10.Hit up the farmer’s market
A farmer’s market can be a great idea for a first date for many reasons.
“It’s a morning date, so it doesn’t end up feeling very high stakes,” says Eric Resnick, an online dating coach and professional dating profile writer at ProfileHelper.com.
“You are surrounded by great food, you can see what sorts of things the other person is into, and you can do some great people watching together.”
11.Attend a reading
If you like literature and reading, and you’re looking for a great first date idea, why not hit up a reading at your local bookstore?
“Share with your date why the topic is important to you or what you like about the author’s style of writing,” Humphreys says.
“After the reading, it’s always fun to ask your date to take you to their favorite section in a bookstore and to share with you about their favorite book topics and authors. This kind of date helps you to see what interests and inspires each other.”
12.Go on a hike
A hiking first date is a nice way to spend the day in nature, in the presence of good company.
“Hiking is always a great way to get to know someone,” says Bronstein.
“Being on a hike will relax your nervous system. Also, hikes can be challenging, and when you challenge yourself along with someone you’re getting to know, it creates a feeling of connection.”
