Dates that are sure to impress!
So you’re getting ready to go on your first date with someone you’ve been talking to for a while.  The pressure and anxiety is building as you try to decide on what would make you both most comfortable.  The old fashioned dinner and movie is the most common idea but may not fit the interest of every couple.  We’ve compiled a list of some fun and unique ideas for that special first date!

• If you both enjoy traveling:  Check out some tourist attractions in your local city.  Even if you’ve done it before, it is always interesting to visit historical landmarks.  Top it off by taking some pictures together. 

• If you both enjoy small talk:  Try meeting up at a coffee shop or bakery.  This will allow you to chat up a bit and potentially make plans for something afterwards if all goes well.

Not so great dates:

• The movies:  This allows for minimal or no talking.  There won’t be much to learn about each other as there will be a major lack of communication.

• A double date:  This often takes the attention off of the person you are trying to build a relationship with.  Communication is not made between just the two of you.  Don’t start off your relationship by taking attention away from what could be your significant other!
  
  
• Unpopulated areas:  Unless you know the individual really well, it is best to plan your first date in a place that is highly populated such as an amusement park.  This will ensure that you both feel comfortable and are more likely to enjoy yourselves.
