13.Go to a concert

If you and your date share a favorite band, going to a concert is a great idea.

“Sharing music you love with a potential mate can be an intimate experience. So why not buy tickets for two and enjoy the music that makes you reminisce about the earlier days of your life?” says Celia Schweyer of DatingScout.com.

“Give each other a chance to tell the most memorable moment of your younger years and see if you will connect.”

 

14.Go on a ferry ride or a road trip

“Driving down the countryside or going on a ferry ride offers a change of scenery,” says Schweyer.

“Taking your date to the country is both romantic, and at the same time, a stress reliever from your busy lives as adults.

Exploring the rural areas even for a day can also provide you the opportunity to know each other more without exhausting yourselves from treks or hikes.”

 

15.Visit an amusement park

In the memory of the good old days, visiting an amusement park for a date can be very fun and unusual because it’s something you don’t get to do every day.

“The youthful and adventurous atmosphere of amusement parks is contagious. Just a few minutes in, and you and your date are already giddy and excited to walk around the grounds or try the newest attractions,” Schweyer says.

“The adrenaline pumping in your veins helps you de-stress and spend a genuinely fun time together.”
