First few dates

nudlnose

Hey every1,

This is my very first post, so be gentle:)

Iv just start seeing this guy, and quite like him. But im stumped when it comes to ideas for things we could do excluding of course the borish, over-used, dinner and a movie.

Anybody got any ideas that arent so run of the mill?

Thanks

Walk/Picnic - Bit out of season at the moment though
Karting
Pool
Bowling
Theatre
Walk on the nearest beach
Art Gallery
Museum
Wine Tasting Classes

The list is endless, personally I prefer something that has a slight bit of a competitive streak in it like the pool/bowling, gives a good insight to the personality of your date and can be a lifesaver if the conversation runs out.

Obviously it would depend entirely on your dates personality, also what age are you both ?

Theatre, concert, bowling?
I'd suggest iceskating but I'm not sure the rink's open yet

Go to the mountains for the day or the beach. Just take a stroll and chat. Go to the theatre or comedy show. The zoo mite be of interest. If you are into art, visit a few muesums and have a bit of fun.. if your energetic why not try rock climbing or a spot of pitch and putt.. loads to do, you just have to get out and try things.

Day trips to other cities.
Search for similar topics on boards, it's been asked before.

personally, I always avoided cinemas, comedy clubs and concerts on first dates. These are the crucial times you really want to be with the person and chat to them and find out more about them.
Museums, walks, picnics, the zoo etc.. are great ideas. And don't let the cold winter weather put you off... walking in the cold all wrapped up may be a good excuse for hugs and putting your arms around him/her
Best of luck

The zoo is a great one .

Go to a romantic spot up in the mountains.

Walk along a ' prom ... it's surprising what sea air does .

These are all day time activities of course ( at this time of year ) .

Evening activities need a bit more thought.

Some things i have done recently

In no particular order:

liffey tour - fairly crap to be honest, 45 minutes long and expensive for what you get.

Day trip to Derry / Antrim(Giants Causeway) - Well worth the trip i think, fantastic scenery.

Dublin Zoo - Good day out.

Also something of Note: http://www.xkcd.com/330/

Book shop above is actually a good idea.

Date #1 with the (now) wife was a shooting range. Date #2 was a tank museum. Date #3 was an electronics store. Definitely offbeat, and by that point, I figured she was a keeper.

None are quite so bizarre: I met my first GF at the UCD Range. An early date with her started out as a trip to Blessington, but we just decided to keep going and see where the road took us. Ended up in Wexford. (I did the same thing to a different lass some years later, started in San Francisco, headed for Sacramento, ended up in Reno) When I was in Korea, I'd see a lot of young couples at the Seoul War Museum. Not having much of a war museum in Ireland (Dublin?), you could go to Collins, I guess. You're kindof hosed on the Fry's Electronics though.

Me and my boyfriend are going to a self-build exhibition 2moro.

Dinner without a movie? Will only be boring if he is, and at least then you've found out he's boring sooner rather than later.
