dance series and asked her if she would like to sign up together. 'We could take the beginner's course, and know we each had a partner. There would be no commitment beyond the class, unless we hit it off.'. By the third dance class, we were going out to eat after class and then much more.

My Date ideas for those who are struggling

Posted by itiswhatitis5234 · in r/dating_advice · 4 years ago

What's up, i've been seeing a few posts around where people are struggling with date ideas during the pandemic so i've got a small list of idea's that i've thought might be fun and fairly cheap!

• Build the ultimate bed fort • Photography date • Active beach day • Go to old ruins and abandoned places • Visit lesser known parts of the UK (or wherever you live) • Classic hot tub and cabin getaway • City hide and seek/treasure hunt • Food tour • Comedy club night • Art events/classes • Cooking classes

Thanks for reading! I hope i can inspire one of you guys to have a fun day weather it's a first date or your 100th!

P.s. The photography date idea was a hit when i did it, we went to the zoo and took a bunch of cool pics!!

Date ideas to keep dating not boring.

Posted by AmazingHappiness · in r/dateideas · 3 years ago

Hi !:) it’s my first post on reddit. I met a guy about 3 months ago, we been hanging out and I am running out of ideas. We been hanging out at each other’s places and watching movies and cuddle… but I feel like it is getting boring/not special and comfortable (in a negative sense) as we do it all the time.

Any suggestions that can keep the dating experience fresh/fun/interesting so we both don’t get bored. Budget ideas would be appreciated

Go to the library, and each of you has a mission: find a copy of your favorite book, and convince the other y it is the best book! Bonus if you make a commitment to read each other’s favorites and/or spend time reading together!

Pick out a podcast neither of you has delved into before, get a cheap pair of bluetooth headphones (each take one) and go for a walk while listening! Take turns picking podcasts if you end up no liking one. NO LISTENING TO THE PODCAST WITHOUT YOUR PARTNER!

Go to a comic book shop (doesn’t matter if you have/haven’t been before) and browse. Usually there’s more than just comics hanging around, ANY of which could be conversation starters.

There’s much more, but this should get you started.

-River walk: go over pedestrian bridge at night into Iowa then hit Ted and Wally’s in old market.

-downtown papillion hit up sauced then walk up to get great ice cream at Graleys

You drive down the road hang a left and walk around Halleck park and the fish pond they have with fountains ⛲️ it’s pleasant evening.

-Fontenelle Forrest has night tree adventure course with all pretty lights https://treerush.com/?utm_source=gmb-listing&utm_medium=organic

-on weekend, drive a bit go to Nebraska city. They have amazing bloody Mary’s at the little Arbor Day Farm and an outside walk trail and leads up to the Lied Lodge which is really cool to walk around. Can tour Morton Mansion https://g.co/kgs/hah1gcx

-fun things I’ve been doing is going to random things I’ve never tried since I’ve lived here forever. Like the Czech museum that used to be on dodge now in Brentwood Square. Going to new shops. If you like your company the destination is made fun and you create memories. If you’re just starting to date and have to more work toward conversation this doesn’t work as well and they’ll prob think it’s dumb lol.

Figure out her favorite book or book series, see if any of them have anything significant in it, like recipes they talk about or places they mention in the book… and then do a little book inspired date. Either cook the food or go to a restaurant that has similar vibes to it. If it happens in a certain city and it’s within the budget, do a city trip to there.

If your city has a national libary or cool looking book archive, take her there.

Other non book related tips:

Take a beginners dance class together. Buy a few canvas, brushes and paints and hold a wine and bob ross eve. Or paint each other.

Buy a new board game that you can play with the 2 of you, or invite a couple friend for a double date.

Dont go to the cinema. If its the first date, try to find a public space so that she feels secure. Sadly not everybody is nice nowadays. Something like miniature golf, coffee dates or even simply going for a walk if she is the type for that. My current date likes museums so we will visit one on sunday. Try to find out what she likes and show interest in that area. Girls usually like that.

My go-to first date was always a museum. Public but not super busy or loud, museum exhibits give you something to talk about, and if the date doesn't go well, at least you're doing something fun.

Nothing is more uncomfortable and anxiety inducing to me than sitting across from someone at a coffee shop with nothing to do but talk.

First date- coffee/tea or drinks at a bar. It's in public, doesn't take a lot of time (can be stretched longer if needed) relatively cheap.

*Actually good* at home date ideas?

