Search Results: fun first date ideas

I asked out someone, and he said yes! :) We've been in the same French class for the past month, get along pretty well, and he's been flirty/friendly with me for a while, so I decided to just ask him out. It's going to be this weekend when summer finals are over, and I told him I'd text him the details.

So, these are some of my ideas, just tell me which one you like best, and if something's too much, or if you have a better idea I should consider, etc.

1) Getting some ice cream and walking through our city's public garden. It's really beautiful and peaceful. I jog along those paths sometimes, so I'm pretty familiar with the area.

2) Going to a nearby minor league baseball game. The tickets aren't expensive at all, you can sit close to the action, the food's good, and apparently it's not uncommon to catch a foul ball (which is kinda cool imo). I'd bring a mitt. :)

3) Seeing a band that's going to play at our university's performing arts center. It's a jazz and blues band, but I've never heard them play so I'm not certain what to expect. I know he likes jazz though.

4) Bowling, playing pool, and other games. There's this place on campus where you can bowl, play pool, air hockey, foosball, table tennis (which I rock at lol), arcade games, etc. There's food and drinks, and it's a pretty fun place to hang out. It's also fairly cheap for students.

5) A picnic at a park. I can put together some finger sandwiches, sliced french bread, a few of my favorite cheeses, fruit, and drinks. I might bake some brownies/cookies or something too. And of course, I'd bring a blanket and a basket.

I wanted to do something more original than coffee or dinner and a movie, because I really like him and it's not like we're complete strangers, so yeah, what do you think?

I met this guy and he's nice, funny, smart and attractive. However, maybe it feels like we're going to fast, but I think he's really into me and I'm... not sure yet still?

On Saturday we went to lunch and then walked around for a while. The time kind of flew by and it wasn't that it was hard to be around him, but I often felt like I had no idea what to say...

On the other hand, I could say, act, totally be myself around him which was nice.

We went on a second date yesterday. I really wanted to go to this parade and I had no one to go with... so on a whim I invited him. It was a really fun parade! I'd say for the first hour and a half we were just laughing and amazed at everything we saw! It was a gay pride parade ha, so maybe a bit much for a second date, but I really wanted to go and he said yes anyway!

I could tell he wanted to kiss me... he kept looking at my lips the way guys do... at the end of the date, he kissed me! Not once, but twice! It was really hot outside (85-90) and we were both kinda sweaty ha. I tried to avoid the kiss by giving him a hug, but he persisted anyway haha. He even held my hand while we walked! Anyways, it was an awkward kiss... kind of? Like I wasn't expecting it really? and then he did it twice!?

Idk, he's nice, fun, funny and I can be myself... but I don't really feel any connection yet. How much more do I wait? I know that I find him very very attractive so I think I'd fall into the lust trap if we went any further before I really decided my feelings.

I don't know! I just don't know what he sees in me and how he can decide so soon! He's a fit, athletic, attractive guy and I'm a little more average, curvy to overweight almost. Maybe he doesn't care? Or maybe it doesn't matter? Maybe he can see past that?

Idk, many things to think about! How many dates do I give this before giving up? Or should I just keep hanging out with him anyway? I do enjoy his company very much. See the thing is, I don't think I could even talk to him about this... that's how surface level we've stayed! I have no idea how to get into a deep conversation with him. He's always laughing and happy. I don't know if he can be that serious yet.

I guess I don't feel that love at first sight kind of feeling... but then again with the last guys I've dated I was friends for a really long time before we dated. I only met him like 2-3 weeks ago ish.
