5 Great Ideas For A First Date

Choosing where to go to on a first
date is just as important as the kind
of clothes you decide to wear to a
job interview. A lot of the male folk
become jittery with picking the right

place for a first date given the fact
that they believe showing the right
impression is very important. This is
not far from the truth as ladies,
sometimes unknowingly decide the
course of the relationship from the
first day out. The dilemma of a first
date has been one that has existed
from time immemorial as factors
such as the appropriate location, the
right clothes and the right words
cause more than a few problems.
Well, we shall be looking at the
appropriate location for a first date
in this article, even as we put
premium on places ideal in an urban
and cosmopolitan setting.
Dinner or Lunch at a Restaurant
This perhaps is a common first date
idea for Caucasians but it seems to
be gaining ground among Africans. It
is an idea that has survived the
times as it is one that makes it quite
easy to get to know your partner
well while you nibble food. There is
however a caveat here, and that is
remember to have enough money
to cover up your meals especially in
this clime where the man is
expected to cover up the costs.
Lunch is cool if you both work either
in the same place or somewhere
nearby. What makes Lunch ideal is
both persons have to stick to time
as they have a limited time to
converse which is actually a good
thing if both parties do not get
along. It makes it easy to terminate
the date on time and leave for
work.
Ice cream at a creamery
This is probably a very good idea for
a first date as most ladies have a
good relationship with ice cream. It
also helps to save cost as the
amount spent here is smaller than
that you would have otherwise
spent on a dinner outing. More so,
you could take a stroll while you eat
the ice cream which helps to ease
nervousness in some people.
Sporting events
You could actually hit it off with your
partner if you know the sport she’s
in love with. Getting her out on a
date to her favourite sport teams
event would score you a lot of
points. Moreover, it might not
appear romantic to some but it’s a
good way to fill in moments of
awkward silence which may occur
when you run out of ideas on what
to say on the first date.
Music Concerts
Depending on what tastes you both
have in music, concerts are a good
choice for a first date. Matching
tastes of music genres such as
classical, rhythm and blues and hip-
hop are a good way to kick start a
budding relationship. What makes
this idea cool is the fact that your
date would be in a public place with
a lot of people with similar tastes
and interests which would help
sustain your conversation.
The Cinemas
The movies seem like the most
common first date idea but is
farfetched given the fact that it is
slightly on the high side and it
doesn’t really present an
opportunity for partners to get to
know each other intimately well
enough. It however is a good choice
for a first date even as it can be
combined with other activities
including lunch, dinner and Ice
cream. Alternatively; depending on
how comfortable your partner is,
you could watch the movie together
at home while you prepare a meal.
This helps to save cost but increases
the anxiety and nervousness
associated with first dates.
Other ideas which are not so
common in this clime include going
out for a picnic and visiting the zoo.
Unfortunately, we do not have
enough zoos and animal
conservatories but the other
comfortable ideas will suffice. It is
however important to note that
what guarantees success in a first
date is a culmination of a lot of
factors including your appearance,
location and most particularly, your
ingenuity. Just relax and enjoy but
most importantly, have enough
money to cover your expenses.
