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.

• 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 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.

Avoid first date ideas that prevent conversation or prematurely encourage

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

• 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)
