| First Date Ideas For Fantastic Fun
|
|
| |
|
| Did you finally score that long-awaited first date with that special someone? Your first date will is the first romantic impression you make, so be creative and fun to leave a lasting impression on that special someone. No matter what your budget or circumstances, you can plan an impressive, exciting first date that will make your partner want to go out on a second date. Let's start by discussing first dates that just don't make the grade.

| First Date Ideas to Avoid
|
|
| |
|
| There are a few first dates that really aren't a good idea, despite their growing popularity. For example, a ride to 7-11 is just a pit stop, not a first date. Granted you can now buy wine and sandwiches at convenience stores, but that still does not make this a date destination.
|
|
| |
|
| Fast food restaurants are another no-no. While these affordable options are ideal once you get to know that special someone, they don't work for a first date.
|
|
| |
|
| Parties with your friends is great once you have a rapport established with that special someone, but they they should be avoided in the beginning. After all, partying friends can be unpredictable and you don't want that special someone to get the wrong impression. Also, parties don't give you that quiet time together to get to know one another.
|
|
| |
|
| Finally, while adventure is an awesome element to include on a first date, don't venture all the way out there on that thought. How do you know that special someone will appreciate bungee jumping or skydiving? You may wind up terrorizing them and sending them home. Get to know that special someone before you plan outrageous adventures that could actually drive your romantic interest away.

| Budget First Date Ideas
|
|
| |
|
| Okay, so you're not Trump but you want to impress that lovely lady anyway. Now that we've eliminated 7-11 and fast food restaurants, what is a guy (or girl) to do?
|
|
| |
|
| If you have a dog, a long walk around the park is a great way to show your compassionate side and take a cozy stroll with that someone special. If you don't, plan an afternoon picnic and show off how well you make sandwiches and pack wine. Less expensive than dinner out, a picnic at the park or beach is a memorable, pleasant first date idea. If you have a few bucks, you can take her for ice cream or coffee after lunch so you look thoughtful and generous.
|
|
| |
|
| Another budget first date idea is to make dinner at home and rent a great movie. If you are a terrible cook, buy prepared foods from the deli to warm up or ask mom to cook for you so you can heat it up later. Even if you don't have a home theater, you can dim the lights and make popcorn to deliver an authentic movie experience
|
|
| |
|
| If your special someone appreciates cultural experiences, there are always free museums, art galleries and library shows to appreciate. Check your local paper for ideas and tickets – though many of these places are free, some of them require tickets on a first come, first served basis. After spending a day of cultural pursuits, it is alright to end the date with a stop at a fast food restaurant for an inexpensive, quick bite to eat.

|
| Adventurous First Date Ideas
|
|
| |
|
| You don't have to go sky diving or bungee jumping to offer adventure on your first date, unless you are sure your partner will appreciate these activities. You can rent a canoe or kayak and take your special someone on a nature tour of the lake, river or bay where you live. Bring along a picnic lunch so you can stop in a secluded spot and share some goodies together on the water.
|
|
| |
|
| Remember your youth and take your romantic interest bowling, roller skating or ice skating. Even if you aren't as good as you used to be, you are sure to have a lot of laughs together.
|
|
| |
|
| Hiking is another adventurous first date idea that gives you a chance to talk and explore the world together. Plan a day on the trails where you can get to know each other better in a natural, unaffected environment.
|

|
| Romantic First Date Ideas
|
|
| |
|
| If budget isn't your first concern, there are many romantic first dates you can plan to impress that special someone. Consider a dinner cruise on the bay where you can dance under the stars. Take that special someone to a renowned restaurant to enjoy fine dining and then go to a play afterwards. Spend the day at an amusement park and enjoy the rides like kids, then win her an oversized stuffed animal at one of the games. Use your imagination and let it take both of you away to a romantic, memorable destination.

| First Dates to Seal the Deal
|
|
| |
|
| Get to know that special someone before you ask for a first date so you become familiar with their preferences. Although you should like the activities you plan for your first date, keep your romantic interest in mind when you choose what to do. Select activities that will impress that special someone and you are sure to have a successful first date. For example, if your date loves to dance, take her to a fancy nightclub. If your date is an avid fisherman, take him out on a fishing charter boat for the day.
|
|
| |
|
| When you are thoughtful about the likes and dislikes of that special someone, you are sure to plan a first date to seal the deal.
|
|
| |
|
| The most important thing to remember during your first date, no matter where you go, is to relax and have fun and your partner is sure to join you.
