Honestly, it's really hard to say, as everyone is different. It ultimately depends on what you know about him and his interests, as well as how much you really want to go on a date with him - i. e. if you're really looking forward to going on a date with him, or if you're still a bit unsure and you're going on a date with him to see how interested you'll be in him (there can be different kinds of date scenarios).
If you know some of his interests, maybe try to incorporate something related to that into the date setting or activity. Or better yet: if you know the two of you share similar interests, try to incorporate a setting or activity that would be enjoyable for the both of you based on those interests. 🙂
If you don't know then maybe stick to some of the reliable choices, but maybe even just something as simple as going for a walk through a park, along a beach or through the woods to just chat and talk about things along the way. Or maybe something as random as going to a county fair with games and rides (that is, if there happens to be one near you this weekend 😂), or maybe go to a museum or art gallery, or a farmer's market, or go to a wine tasting; visit a zoo, aquarium or botanical garden; go skating/rollerblading, go for a boat ride or a bike ride, go on a picnic, play putt-putt golf or go go-karting, or go to a street or food festival, or an outdoor concert!
There are so many things to do, but ultimately, it depends on the person and what you'd think he'd be interested in (as well as yourself).
Anyway, I hope that helps and good luck on your date! 🙂
I’m a fan of dinner and a movie, but i do it backwards in a way. You don’t want to be sitting in a theater for two hours while all that food weighs you down. So i prefer to do the movie first. It also helps to break the ice if conversation lulls over dinner. You can discuss the movie. If it goes well, you go for a walk after dinner. Even if not, i’d go for a walk anyway. I really don’t like sitting still after a meal. Ell oh ell!
You can do a Dave & Busters type thing, or mini golf. Oh, oh! Axe throwing is kool as hell! Now that covid is mostly behind us, movies in parks are coming back. I know you’re leaning away from movies, but that’s a fun spin on it. Take bug spray!
I’ve been to a planetarium on a date, or you can just go stargazing if the weather permits and you have dark areas. More bug spray! I think roller rinks are kool again somehow. You could do a small venue concert or some kind of live show like comedy. Drive-in movie and then a car-hop diner! Go to a store with greeting cards and read the funny ones to each other. Or just stay home and do Mad Libs. That’s fun! Or better yet, do the Mad Libs at home and then get on a bus or train and read them aloud. HAHA!

Well hopefully I would already know her a little bit and I would know what she likes to do right now in my city things are just starting to happen and through August and September there are going to be so many cool things going on from the air races the balloon races the camel races you have Lake Tahoe Virginia City whether it be hiking or just enjoying the weather the Sun but there are so many events that are happening at this time and I would definitely go to those take her to those if she hasn't ever been here before take her everywhere because there's just a lot of beautiful things here but it was all depend on who she is what she likes because that's what I would like to do with her it's the 24-hour type of town and there's just you name it you can do it but the key part would be just being with her and having fun with her would be the best part and I'm more of the spontaneous type of guy let's go LOL and just go do something different unique
I'm a big mini golf fan. I always find that to be one of the best times to spend with friends, and those friends always tell me that mini golf dates are where you can just be yourself and be goofy without getting embarrassed. No one is a mini golf pro (except for a few outliers) so it's always entertaining when someone chips it 3 holes down, or plinks it into the water. I have not had the chance to go on a mini golf date yet, but I've also been told that going out for ice cream afterwards is a good end of the date activity.
If she can wing a first date the night of I’m hooked however planning never hurt
restaurant patio overlooking a popular area people watching while talking shit is just fun with a stranger and you’ll get to show off some dark humor without reprisal. Top pick
Daytime date I’m 39 and if I was single and a woman asked me to play a trampoline dodgeball pickup game I’d be thrilled bonus I don’t have to admit to wanting to play trampoline dodgeball as a grown as man.
Always down for a bike ride or a trail run. Followed by beers and burritos.
Walks and going someplace new is nice to if we both don’t know what to expect.
My only No go is
Move dates; there for children that can’t hold a conversation save that for after the sex start’s.
