Is a walk in the park considered a real date?

Question

OlderAndWiser · Accepted Answer

Date: an arranged meeting between one male and one female for the purposes of spending time together, getting more familiar with each other, and determining whether there is enough sexual attraction and romantic feelings to justify declaring mutual monogamous intentions.

Yes, it's a date.

EmbraceThePain · Accepted Answer

Yes, it is.
A "real" date can be anywhere as there is no criteria for where it should be.
As long as it is among those who are intimate with each other and not platonic friends then it is a real date.

Of course both need to know they are going on a date

DarkCarousel · Accepted Answer

If two people who like each other, or are getting to know each other in a potentially romantic way, choose to spend time walking together in a park—- yes. It’s a date.

electromagnetic · Accepted Answer

It some it can be. I think it’s cute for a couple that’s been together for a while. But if I were dating someone new, going to the park isn’t it. I’m not 9.

Brainsbeforebeauty · Answer

It's a great way to start or finish a date...

Keyboardkat · Answer

It can be. Depends on where the relationship is at. I wouldn't suggest it for a first date. Although it could end up happening by accident if you parked your car far from the date venue.
For that matter, how about sitting on a park bench watching the parking meters expire, LOL!

TheorionMage · Answer

Were you committed to spending time EXCLUSIVELY in one another's company?  Exploring One another's common interests?  Achieving a level of comfortable familiarity... then, 'Yes' it was a 'Date'!

I-C3_ME · Answer

A date is really just hanging out, doesn't really matter where or what you do. Successful dates are the ones where you have fun, this can be an activity or convo or like gordon likes to say "some good f***ing food". So yeah, walking in a park is a date but it really depends on if the person you're with likes doing that otherwise they may not enjoy themselves.

HairyPoppins · Answer

Not really. I mean it's a good first meet but I would use the walk to set up a proper first date with someone. A walk in the park is way better then a coffee date. Both are the same as they are for getting to know someone better out of the gate.

Roxi-2 · Answer

For me it’s not a date but it does depend on the type of park it is because I know some have lots of people and like nice stuff to do but at the same time if it’s just a regular kids park with some walking area or something for me it’s a no

Wiredone · Answer

I think it could be as long as you have dinner before or after the walk. I've done that with my wife many times

Lliam · Answer

It can be. Certainly. I particularly like to take girls to arboretums or botanical gardens. Very romantic. Even better if you take a blanket and small picnic with quality snacks and wine. 😊

JackSmy · Answer

It is up to the two, to decide what they think is a "date". But why does that need to be "DEFINED"? Why can't two people that care about each other, maybe love each other, just be together, and it is JUST THAT: being together, because they like each other?
Why does it need a "Label" and be called a "Date"?

so_over_this · Answer

Yeah it would be a date, not my favourite, but a date.

SherideenJo · Answer

For me no. I'd say that's just a meet up and a walk.

A_Bell · Answer

Any mutual activity with romantic intent is a date. Everything else is just semantics.

FoxnEagle · Answer

Yes, especially if there are ducks to feed or if you're walking dogs!

PaynefulPleasures · Answer

Nature walk, cemetery walk, moonlit walk,& there's hiking to ✌️

hahahmm · Answer

Anything is a date if you both know there's romantic interest.

Daniela1982 · Answer

It could be considered one just like a hike or a bike ride.

TommyMountainFigure · Answer

Technically yes, but only if you buy her an ice cream cone.

Anonymous · Answer

walking in a park is not a date, it is an ADDITION to an actual date

FreyaRed · Answer

Yes. The question isn't where, when and how but who.

HawkPerception · Answer

I don't see why not. I love walks or hikes through nice areas for dates. Hikes are my ideal date.

NathanDavis · Answer

if we get to talk, and get to know more about one another and that leads to yet another encounter... I consider that a step forward in the right direction, categorizing it as a date that counts or not as a "date" would not be my concern.

Pogi-Paddy-2 · Answer

It is a casual date, and it is a good way to get to know your date, although if I was doing it, I would pack a picnic to go along with it to heighten up the romantic aspect of it.

exitseven · Answer

No, and I am the biggest fan of cheap dates. I think you have to plan an actually activity.

clampfan101 · Answer

A real date is like an adventure in that the destination isn’t the biggest part.

ChiPaPa · Answer

You could make anything a date. Do taxes together. As long as you're having a fun time.

legalboxers · Answer

depending what speed to walk what do you see and talk about

shouldnobetter · Answer

Yes it can be. Just a casual walk and talking and learning about each other, out in the open with no noisy crowded spaces. Just comfortable atmosphere where you each can just be yourselves.

Sounds like a great idea to me.

Zelda_5 · Answer

If you call it a date it's a date. I would consider it a date for sure.

loveslongnails · Answer

If you make prior agreed upon arrangements to meet, in other words you set a time and a date, then it's a "real date". The activity doesn't matter, it's the above criteria.

Almsalways · Answer

It doesn't have meaning of at a bar or restaurant or movies to be considered a date walk in the park can be just as romantic and fun depends on how you look at things but I would consider that a date

REALSTEEL · Answer

Yes its something simple just getting to know the person

roy_ricky09 · Answer

Maybe not date date... But it's a good idea. It certainly will help with long meaningful conversations, what else would you do in a park. Lol

Goatmeal · Answer

Dating is rarely a walk in the park.

zagor · Answer

It depends on the inception. If intended as such it is as good as any.

Wise4myage · Answer
