8 Easy First Date Ideas
Taylor Knoche

One date is all it takes. (Insert Pinterest Quote.)

"Maybe it won't work out. But maybe seeing if it does will be the best adventure ever."

Honestly, you really never know what could come out of just one date. That's all it is.

Girls, I mean a date. An actual real date. Not "hmu if you wanna hang" type of thing. Like call you and ask if you're free Friday night and take you out for dinner type of date. A text at midnight asking to hang is not a date.

So here are eight fun first date ideas that could either make it or break it:

1. Putt-putt.

Who doesn't like a little competition sometimes? (It also can bring out frustration, which can be pretty entertaining especially on a first date because you know they don't want to show it, but they can't help it).

2. Ice cream.

I promise you can never go wrong with some ice cream. A girl is always in the mood for ice cream (even when she says she's not, I promise).

3. Baseball game.

It may be scorching hot, but nothing is better than a baseball game with someone you like. Make bets with each other on who will win. Makes it interesting.

4. Fishing.

It will definitely test your patience so you kind of get an idea if you really want to spend the rest of your life with that person.

5. Bowling.

When I think of bowling I think of a laid back, good time. If anyone is like me then you'll definitely see that persons competitiveness. It can even be with other people.

6. Zoo.

Animals are better than humans so why wouldn't you surround yourself with them for a day?

7. Hiking.

Adventurous, doesn't require a whole lot of athletic ability. It does require a positive attitude and water.

8. Amusement Park.

This can show a true side of a person. I went on a date once to an amusement park and during the first roller coaster I realized that the guy is scared of heights and only came because he wanted to do something fun with me (cute, I know).

These aren't super serious dates, but they are good "get to know you dates." Nothing has to be serious right now. So when you go on this date, the guy will ask you on a date, properly. He will come to the door to meet you. He won't send a text saying, "I'm here." Too many guys just disrespect this dating game anymore. They think they can get by with likes on Instagram or texting every other week only when it's right for him and he needs something. How romantic, huh?

For the guys, just ask the girl you like on a date. It can be so simple, like go getting ice cream or fishing.

And for the girls, if you like a guy go for it.

It's one date. I'm no relationship expert by no means, but I do believe the dating scene has changed and we need to get back to how it use to be.

Time is so precious and it goes by fast. I'm not saying go out and try to force something, but go have fun. If it works then it works and if it doesn't then oh well.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
