First Date Ideas





We've got some great first date ideas for you here.

It's a good idea to keep first dates relatively non-committal. Unless, of course, you know you are already completely infatuated with the person.

Need more ideas? Check out our full list of creative date ideas.



Also, don't forget to Submit your own first date ideas and stories below!


#1
Get Coffee

Coffee Date

"Wanna get some coffee sometime?" This is the classic first date. But just because it's been done before don't discount it's value as a good first date.

A coffee date is low pressure, non-committal (you want to make sure you actually like this person, right?), and cheap. A pleasant coffee shop is, also, the perfect atmosphere to do that activity that is oh so important on a first date, talk.


#2
Get a Drink

This is also sort of a cliche, but going out for a casual drink is one of the best first date ideas. Why? Because you're going to want a drink!

First dates are nerve racking. Alcohol is nerve calming... You and your date could be perfect for each other, but if you're both too stressed out to be yourself, you won't have a very good time.

So, find a bar where the music won't be blaring, order something with a kick, and sit back and enjoy yourself.


#3
Book Store

Book Date

Ok, I'm not saying you should build an entire first date out of a trip to a bookstore, but, if, say, you're walking to dinner and you pass a book store, consider stopping in for a moment.

You can learn a lot about someone by the way they act in a book store. Which section do they want to peruse? How much interest does your date have in reading? Is there a book your date has been dying to read?

A person's interest and preference in literature can tell volumes about their personality. So, by visiting a book store you'll be able to quickly and easily judge the compatibility of you and your date.


#4
The ZOO

If you live near one, going to the zoo can be a really fun first date idea. I know it sounds like maybe a good date idea for a six year old, but a youthfully inquisitive personality is attractive.

You'll get to walk around, providing plenty of good flirting time, and don't forget the bonus of all bonuses: Monkey sex!



#5
Bowling

Don't worry, nobody is good at bowling. There are like ten people on earth that are good at bowling, and you'll see them on ESPN once a year.

You and your date will bond considerably over your shared lack of talent. Also, most bowling alleys serve beer, and as I've said, you're gonna want a beer.


#6
Aquarium

Aquarium Date

Aquariums are so sweet. You get to look at the weirdest of creatures. I can remember every time I've visited an aquarium, going back to when i was a young lad.

That's exactly why it's such a good first date idea. What do you think your date will remember more, dinner and a movie, or jellyfish and a hammer-head shark?


#7
Bar Games

Billiards, darts, pac-man... Similar to bowling, nobody is actually any good at these games. And nothing breaks the ice better than breaking poorly in a game of 8-ball.

Just make sure you pick a bar that is date conducive. You don't want to get your ass kicked when your dart lands in Bubba's drink.
