Fun First Date Ideas

First Date ideas are always hard to come up and be creative at the same time. It is hard because you don’t know your date very well and not sure what he/she would like.

You want to make a good first impression, but you don’t want to do the old boring standby of dinner and a movie. This will not make a good first impression. Your date will just get lost with all the others.

A nice first date for the summer time is a trip to the zoo. This gives you a chance to talk and get to know one another but yet have enough to draw attention away when you aren’t sure what to say next.

Another good first date idea is to bake brownies or cookies together and then go deliver them, one or two cookies at a time at each of your close friends homes.

Maybe rent a season of your favorite TV show and watch it with a big bowl of popcorn and coke.

Another good first date idea is to play your favorite board game. This will give you some great interaction and allow you to be yourself. It helps to break down any barriers that may be there if you are trying to carry on a conversation.

What you are going for in a first date is to make a situation where you can both be comfortable, not have any situations where you will have the uncomfortable silence. You also want to be able to have a fun, easy conversation so you can get to know one another.

Hopefully, these first date ideas will help you on that next first date and that there will be many more after that.

    How about a fun date that doesn’t require food? With my ex, all i did was eat, and luckily I got those 30 pounds off!

    These are crappy first date ideas. Watch a full season of a tv show?? What a fun date that is, you both staring at a tv for 12 hours!!

    First dates should be about getting to know each other. That means attention to each other, not staring at a tv or a movie screen.

    I agree that watching a TV show is stupid but I think playing board games is great for a first date especially if you are friends with your date. That will keep if from seeming too formal but still allows you to get to know one another.

    @Michaela- you can go to an amusement park, you can go to the park (sounds stupid but its fun), you can go get ice cream and then go see a movie….. etc. there are many things that you can do for a first date but it may not be what you had planned so talk it over with your date first. hope i helped =]
