15 Creative Dating Ideas You Need To Know

Creative Dating Ideas

There is no doubt that building a relationship can be hard work! You are making a choice to devote a significant amount of your time, energy, focus and often finances as well to getting to know this one other person. So the very last outcome you want is to notice that this whole “relationship building” process is starting to feel like a bore, a snore or a chore! With the kind of whole-person investment you are making, the way to know it is working is if you are having FUN!

But let’s face it – sometimes you just fall into a rut without even realizing it. Maybe you are still enjoying each other’s company, but the dates themselves, well….bleh. You’re bored.

She’s bored. And it’s time to do something about it!

If you can see your relationship in this example, you are going to love these creative idea options for fun and memorable romantic outings! So read on to get your creative juices flowing and put some spice back into your time “au deux!”

If you see an idea you really like from this list, the next step is to consider whether it is a good choice for a first date or if you should wait until a second date to try it.The concept here is simple: you want to make sure that anything you do for a first date at least allows you ample face time to talk, connect, read each other’s basic body language and nonverbal cues and decide if you each want to have a second date.

 

With that in mind, we hope you enjoy giving some of these ideas a whirl!

1. Pick out a fitness class to take together. Boxing, kickboxing, yoga, tai chi – whatever you are both interested in makes fair game for an outing that will show you each a new side of the other!

2. Go watch nature somewhere. Birdwatching, a trip to the zoo, a local hike, a whale watching boat ride, a safari adventure, an outing to the local natural science museum and other nature-centric activities can stimulate your minds in new ways and give you a sense for how your partner views the natural world.

 

3. Tour some art galleries. Art brings out the most interesting and unique ideas in people. Just looking at art can spark new, fresh conversation that continues for hours afterwards.

 

4. Learn to brew beer or taste wine. Brewery classes and wine tastings are so much fun and they make for a great place to meet other couples with similar interests that may turn into new friends.

5. Head to the roller derby or the ice skating rink. It is easy to forget not everyone has had these “classic” childhood experiences. And maybe here, that someone is you!

So why not have them now, and make new memories by including your new partner in the experience.

6. Meet for coffee or tea. Sure it is a staple, but there is a reason for it. You get great eye contact with minimal interruptions, the noise level is usually manageable and you aren’t dealing with alcohol when you barely know the other person.

8. Visit a local ice cream shop. What could be more innocent and full of smiles than a visit to an ice cream, frozen yogurt or gelato shop? It is perfect for getting-to-know-you moments.

9. Meet friends. The “with friends” initial meet is great for a couple reasons: one, it feels totally safe, and two, there are more people to share the conversation with.

10. Attend a lecture or author event. Listening to an interesting author/lecture and then having coffee after will supply you with the perfect meet-up conversation starter.

11. Shop together, then cook dinner and/or dessert together. Preparing and enjoying food is one of the most romance-worthy experiences two people can share. It involves every sense and also really showcases your strengths as a team. From planning the menu to shopping for items, cooking and then serving and eating the meal, you will have a chance to grow closer.
