7.Go on a park picnic
sometimes simple is better. You can’t go wrong with a picnic somewhere in nature. It is also a budget-friendly date option that has some major romantic potential.
“A sunny day in a pretty park can be a whimsical setting for a first date, and is also easily personalized to reflect your personality,” explains dating and relationship coach Sami Wunder.
“Sipping gin and tonic out of tiny cans or sharing a bottle of something sparkly will give a sense of occasion as you nibble on your choice of delicious snacks and chat away on the grass.”
8.Or share a meal under the stars
Something even more romantic than a picnic is a picnic under the stars. Instead of daytime, go out after dark, and enjoy an honest conversation under the stars. Want to amp up the romance factor of that picnic? Instead of doing it in the daytime, head out after dark.
“Choose a place away from city lights and other distractions where you can enjoy the view of the stars,” suggests Robin Suthers, dating coach and editor at the women’s site Galtelligence.
“Be ready with some questions to encourage conversation and get to know each other. The quiet and romantic environment will be perfect for setting the mood for a nice talk and a memorable first date.”
9.Take a cooking class
“Regardless of your culinary skill levels or comfort in a kitchen, taking a cooking class together can be fun and insightful,” says Humphreys.
“This kind of date can help you see what kind of teammate style the other person has. Are they take-charge? Bossy? Cooperative? Sharing? It also helps you to learn about your date’s food preferences and the degree of healthy eating preference—or not.”
