Dating isn't easy these days — it's a lot of scrolling, swiping, and game-playing. Simply meeting someone is half the battle, but afterwards you're tasked with coming up with date ideas, which makes things even harder.
Sure, you could take them to a movie or a nice dinner — those will always be classics — but if you really want to impress them, you've got to think outside the box.
Luckily, there are tons of creative first date ideas for people on every budget and from any city. They're unique, unconventional, and (almost) guaranteed to help you learn more about your date.
Here are 23 first date ideas that are sure to impress:
1. Take a baking or cooking classes
Places like Sur la Table offer gourmet classes and "date nights" weekly.
2. Go to a specialty bar
Whether it's a themed bar, a bar that lets you create your own drink, or something undercover like a speakeasy, it'll take "grabbing drinks" to a whole new level.
3. Volunteer together
Doing a beach clean-up, working at a soup kitchen, or helping build a house will reveal how caring the person you're dating is and it'll get your relationship started on the right foot.
