A fun way to start dating someone is to learn a new hobby that fosters communication and creates respect. Below are some great ideas to try:

  • Take a dance lesson: swing, salsa, ballroom, etc.
  • Take a tennis or golf lesson.
  • Take an indoor or outdoor rock-climbing lesson.
  • Take a photography class.
  • Take a cooking class.
  • Take an art class: painting, sketching, pottery, etc.

A great first date consists of an activity that stimulates conversation.

These ideas should help you keep the discussion flowing:

  • Visit an art gallery.
  • Visit a botanical garden.
  • Visit an amusement park.
  • Visit the zoo (a proven winner).
  • Visit a state park or nature center.
  • Visit a history, art, or science museum.
  • Visit an aquarium.
  • Visit a church service or Bible study and go for coffee afterwards.
  • Volunteer to help build a Habitat for Humanity house.
  • Play board games together.
  • Play frisbee golf.
  • Play tennis.
  • Play miniature golf.
  • Shop for and prepare a meal together.
  • Dine at a restaurant with unusual cuisine (tapas, Moroccan, sushi, etc.)
  • Take an educational factory tour.
  • Go roller-blading or ice skating.
  • Go mountain biking.
  • Go bowling.
  • Go horseback riding.
  • Go whitewater rafting with a group.
  • Go to a coffee shop or a dessert café.
  • Go inline skating or bicycling at a local park.
  • Go to a professional sporting event (baseball, football, etc.).

7 Lame First Date Activities

Avoid first date ideas that prevent conversation or prematurely encourage

physical activity. Below are examples of some bad first date ideas:

  • Concerts (too loud to talk)
  • Movies (no chance to talk)
  • The theater (too quiet to talk)
  • Comedy clubs (trashy language)
  • Sports bars or loud restaurants (too distracting to talk)
  • Renting a movie (risk of getting physical prematurely)
  • A picnic in a secluded area (risk of physical activity)
