Hi guys! Thanks for visiting Allison in Wonderland today! This post is going to be about just what the title says – ideas for your first date! Although I’ve been in a relationship for a couple years now, a lot of my friends have been going on first dates recently and I wanted to compile some ideas for those of you who might be trying to think of something fun! Let’s get started.
Outdoor Arboretum/Park My boyfriend and I’s first date was actually right here on campus at James Madison University. It was our freshman year so I wasn’t allowed to have my car on campus so we had to make do with what we had. Luckily, I lived in a section of campus that was right across from JMU’s arboretum, which is a beautiful, outdoor garden type place that has a walking path through the woods and a pond. At this point in my freshman year, I hadn’t been to the arboretum yet so it was the perfect first date! He planned it all out and it was so fun!
Amusement Park Something I’ve wanted to do for years with my boyfriend is go to Hershey Park, our nearest amusement park. We’re finally getting to go this summer and I can’t wait! Amusement parks are a really great first date location because there’s so much to do! You can ride the rides, eat cotton candy, people watch, and you’ll never run out of things to talk about. It’s also a good environment to be in if you decide you’re not that into him because it’s still a fun thing to do even if you end up just being friends!
Boardwalk If you live in or near a beach town, this one’s a given. Boardwalks provide so many fun things to do! You can play arcade games, ride the ferris wheel (ferris wheels are my favorite), browse in the souvenir shops, and even take a walk along the beach! I live relatively close to the beach and at our boardwalk, they sometimes have bonfires on the beach at night. It would be so cute to grab dinner, walk along the boardwalk, and then watch the sunset by the fireside!
Those are all the first date ideas I have to share today! Which one was your favorite? Let me know in the comments. See you next Tuesday!
