So you’ve managed to get that first date with that special someone, but now you have the pressure of planning it. However planning a first date doesn’t have to be stressful all you have to remember is that a first date should allow for good conversation and most of all be fun so you and your date remember it.

Here are a few ideas of things you could do for a first date.

Dinner and a Movie - it’s simple but effective, it allows for good conversation in a time frame that isn’t too long that you run out of things to say. The dinner allows for you to get to know each other and the movie allow you to have something to discuss at the end of the date or maybe the second date (Also allows both of you to get close i.e. hold hands or maybe a kiss only if both of you are comfortable with that).

Aquarium, Museum or Gallery- Allows you to take your time and see something new as well as have something to talk about or have an opinion on. This could also lead to a dinner date after which is good as you will always have something to talk about (i.e. what was your favorite fish etc) if you run out of things to say.

Go on a ghost tour - It’s new and not many people do it for a first date therefore make the date more special as well as unique. It will give you something fun to do as well as be memorable and give you something to talk about on future dates or at dinner if you go for a bite to eat after. A good thing about ghost tours is that it allows you and your date to get close either due to cold weather to keep each other warm or just because your date get scared (brilliant way to break the touch barrier).

Ice Skating - Perfect winter date as it’s fun and exciting also an active date and therefore memorable. Ice skating together also allows both of you to get close as you can hold hands as you go round the rink or simply help each other stay up.

Whenever planning that first date keep in mind what both of you like. If both of you like films go see a movie, if you both like comedy go to a comedy club, if you're both into live music go to a gig (I think you get the picture now). If you go to something you both like you will enjoy it’s more enjoyable and both of you will be relaxed and comfortable in each others presence and hopefully lead to more dates in the future.