Posted by [deleted] · in r/dateideas · 3 years ago

I’m looking for suggestions for at home date ideas that are, for lack of better words, actually good. I mean that in the best way but everywhere I look here there’s very few really good solid suggestions. Like dude come on I spend so much time with my GF, I don’t want to just drive somewhere aimlessly and just talk, we talk all the time!!! I see so many people suggesting just doing basically anything mindlessly and ‘just chatting’, or suggesting things without detailing what to do like video games or board game nights, it’s laughable and only half a suggestion. And I’m not looking for anything crazy right, I just mean something cool easy and fun to do during at home dates! We played It Takes 2 and wow it was amazing to just decide in the afternoon just get some wine and play that/watch some shows and make some dinner. We’ve done fun paint nights. Even fun iPhone game nights too! I just want some genuinely fun ideas that aren’t some ‘enjoy each other’s company’ BS lol. It’s cool to suggest Xbox/PS games. Which ones?! It’s cool to suggest board games. Which ones?! It’s cool to suggest movies/tv shows… you get it I’m sure! Please if you have some good ideas share!

I (20m) just recently had a date at my home with a guy (26m) and I surpised him with everything. I went to target and got blankets, pillows, candles, etc and set up a nice environment to hang out. I also got various cheeses and meat along with wine and made him a charcuterie board. Going along with the zen vibe I made a playlist of common music we liked, had some mood lighting, and it was the BEST date of my life. But it didnt end there, the reason it was the best was because we played the game: “We’re Not Really Strangers” which if you havent heard of it, its a game to unravel and understand each other on a deeper note (although the game has some silly questions / instructions). But overall it was a very personable and honest date!

This one is a bit involved, but did the trick for me. Have you ever seen that cooking show chopped with the mystery boxes of ingredients? Basically I went for a walk in China town and bought three food items that I had no clue what they were. I also picked up chef’s hats and made paper boxes with question marks on them.

Waited until my partner left the house and set up the ingredients under the paper boxes. Got all kitted up with an apron and chef’s hat. When he opened the door I yelled THIS IS CHOPPED and explain that for our date we’d use Google lens to figure out what the ingredients under the mystery boxes were and spend the afternoon trying to make dinner out of the ingredients using online recipes :)

  • Coffee walks in places you haven’t walked before
  • Bring a soccer ball to the park
  • Drive some place nearby you haven’t been to, and look for a restaurant you haven’t tried
  • Roller blade date on a public trail
  • Find a good/fancy recipe online, go get the ingredients together and try it out. Put on some music while you do it
  • Get a new board game and invite over a friend to try it out
  • Go pick some strawberries, cherries or apples at a You-Pick farm
  • Go to a zoo
  • Hot air baloon ride, they’re cheaper and more prevalent than most people realize
  • Pottery class, or go paint some pottery
  • Walk around the mall
  • Find a place nearby with live music, doesn’t matter what genre
  • Walk around an off-leash dog park (SO much fun)
  • Go to a pet store. Don’t need to get anything, it’s just fun to look sometimes.
  • Try the gym together
  • Look for the nearest botanical gardens or arboretum and go for a stroll
  • Art museums usually give students a discount
  • Look up a film festival and see something weird
  • Go to craft store, get some water colors and some wine. Paint while you watch a movie
  • Arts and crafts night, and hang that shit up
  • Hookah lounges and coffee shops around universities sometimes have open mic night night or poetry slams.
  • Find the weird section of a library, or go to the audio section and pick out CDs that have cool covers. Most libraries order the CDs for free on request and keep them around. Listen to them together and pick out the best and worst.
  • Find a community garden and start a plot. Go take care of it together.
  • You can probably always find other people to catch frisbees with you two at the park near a university

The best we had were :

  • Take a book each and go read together at a nice tea place. We discovered some beautiful tea and chocolat, enjoyed our books and could talk about what we were reading when we wanted

  • a nice walk with our dog while having a passionate conversation. That was our very first date and we still do that a lot, a nice walk can really push us into crazy conversations and that's always amazing to create and then take care of the bond we have

  • walk around town and discover a new places to eat or have a drink, no plans, just go where the moment takes you

  • a museum or street art (we had a great street art expo through our entire city, it was a great walk and lots of fun to discover the art presentations together, especially the interactive ones)

I adored doing a tour of the lighthouse! It was about $20 per person and you can do three different kinds, haunted tour, day in the life of a lighthouse keeper, and I can’t remember the last one sorry! But it was so fun to learn and then walk up the lighthouse at the end:)

It’s not in st. Augustine but a surprise hike in Ravine Gardens is a must have experience. The wild azaleas are prob less than a week away from being in full bloom. It’s honestly gorgeous and a worthwhile experience if you’re into the outdoors

Casino night? Bowling night? Some neighbourhood pubs have weekly Trivia nights? The Vancouver Art gallery is free I think the first Friday evening of each month? Movies? Various touristy attractions? Comedy nights? Local community theatre? Hiking, biking, kayaking? Winery tours, brew pubs? Take a cooking class together? Pot luck dinner with friends/neighbours? seek out hotel deals and book a room? Sporting events? Any weekly/monthly events at local libraries? Take a yoga class together? Or a martial arts class? My wife and I get pedicures every 6 weeks...

