First Date Ideas
First
date ideas are not always easy to brainstorm. Here are
some inexpensive, expensive,
and extravagant ideas to get your creative juices flowing
as you plan the first date:
Inexpensive First Date Ideas:
1. The beach
Take a picnic,
a bottle of wine and a rug and spend the day catching
the sun together.
Or you could take a dip together. All that splashing
is bound to be great fun.
2. Picnic by a river
Prepare
a basket of goodies, a chilled bottle of wine, and
enjoy the day relaxing
in each other's company.
3. The movies
Let your
date choose the film. It will show a good gesture if
you don't have the same
taste in films. Select a unique theater (i.e. leather
seating) to enhance the experience and arrive early
to provide plenty of
time
to get to know each other.
4. Theme park
Big or small, everybody
loves theme parks. Triple loop roller coasters, dodgems,
etc. is the ideal date for the big kid in us.
5. Eat in
Show off your culinary skills
and ask them round for dinner. Don’t over do
the candles and music or you may frighten them away.
6. Indoor ice skating
- or roller blade in the park
You can lean against
each other for balance and warmth.
7. A sporting activity
that you both like
If you are both big basketball fans, then take a trip
to see a professional basketball game together.
8. Kite flying
It's a lot more fun than you may think!
9. A trip to the zoo
Everyone likes
animals so a trip to the zoo makes for a perfect date.
10.
Local museum or art gallery
This is only a good
idea if you are both interested in museums.
Expensive
First Date Ideas:
1. Go to a concert
Take them to see
their favorite band in concert and dance the night
away.
2. Go for an expensive meal
Have her
serenaded by one of the waiters with a bottle of champagne
and a
dozen red roses.
3. Horseback riding
Take a trip
to the nearest horse farm. Spend the afternoon horseback
riding and
stopping
to take in the scenery and afternoon lunch in a
local inn.
4. Candle lit dinner for two aboard a
yacht
Take her out to sea. Put on the full works,
captain
sailing, champagne on ice and lobsters for dinner.
5.
Take in a show
Get dressed up for the evening and
go along to watch one of your favorite shows
at a theatre house. Or go to a premier of a
big blockbuster movie.
6. Horse drawn carriage at night
Take
a trip around the city and through the park on a horse
drawn carriage.
Have it take you to a swanky restaurant and
wait while you dine.
7. Under the sea - Go
scuba diving
There's three worlds to explore on Earth. What's under
the surface, what's on the surface, and what's above
the surface. Take your date on an adventure to discover
what wonders the ocean holds.
8. Take to the sky - Go for a trip in
a hot air balloon
The thrill and beauty of a hot air balloon ride is a
very romantic and exciting date. And that's no hot air.
9. A trip to New York for the afternoon
Fly
her to New York and back in an afternoon. This
is the
ultimate
first date destination (especially
if it is her first time there).
10. On top of the world
Prepare a basket
of caviar, prawn cocktail, strawberries and cream
and champagne
on ice and take to the skies.
Extravagant

Take in
all the sights that Paris has to offer. Finish the
date
with an expensive meal in one of the swanky restaurants
in Paris.
2. Helicopter ride
Go for a flight over
the city in a helicopter.
3. Become a Vegas Whale
Dress up to the
nines and go blow a fortune in a top casino.
4. Parachute jump
Take to the sky for
the high of a lifetime. This is cannot be a surprise
date unless
you are sure this is what they want.
5. Climb to the top
of the world
Go mounting climbing on a clear summer’s
day. Don’t forget the
flag for when you reach the top.
6. Go swimming with dolphins

to be the ultimate experience of a lifetime and if
