When you’re hoping to impress someone you can feel the added pressure, especially when it comes to dating. Making a good impression is all about planning a great date and setting the perfect mood. So, if you think the dinner and a movie idea is overdone, here are a few ideas for some creative and fun dates for you and a special someone:
Sports
If your dating partner enjoys sports as much as you do then buying a couple of tickets to watch a game is a great idea for a date (just as long as you choose a sport you both enjoy). You can cuddle up in the stands, share some snacks and let your competitive nature run amuck. Sports tickets are also great for corporate events. If you want a VIP package you can buy British grand prix corporate hospitality that comes with a champagne and track-side views.
Get outdoors
While hiking and exploring might not be everyone’s cup of tea, it has the potential to make a great date. It gives you and your partner some privacy and peace and quiet, to start. You can chat away with any disruptions while also getting a bit of exercise. You get to decide on the scenery, so you could take them on a serene woodland trek or even wander down a secluded beach.
If you want to do something a bit more challenging, you could go rock climbing or zip lining and cheer each other on. Then, after a day of being active, you can and your date somewhere cosy with a warm drink and a blanket to share.
A fair or festival
If there’s a lively event happening on a street near year then don’t miss the opportunity to make a great date out of it. Fairs are a great place for you and your date to play some games, try different foods and generally cut loose. Because there are so many things happening in one place, you and your partner won’t be short of things to do and talk about.
Cook together
It doesn’t necessarily have to be at home. There are lots of places that offer one time couple’s cooking classes where you and your date can cook something together and dine on it together. One great recommendation is to attend a dessert making or baking class. There’s nothing more romantic than sharing something chocolatey and delicious at a table for two.
Rent a boat/kayak
There are two ways this date could go. The first way involves you and your partner lazily rowing on a sunny lake and sharing a bottle of champagne. The second version of this date involves life jackets, soggy feet and horrified laughing as you paddle your way through some particularly vicious rapids. Whether you want something romantic or something adventurous, there’s no better bonding experience than being stuck in a boat with another person.
Take a class
It doesn’t matter if you’ve never done it before. The fun part of taking a class is messing up and joking around with the person you’re with. Art classes and dance classes are particular great for generating hilarious scenarios and embarrassing each other. At the end you’ll both come out laughing and know a little bit more about something you’ve never tried before.
