Thanks everyone for the fun and creative date ideas, definitely was useful and helpful 😉☺️

Cook a major meal at home. Think of it as "Dining in a fine restaurant at home".
I am serious.
Before the date, you two decide on what meal you want to make and eat together. Don't phone it in. Make it a "production", like a Thanksgiving dinner.
So, the day of the date/dinner, you two go shopping together to get all the ingredients and any necessary additional things (wine, cookware if there's something you need but don't have, a nice tablecloth, etc.) But you two do all this shopping together. Think of it as a shopping date.
Get home early enough to do the cooking though. Expect at least 3 hours of prep time and cooking time before you actually eat.
So, you prepare and cook together. Like you are the chef and he is the "sous chef". While the meal is cooking, you set the table etc. During all this time, you are talking and interacting - getting to know each other through words and actions.
After the dinner, well... that's up to you two.

[WindAtMyBack]

Take a canoe trip (Lot's of places you can rent them.)

Zip line. I just did my first one recently

Might be a bit too late for this year, but a corn maze.

Street festival.

Outdoor concert.

Group sports.

Bicycling

Playground. No, you are NOT too old. Swing on the swing, slide on the slide, get on the teeter totter.

Sledding (winter)

[MissStrawberry912]

Super fun 😊

[WindAtMyBack]

I did the Zip line, street festival and playground on dates over the summer. ( She was reluctant about the playground but had a huge smile on her face while singing on the swing. )

[MissStrawberry912]

Are you really 67? That’s very cute.

[WindAtMyBack]

67 plus a few months. She is almost 58. I like her a lot and I think she likes me. I try not to be boring. :)

[PrincessBunBuns]

Go to a museum. Give him two options that you like, and both pick together. So cute.


Go to a “mall”, but one of those malls that have activities inside. Like, build-a-bear, ice skating, bowling. You know what kind of malls I’m talking about.


Movie theatre. Once it ends, go get ice cream or stay after the credits. Usually they leave the lights on in the theatre, so you guys can talk.


Picnic/walk in the park. Like, order takeout and eat at a park bench.

[Angxl3120]

Rock climbing, you know where you'll be looking when she's climbing

[MissStrawberry912]

😂😂😂

[NathanDavis]

I've always liked (and has worked for me) what they call a Sunset Drive... you look for a good spot and take a drive there, it can be fun... if you bring something fun to snack and share, maybe a couple of drinks too

and if you hit it well and really connect, then you can take it from there to... anywhere the mood wants to drive you next...

[MissStrawberry912]

This actually sounds beautiful, but I guess I prefer this for 2nd or 3rd dates after being more comfortable with someone.

[NathanDavis]

a wise choice, yes...

I usually go out with someone, like this... till I am sure sure and comfortable with someone, and they with me

[MissStrawberry912]

Thanks for agreeing and recognizing it 😉

[NathanDavis]

of course, it makes all the sense (=

[MissStrawberry912]

You seem romantic.

[NathanDavis]

a part of me, certainly is

must be the Spanish in me...

[MissStrawberry912]

Ouhhhh Spanish!! Latino/Hispanic men can be really sweet. I want to date one 🤭

[NathanDavis]

tal vez, y un buen día... we never know...

[MissStrawberry912]

Hehe I just google translate, I shall see what awaits for me 🤭😜

[NathanDavis]

un mundo entero siempre espera... para el que se atreve

yes, lol... made sure too it would translate it well

I took my wife fishing in my little boat. If that is not your speed I cooked dinner for another first date. Then another first date I took her on the campus bus and we just rode around all night. Another first date I took her to the college where I went. They were having some kind of show in the student union.

[MissStrawberry912]

Oh my heart, this is beautiful and so romantic ❤️ your wife is so lucky & you’re so awesome!

[exitseven]

She was a cheap date. I asked her if she wanted me to bait her hook for her. When she scoffed at me I knew I had a keeper.

[MissStrawberry912]

What made you knew she was a keeper from that moment…

[exitseven]

@MissStrawberry912 So many things.

