First Dates Ideas

So now that you asked your person out you might need some dating ideas...so I dug up some great and fun ideas you and your partner can do. Hope you all can pick a few to try out.

Picnic's: You can take anywhere because the food is all packed up all nice and gives you that time to talk and get to know one another.

Want to try something new? Try a cooking class together. It is tons of fun and you work together to create something yummy.

Wine Tasting: Wanna loosen up a little? Wine tasting is great. You can try new flavors and chat about what your thoughts are about the wines you are tasting.

3 Course Dinner...This one can be tricky, but fun. Try going to different restaurants for different courses can be exciting don't overthink it or you will stress yourself out. Relax and have fun with it.

Fair: If the fair or carnival are in town go hit one of those up, but be prepared to spend money there. lol. It is a great way to spend the day with your partner and their children if they have any.

Outdoor Movies: Movies in the park in the summer are cheap and relaxing to enjoy. Just make sure to pack a blanket or chairs and some snacks.

Escape rooms: Would your partner be any good at these? How do they act when trying to escape? Do they freak out, get mad, scared...or is it all just fun? I personally haven't tried this one yet.

Sunsets: Go somewhere or just sit outside and watch the sun fall as the stars come up to light the night sky. This date is free you can't go wrong with free...

Zoo: Walk around the zoo together and enjoy talking about why you like or dislike each animal. You'll learn a lot real fast.

Karaoke: Find a place that has karaoke and pick out a song for each of you and then pick one for each other. See who has more fun with the song.

Bowling: Fun activity and you get to wear funny looking shoes and chat and enjoy one another

Dancing: Clubs can be fun as long as everything stays sain lol. You can turn music on and dance to it in a park, a rainy day...or or or you could try a dance class. Most do dance classes when they are getting things ready for the wedding.

Truth or Dare: Is it really just a kid game? Nope! Not at all. Adults can have lots of fun with truth and dare. It is a great way to get to know one another too cause you'll get to ask questions. Can you live on the edge and do the dares? Well that is something you'll have to figure out on your own.

Museums: Any of them are nice to go to. I love going to the Art Museum and the Oregon Museum of Science Industry are my favorites to go to.
