Cities have grown in their capacity to offer truly unique experiences, and if you don't live in a metropolitan area you can recreate some of these ideas at home. When you're trying to get to know someone and you've gone on many first datesโno shame! You'll both be out of your comfort zones and won't fall into those conversations that leave you yawning into your pasta at a local date spot.
A handful of these options take place in silence or give you ample opportunity to discuss what's happening around youโso even if the date doesn't work out, you get to have the experience regardless! Plus, you'll get to know a person even better by putting them into a situation they may not be used to, like cycling or going to an arcade. Ahead, 80 fun datesโincluding cheap date ideas for couples on a budget and at-home dates if you're stuck insideโto get you started. Whether you're a true art buff or just along for the ride, this one's a great quiet place for both of you to gauge each other's interests and conversational skills.
Choose a fun, exciting gallery or photo exhibit that's not too obscure if you're anxious about not having enough to talk about. Similarly, museums have new or rotating exhibitsโeven if you've been before, there might be something new to see. They also have spaces to sit, eat, and chat, and potentially architecture or gardens that offer options to walk around. Museums are designed to spark engagement and conversation, which is perfect. At the very least you can laugh about not understanding the significance of everything.
Approaching it from the right attitudeโjust have fun and be willing to make a mess! Carbs and a significant other?
