Whether It's Your First Date Or In The Midst Of A Long-Term Relationship, You'll Enjoy These 6 Date Ideas

In This Article:

Have you ever been on a date? Do you remember your first date? Was it horrible or worth remembering it? First dates can be daunting especially if you haven't met the person yet. Don't worry, just relax because with these ideas for your first date and some dos and don'ts for the senior singles to relive that experience (with someone else).

For those just starting a relationship...

It doesn't matter how you met someone. It could be through a sugar daddy website or through your common friends. Regardless, there's nothing like going on a first date. To some of you, it might seem some sort of cliché, but it should be memorable. And we have some unique ideas to help you out to make your first date a great one.

1. Take a cooking class

Having a dinner or lunch together might be a great way to have a great conversation. That way, you'll get to know each other and you can share some of your experiences. Make your first meal more exciting.

2. Attend a wine tasting

Once you've reached a specific age, drinking wine is something you can enjoy on your first date. And believe it or not, but there's nothing more relaxing than tasting some great wines. This date can definitely give you the feeling of being in Italy.

3. Visit a market or fair

You can surely go for this idea if you're planning a date in the warm season. Just visit your local market or country fair and enjoy the moments in a fun way. You can roam with your partner hand-in-hand and look for some fresh produces or buy something for your partner. And if visiting a fair is your plan, nothing can be more exciting than a Ferris wheel or playing games.

For those already dating...

One of the most common problems couples who have been together for years face is how to keep their relationship exciting. That's why we have come up with some great ideas so that you won't have to think much about your next date.

1. Explore your hometown

Check out some different tours in your local area, or the nearest city you can visit and enjoy. This plan will definitely help you fall in love and live the moment all over again.

2. Sample foreign cuisine

If either of you is a foodie, don't wait to take your partner to try something new. That could be a great experience.

3. Recreate your favorite dates

Nostalgia is something that brings back a number of memories you created with your partner. You can simply recreate that particular date.

Dos and don'ts for older singles...

People in their younger years often get very excited about their first date and start fantasizing about it. Some of them even start making plans for their marriage and honeymoon.

With growing age comes grounded thinking. See if you are OK with dating after a divorce or a loss. The new dating partner expects an unwanted shot and no comparisons — be it positive or negative — to your ex or late partner. And if you're 50+ and looking for a date, check out senior dating sites to reach your potential partner.

You should:

Dress appropriately but comfortably for the venue.

Choose a public venue for the date.

Keep calm, be relaxed and charming.

You shouldn't:

Be judgmental.

Talk a lot about your ex.

Brag about your credentials.

Have a sex on your first date.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself.

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