Explore different restaurants, seek out happy hour deals...

Whale watching tour, dinner cruise, fishing weekend? Camping?

There are few indoor gokarting tracks, like Speedsters; Paint ball? Laser tag? Escape rooms? Richmond Night market (seasonal)?

Golfing, miniature golf? Playland (seasonal)?

Horse races: Winter in Cloverdale, Summer at Hastings Park?

We have some regulars that we enjoy:

Jokes Please! has comedy shows Fridays and Saturdays that are great and tickets are under 20 bucks. Last week we caught Brent Butt and my wife is still talking about it.

We bring wine on a walk. Seawall, out to dinner, to an event but the WALK is the date! We’re meant to enjoy the walk the most. And these have often been the most memorable dates.

We have done a few volunteer date nights. Like, at a charity. This needs more experimenting. We liked it but haven’t found the right organization. It was fun, bonding and brought us closer. It has potential to be great date nights but we’ll see.

We signed up for a dance class (there are many, Robson Square and Kits have free ones in the summer). Super affordable, my wife loved it. I felt a little shy but was glad she loved it. The swing dancing in Kits was my favourite, can’t remember when it was.

We also try and do a rental date. This is where we rent something we don’t do often. Kayaks, electric bikes, we once rented a convertible car and drove to Squamish with the top down (fun one, I liked the driving more than she liked riding).

Good luck!

Pack an up an old blanket, a couple sandwiches, a few snacks, and a couple bottles of pop or water, and head out to a park or the nearest pretty nature spot.

Date Ideas with Activities

Posted by Comfortable-Lemon-12 · in r/Raipur · 7 months ago

My boyfriend and I love going on dates where we actually do something instead of just sitting at a cafe. Our go-to spots are arcades and gaming zones, but we want to switch things up a bit.

Does anyone have suggestions for fun date activities that aren’t just gaming? We’re open to anything interactive—maybe something artistic or just different from our usual. Let me know your best ideas!

Where to go for a cute date?

Posted by teenagerwrites12 · in r/gurgaon · 6 months ago

I'm planning a special day out with my boyfriend, and I want to try something unique. We've already done the usual dinner dates, movies, and outings. I came across a reel featuring a couple's artistic date, where they painted and had a blast together. I'm looking for more ideas like this. Can you suggest some fun and creative activities that you did with your SO, or a stay in date as well.

Is you're already bored with all the bougie vibe Gurgaon has to offer. A couple of things you can explore (not ranked)

  1. Go Kart - multiple race course around here. Google for options. Been to F9 Go Karting near Iffco chowk - Costs ~800-1000 for some 15/30 mins. Has a cafe to sit back and chill after your drive.

  2. Ice Skating - Ambience mall - little cliche - you'll enjoy more if one of you knows how to skate.

  3. 32nd avenue - Has pottery & cafe hopping options

  4. Golf - A couple of options around gurgaon - Google - We Visit Zen Golf mostly so would recommend it. Costs ~15k per person for a ~2 hrs session. You get coaches and everything and nobody judges you if you're new at this. Also has a cafe, Worth visiting!

  5. Weekend staycation at Karma lake islands - maybe plan a brunch at "under the neem"

  6. Explore misfits app - it has many options and I think has something for everyone. I preferer to go on short treks with them around gurgaon - if you both are early risers. These are specially curated and are organised mostly every Sunday morning.

Cheers!

  2. Cooking Class: Take a cooking class together to learn something new while enjoying each other's company. It’s fun and you get to eat what you make!

  3. Hiking Adventure: Explore nature by going on a hike. Choose a scenic trail and enjoy the beauty of the outdoors together.

  4. Visit a Museum or Art Gallery: Spend the day exploring art or history. Many museums offer special exhibits or events that can make the experience even more engaging.

  5. Game Night: Stay in and have a game night with board games or video games. Add some snacks and drinks for a cozy atmosphere.

  6. Attend a Live Event: Check out local concerts, theater performances, or sports games. Sharing an experience like this can create lasting memories.

  8. Volunteer Together: Spend a day giving back to the community. It can be a rewarding experience and strengthen your bond.

Recommendation: Choose a date idea that aligns with both of your interests. This will ensure that you both enjoy the experience and create a meaningful connection. If you're unsure, consider asking your date what they enjoy doing or if there's something they've always wanted to try.
