Taking a woman on a first date can certainly be nerve racking. The first thing that you need to remember is that she is probably feeling the same way. She knows just as little about you as you know about her and that's actually a good thing. That means that you'll have plenty of conversation pieces to touch on throughout the date. Ask her questions and stick to simple topics like work, school, family, hobbies, music and you'll be set!
Now that you've warmed up to the idea that first dates can be comfortable and enjoyable, it's time to make a decision that could make or break your date: where to go, what to do. Women like being romanced and they also like men that are funny and spontaneous. You can be more original than the typical dinner and a movie. Well, even if you can't, here are a few ideas to get you started.
1. Go ice-skating, even if you're horrible. You'll both have a great time laughing at one another so it's the perfect way to get past that potentially awkward lack-of-conversation.
2. Play mini golf. This is another silly activity where you probably won't be able to take each other seriously. Unless, of course, you're both super competitive. In which case, game on! Competition can be hot!
3. Go to the aquarium. Local aquariums are usually relatively cheap and it is an atmosphere where frequent pauses in conversation are natural because you have something to look at. If your area has an aquarium, or zoo even, go check it out.
4. Take her to a wine bar. It's less conventional and therefore more relaxed than a typical restaurant date and you have the opportunity to explore together. Ask your date about her favorite wine then have the sommelier recommend something based off that.
5. Visit a water park when the weather's nice. It's just like hanging out at the beach but with so many more activities. Plus, relaxing in the lazy river is the perfect place to get to know each other.
6. Visit the county fair or local carnival. Tell her you're going to try everything ridiculous at the fair and go through with it. Chocolate covered bacon? Go for it. This is another great place to play up your sense of humor.
All in all, first dates are an opportunity to have fun while getting to know each other. Don't opt for a stuffy dinner and a movie. Be creative, be adventuresome and most of all, have a great time!
