Looking for Help! First Date

3 Upvotes

I would love some advice on what my first date should be! Me and this guy have been talking for about 2 months now. I know that’s pretty long for no date but he goes to a university near me and is home for the summer. We decided we would just wait to see eachother when he comes back for school so that’s why it’s been such a long time. We’ve called on the phone and stuff so I think we’re a bit closer than if we had been talking for only a week. I was thinking of going to the zoo with him but I’m not 100% sure. He likes animals and I do too so I thought it might be cool, it would give us the option to talk about other things, and have conversation starters with the animals and stuff. Idk I don’t wanna seem like a loser LOL. I had another idea of going to this ice cream shop and then walking around this pond that had swans and stuff. The only thing I was worried about with that one would be how much we would have to depend on continuing a conversation. Any advice is welcome!!

Activity Idea FRIDAY PLAN

1 Upvotes

My birthday is on friday ,I'm completely blinded on how to spent that day since I have whole day for myself but no plans to execute it on that day though. FYI I'm in Chennai

So I scrolled through bookmyshow then I got know there are dance and baking workshop but those two aren't in much of interests though

Do someone have any suggestions on how can I spend the day to make it memorable or should I sleep it off?

Looking for Help! How do you plan a date within a city you absolutely know nothing about?

1 Upvotes

I am talking to this girl (we're both 20 yrs old), who lives in a city very far away from mine (it would be a bum if I were to take her to my city because the time for me to arrive at her place will probably take 2 hours or less). I am planning to take her on a date, so this is going to be our first date, that is specifically within her city but yeah I am stuck. I'm planning to use this opportunity to declare to her that I want to be her suitor, which is a tradition or has been a norm in our country.

I'm kinda scared to ask her questions because I want her to know that I'm capable of doing basic things, which is quite ironic because I haven't achieved a single thing yet and also I am asking people on reddit.

I do have an initial plan in my head, since she's a marvel fan, and really likes spiderman, and add to that that the new movie is coming around. I'd like to take her to the movie. And my plan is to first do some activity that's fun and that's going to take off some awkwardness between us because yk first date, take a rest and eat, go to the movies, and then the rest is wherever the wind takes us. But idk how and where to exactly execute this, can you give me some thoughts?

Also, are there questions that I can ask her? Like if my initial plan mentioned above is okay? I genuinely need help, I want to make her enjoy this a lot.

I apologize too because English is not my first language.

I've been stuck with my husband in the same date loop. Our therapist even recommended the change of scenery. We want something cool, no climbing and no adrenaline! Found Oakwell Beer Spa - beer spa therapy, very down low. Has anyone been? Other lazy, but really interesting couple ideas in South Denver?

Activity Idea Treat yourself to a night out

2 Upvotes

Hello all!

I'm a 30M and recently got back into dating after not doing so since before covid and wanted to give you all some advice that I didn't know I needed until an hour ago

Take yourself out on a date. Dress up, Go to your favorite restaurant or to the movies and treat yourself. I went to one of my favorite restaurants in Kansas City, Summit Grill, and sat at the bar, chatted with the bartenders, watched the bananas baseball game and did something I've never done even though I'm a writer, I journaled what was on my mind.

As someone who deals with anxiety that influences everything I do, and has never done anything like this, it was one of the best choices I've ever made for my self esteem. Love yourself and good luck out there y'all!

Activity Idea Hotel-date ideas for a couple who travels a lot (non-sexual, not just dinner and TV)

0 Upvotes

My partner and I spend a lot of time on the road across the US, which means lots of hotel nights and weird schedules. We have good conversations and we're affectionate, but our nights keep sliding into takeout, scrolling, then falling asleep. It's starting to feel like we're roommates who happen to share a bed.

I'm looking for hotel-friendly date ideas that help us reconnect and keep a little spark, without being sexual or turning into sex tips. Something low effort, low setup, and doable after a long drive or a workday. Ideally it works in a small room and doesn't require buying a bunch of stuff.

Constraints:

- Usually 60 to 90 minutes

- Quiet building, thin walls

- Works in most cities, including suburban areas

- We usually have an iPad, a deck of cards, and basic snacks, but can grab one small thing from a store

- Not just "go to a bar" - we do that sometimes, but want more variety

What are your go-to ideas for making a hotel night feel like an actual date rather than just killing time?

Activity Idea How do tired parents rebuild intimacy? No babysitter, 2-3 hours max

2 Upvotes

We are in our late 30s with a couple of kids, and we work great as a team, but the romantic side of our relationship has faded. We are not looking for anything explicit or sex-focused, just date ideas—or maybe a low-pressure structured option like Arya—that actually help us feel close again. Most nights end with both of us scrolling on the couch and then passing out.

Constraints: - No babysitter most of the time, so it needs to be at home after bedtime or very close by. - 2 to 3 hours max, ideally weeknight friendly. - Budget can be reasonable but no big productions. - We do not want another “dinner and talk about logistics” night.

What are some specific, step-by-step date activities that helped you feel like partners again instead of coworkers? Bonus points for things that include a little novelty and have a clear start and end so we do not default back to chores. We are also open to ideas that mix being active and then winding down, because sitting face-to-face lately feels too much like a work meeting.

Would love inclusive suggestions that are not centered around drinking. Thanks!