[MissStrawberry912]

I’d like to hear :)

[exitseven]

@MissStrawberry912 I was planning on moving to Colorado maybe forever. I was going out there with another kid. I even helped him fix up his car so it would make the trip. I had impacted wisdom teeth and I wanted to get them out before I left. I had them removed in the hospital and it took a few days before the swelling went down. I called this kid to tell him I was good to go. His mother told me he left without me. I was angry but I was still in town to go to my family's vacation home on Memorial Day. I was cleaning up the yard when a group of 8 or 9 people walk by. My friend was with me and he started talking to them. I just kept working until I noticed a girl wearing cutoff jean shorts and worn out old sneakers. She had the prettiest smile I ever saw. I tried to talk to her but she totally shut me down. Later I went down to the beach and tried again and this time she told me that she just graduated from college and she lived near where I lived. She would not tell me her name because she didn't want anything to do with me. I ended up going to her college library and getting her yearbook. I went through the whole thing until I spotted her picture with that same smile. I got her name and was able to look her up in the phonebook (this was the 80's). She asked me how I tracked her down and I told her. She was actually impressed that I went through all that trouble. I asked her if she would go out with me and she said that she was starting a new job out of state and was leaving the next day. I chalked it up to my crappy luck and forgot about it. A month or so later I ran into her again at the beach and we spent a lot of time together and decided we would try to date each other. It turns out we had a lot in common.

[exitseven]

We grew up in adjoining towns and had been to a lot of the same events. She worked at the local cinema and one night I took a girl there to see Back To the Future. I was standing in line to buy popcorn and all of a sudden two guys start fighting and everyone is pushing and shoving. The manager and some other guy come and break up the fight. It turns out my wife was working behind the counter and she remembered the fight, We were both at the same Beach Boys concert and we knew some of the same people. We are both of Italian decent. After we went out for a few weeks she told me she had something she wanted to tell me. She said that she was engaged to a guy that lived across the country that she met at school She just broke up with him, I told her that I was engaged to a girl that lived 1500 miles away that I met at school and we had recently broke up./ A year and a half later we got married.

[MissStrawberry912]

Is this a true story of yours?

[exitseven]

When I tell people I realize that itsounds unbelievable but everything is true

I would take her to a polka party & although I have never been to one she would probably leave me there.

[bowenw]

Anything the two of you have in common. It could be hiking, going to an open mic night, going to a fair, bowling, rock climbing center, etc. You may enjoy going to an outdoor Christmas village/market if you have one in your area.

[Stefan181]

In my own opinion I would say anything that you can actually have good conversation.
Should be the most important thing to if you ate attracted to someone... get to know them and see if you can actually hold an hour long conversation... otherwise there would be no point

One funny story I have...
I have a friend that likes to take woman the beach or swimming pool on a first date 😅
Why? You ask
When woman swim there is usually no makeup involved 🤣
Clever I guess

[shortster]

Minigolf, go karts, game cafe, botanical gardens, zoo, amusement park.

[MissStrawberry912]

Love ❤️

[shortster]

Thanks

[overthinkergirl]

[collie22]

Get out and do something fun, I like the museum idea. Skating is fun too!

[AydenHazor]

Walk in the park, bowling, book store (this can be a fun one to learn each other's literature tastes and he might even treat you to a new book)

[jennifer_bloom]

A church baseball game

[ChicoFromThe305]

The winky face threw me off, what type of fun, actual date fun or just a date that the goal is to end in sex?

[MissStrawberry912]

Lol did you read the prompt? it stated to be able to connect. Hence, it’s not for a hook up but something meaningful :)

[ChicoFromThe305]

I read what you wrote and the winky face potentially shows a hidden intention lol

[MissStrawberry912]

Haha nuh, I’m just flirty and fun

[ChicoFromThe305]

Okay fair enough lol

[MissStrawberry912]

😉 hehe

[ChicoFromThe305]

[Den1971]

Coffee, walk in park not a movie. To quiet. Gotta be able to chat and see expressions

[TaureanBull81]

Cooking 🍳 together in just an apron 🤣

[TaureanBull81]

Thanks for the upvote @MissStrawberry912

[MissStrawberry912]

You’re welcome, it is a romantic but sexy date! Lol

[TaureanBull81]

Once dinner 🍽 is served, you can eat together while both naked at the dinner table 😉

[MissStrawberry912]

Hahaha oh damn

[TaureanBull81]

Care to sit on my lap while in our birthday suits at the dinner 🍽 table @MissStrawberry912?

[MissStrawberry912]

Hahaha oh my, this made me blush 🤭

[TaureanBull81]

You'd be receiving a creampie for dessert 🍨 at the same time 😉😋😈

[DreamLife7]
