Good Ideas for a First Date
A Day at the Theme Park
You might think this is childish, but what could be more fun than having a blast riding roller coasters. Snuggling up in the “Ferris” wheel can be a way to close without being creepy.
Impress your date with your shooting skills and maybe win her them oversized stuffed animals. Some women may find this a bit unconventional, but a theme park date brings out the best of your personality.
You can quickly determine if your date is a fun-loving highly-spirited gal. The local theme park or fairgrounds can be an excellent place for your first date.

Coffee Shop
A lovely trendy coffee shop is a great first date if you’re starting to get to know the person. It’s intimate and lets you both talk in a casual, public environment. Allowing you to get to know each other without any pressure.
Also allows the date to follow its own time. Either chatting away for hours or leaving early if things don’t work out.
You two can talk for however long you feel. Find a coffee shop with something unique and exciting to help as an ice-breaker.
A Picnic by the Lake
Can you say “romantic”? Girls will dig this type of date.
Of course, more planning will be required for this. You have to purchase the food yourself. Cheese, wine, bread, and fruit are typical yet effective picnic-date food.
They can be found in your local supermarket and cut your budget in half. Disadvantages would include uncooperative weather. Scout the place first and find a firm flat ground. You can also prepare by checking the weather reports for the perfect day.
Inform your date. You might get a kick out of surprising her, but she won’t be too happy.
If she’s sitting on a picnic blanket in a new designer dress.
Don’t Be Afraid To Start Up a Meaningful Conversation
If you’ve met on a dating app. then chances are that the pair of you are looking for something real. Expect questions about your career or essential things in your life. Your plans for the future are a necessary part of getting to know someone better.
Let the chatting flow naturally, and remember to listen. Trying to hard think of the next topic makes you seem rude or easily distracted. You don’t want to seem un-interested in what they have to say.
So instead, keep the talking/listening ratio to a symmetrical 50/50 split.
A Tasteful Film or Play
The latest blockbusters may be very appealing. You might even consider a chick flick. Enjoying a movie together can really show your match in personality.
So, why not take her to the local theatre for a movie marathon or a light love comedy?Afterward, you can take her out for a quick drink or a light dinner and discuss what you saw.
It can open up a lot about each other or give delightful insights into each other’s personalities. Your taste might even impress your date and see you in a more profound light on your first date.
Act Confident
Act confident and self-assured, and display positive and encouraging body language.
Make eye contact, smile, and lean in when talking. If there’s an attraction and you want to meet up again, don’t be shy and play hard to get.
Playing pretend uninterested is genuinely tiresome, so go ahead and ask for a second date.
Something bold but controlled, like “I had a nice time with you tonight, or I’d like to see you again,” is entirely appropriate. If you get rejected, take it like a champ and move on. No need to dwell; it just wasn’t meant to be.
Don’t Bring Flowers
Don’t bring flowers.
It’s simple as that. With that said, its considered old fashioned, but some people do like it. To me I don’t like carrying flowers for your date, it won’t do you any favors. On the contrary, it can show her that you are too focused on impressing her.
Then bam potentially put her in the ‘nice guy’ class. So no flowers; it’s a terrific gesture. Look for some other ideas to gift her on the first date.
An Exotic Dinner
Staple French cuisine or gourmet food can be impressive on a first date. It can also be very predictable and expensive. Instead, why not try exotic Mediterranean fare or Indian cuisine?
How about a taste of Turkey or hot Thai food? Food can be an adventure for both of you. However, ask your date first because she might be allergic to some dishes.
Also it shows that you are thoughtful of others. huge bonus points
Be Sure To Listen To Your Date
Like the coffee date, the conversation will flow better if you pay attention to what she’s saying.
Don’t distract yourself wondering if you will go home with her after the date. Enjoy the moment, make sure your having fun also.
If you see her again, then you see her again, if you don’t; you don’t. Put as much focus as you can on the date itself and make sure you listen to what she says. You can ask her to tell you more.
Listening and ensuring the conversation stays fresh is easy when your focused on getting to know someone.
