When you’ve met someone whom you like and you’re ready to take the next step and meet in person, you may wonder where a first date should happen.

A first date is a big deal, and some thought should be put into it. Fortunately, we have some tips to make planning the big moment easier.

A first date that counts

After getting to know your new love interest, it’s likely you have a pulse on some of their likes and interest when it comes to activities and cuisine. As such, you can use this information to plan an unforgettable time.

If you would like to do a full dinner and cocktail evening, be sure to make a reservation so that you are ensured a table. If you do not want to commit to a long dinner, and simply wish to do cocktails, it’s a good idea to have a few places in mind in case there are any unexpected obstacles.

If you want to keep things more casual, you may opt for coffee or tea. If this is the case, consider a coffee shop that is somewhat quiet and not incredibly busy. You don’t want a litany of distractions while talking or to have a hard time hear one another due to background noise.

For those who wish to get more creative, you may want to choose an activity. A hike is always relaxing and calm. But for those who wish for more excitement, you may want to plan a different event – like an arcade, a museum, a sporting event or even karaoke.

You may even consider something like an intimate picnic in the park or stargazing in the evening.

The important thing is that you both enjoy the activity and are on board with it.

And, as always, it’s key to set guidelines with first dates. Such as timeframe, transportation and even having an option to leave if you are not feeling the chemistry. And meeting in public is also a good idea, especially early on
