First dates, first glances, first flutter of butterflies in your stomach. There is nothing more romantic than a first date with a person you like, and you want to create the best impression on them. Planning your outfit, the menu and the venue is something we all do to show that we care, and putting in effort can make your first date memorable, all the while guaranteeing you a second date. Here are some great options for you to make your first date a night (or day) to remember:

If you are looking for outdoor options, feel free to explore some of these ideas and see which works out best for you:

Go for a stroll:

This is a simple yet brilliant first date idea, where you can relax, be yourself and hit it off in a calm atmosphere. Most people shy away from going for a walk because they have this pressure on them to do an elaborate first date. But its beauty lies in its no-fuss quality. Pick out a serene location, take a hike together and let the conversation flow as the two of you connect over gentle breeze, chirping birds and swaying trees. See where the walk takes you two, and keep your options open for a light dinner or some snacks on your way back. All you need during this date is hitting it off during conversation and being flexible.

Watch an outdoor movie:

This is a pretty unusual concept, but arranging a  movie outdoors has an old world charm to it, and can really elevate your first date experience. It is a twist on the typical movie night, and can make it a fun, romantic night out.

For indoor options, you can:

Sweat it out:

And we don’t mean sex by that. Get a Yoga session together and get the endorphins flowing in each other’s company. But make sure that your date is into Yoga and fitness beforehand, or it might be an uncomfortable experience for the two of you.

Peggy_Marco/Pixabay. Being bibliophiles, old bookstores can be the most romantic spot for a first date.

Explore old bookstores:

Old bookstores are the most charming and romantic places for bibliophiles. For this idea to be a success too, make sure that your date loves books, or it might backfire. Explore old books, have stimulating conversations and explore each other in an antique bookshop, and you will surely move forward with a second date.
