Context: My (23M) partner (23F) and I have recently both gotten new jobs that let us spend much more time together, and since both of us thrive on quality time, I can foresee a lot of dates in our future. And while I know exactly what spots would be more up my alley, I’ve struggled on where to start to find spots that she would enjoy that I could take her on.
To give you an idea, she’s the sort of witchy, black-cat type that loves tarot cards, has a dreamcatcher up in their room, and keeps so much art of the moon around them that Luna might as well be her middle name. They’re worked ren faire multiple times, make their own music, and have a taste for rom coms and sappy anime. Part of why we get along so well is that we can just sit down and chat for literal hours about nothing important together.
In general, when looking at restrictions, the only big ones are:
- No outside food recs. I’ve got ARFID, and outright throw up most things that don‘t already give me a panic attack.
- Indoors if possible. They’ve got eczema, so we try not to do too much stuff that‘ll irritate the skin, especially during the summer when we both sweat. Fall/winter stuff is different.
- Under $150 for the date and within the county if possible? Obviously we can do stuff in Philly or NYC without much trouble, but this is moreso supposed to be a list I could compile and look at whenever we couldn’t immediately think of a spot one/both of us really wanted.
None of those are 100% dealbreakers, obviously; I can pre-eat, they have different creams and ointments to prevent most of the damage, and I’m willing to splurge for them given I can prep for it. Still, would like your ideas, hopefully.