Depending on how good you know eachother I would say if you know eachother well already it's nice to book a private spa together but then can be very intimate so not something for a first date. On a first date I would like to do something active with each other. Maybe a fun sport or going to a swimming pool together. Just something fun
There’s a painting while drinking wine class near where I live, there is also a bar that holds axe throwing contests. If a girl wanted to go to a museum or hiking or swimming that would be cool. Fly kites at the beach. Go karts! Any girl that wants to go to a shooting range would have me eating out of her hand (or whatever else she thinks is more fun😉) for life. I’m assuming you have someone taking care of your son.
As long as its somethings both of you enjoy then go simple. A date isn't about how much you spend or how it was this grand thing. The first date is about each other spending time with each other. I heard the comment saying the park. A picnic in the park a movie. Things that allow each other to enjoy each others time together and not feel pressured into anything. I am big believer that things should happen naturally and because both want the same thing.
When you say going on a date are you referring to your husband or some other guy? Either way, I will give my suggestions of fun here.
Hike in the woods, minigolf, gokart racing, the zoo, museum, concert or festival like a fair or amusement park, lazer tag, paintball, maybe a bar that does axe throwing, darts, playing pool, bags/cornhole. Something outdoors and fun that allows for interaction and a level of competition.
Just something simple like hanging out and talking in the town area, maybe picking something up to eat too, like something small.
My focus would be on getting to know the person more.
I'm pretty simple and repetitive, so if I'm doing some grocery shopping and she wants to do hers too, then cool.
Personally, I would enjoy a nice walk/exploring downtown near a place where we’d reserved to eat ahead of time. After, we can continue walking around and checking different places out. I like the idea of walking around, perhaps mingling or interacting with other people out and about, as well as checking out some cool places and spots that we may hangout in the future.
I love the outdoors. Usually if I'm meeting someone for the first time I like to do it in the middle of the afternoon and if it gets darker out and your getting along good then usually it's not hard to figure where to go especially having no distractions early in the date so you both have each other undivided attention 😀
I am pretty easy going so anything that involves just her and I time , without much distraction , like a walk in a park or a hike , or the zoo , camping , swimming , walk the boardwalk fishing , anything that gives her and I time to focus on each other so we can get to know each other , each other’s company is what matters it’s the quality time with each other that matters , then have a picnic or go out to eat , have a few drinks then end the night in bed that’s the perfect date
u maybe something fun and active... rock climbing, boulder or wall climbing, and then maybe a more relaxing spa time could follow after, with something great to snack on, that could all lead to some good quality night time
Mini-golf if the weather is nice. Regular golf if she's into that. Lots of towns near us have summer concerts in the even gins - that would be nice if it's rock, CW or standards/jazz. Minor league baseball game at a local stadium. Going to an Arts and Crafts Fair (if she warms me to wear walking shoes- that's a must).
Finding something historical and going to learn about it together.
Finding an antique bookstore and exploring it together.
Something to engage your brains, something that stimulates the intellect of each other that you both appreciate about each other.
I’m up for just about most things as long as we’re having fun. The biggest thing is that she’s not acting stuck up, closed minded to trying things. Is she adventurous? Maybe she says we’re going paint balling or something, or one of those places you can smash things. I just want someone who is having fun no matter what we’re doing. W the exception of committing crimes lol
That’s actually a great question and very cool! If it’s a first date, maybe something like a nice hike and hit up a brewery or pub for a drink and some food? Or something like a museum, a ball game, a picnic?
Asking me out in itself a big deal for me and if she s hit thats a plus pointer. Once it happened to me i was about to faint next day a week later i got no interest from her side and she left me alone nd ghosted me with other dood so i moved on not thinking much.
Is it a first date? Then I literally just want a nice place with nice lighting, quiet music, where we can sit together, have drinks and talk. For a first date the main activity must be TALKING. Any other activity would just distract from actually getting to know each other. Activities on a second date? Sure. But not first date. First date - let's talk about everything and nothing all night long, get to know each other, get closer.
Assuming this is a first date. Never do a movie on the first date. That’s lame. No interaction. Do something that makes you active together. Sports are fun like tennis or throwing a frisbee. Doesn’t need to be competitive just having fun. Go to a lake and walk around. At night get a blanket and some snacks and go to a park and lay on the ground looking at the stars. Guess it depends if you want it to be romantic or not.
Hypothetically (because no woman has EVER asked me out and never will I suspect lol), personally I'd just enjoy spending time with her. There doesn't necessarily need to be "plans" or activities. Example just a walk in the park and talk is good to. Depends if it's a first date also?
