Conventional first dates are usually rather boring and unimaginative. You go to a familiar bar, drink wine and order the meal that you can’t go wrong with. But dating should be much more fun than that. You should be able to make the other person feel and experience new, exciting things and real emotions, for only then does dating become what it should be – thrilling and inspiring.

Here we have some interesting first date ideas for all you adventurous spirits out there who seek new things with every new person they meet:

Visit An Outdoor Market

Regardless of what they say, EVERYBODY loves shopping, especially when it comes to those trivial little things and items we don’t really need. Take your date to a flea or farmer’s market, browse for hours and buy each other something special. Plus, it is a fun and interesting way to really get to know each other.

Take A Cooking Class

Tasty food is always a good idea, especially when you can make it yourself. Cooking is fun, and since it might be a bit awkward to go to his/her place on your very first date, you can take a local cooking class and learn some new culinary tricks.

Head To A Theme Park

Although it may sound a bit juvenile at first, theme parks can actually be a blast. Try all the rides and test your date’s fear limits on big roller coaster drops. Who knows, maybe some hand-holding will occur as well…  

Check Out Amateur Poetry Readings

This one may feel like a rather strange and “out there” first date suggestion, but it works! The great thing about amateur poetry is that it is almost always either pretty good or extremely bad. If it turns out that aspiring poets are indeed talented, your evening will be quite romantic. If, however, it turns out to be a catastrophe, you two will always have that night to laugh about. Truly a win-win scenario.

Outdoor Movie

Warmer months are about to commence so you’ll have plenty of opportunities to plan an outdoor type of the first date. Outdoor cinema and theaters are always a good idea, plus – they are usually free too!

Go Bowling

We think it is high time bowling made a comeback. Funny-looking shoes, beer, bar snacks, great music, and lots of fun trying to get those strikes. Just make sure you don’t get too competitive, though.

Infiltrate A Travel Group

Even though the two of you probably already know a lot about your own city, you can use dating as an opportunity to explore all the unchartered waters and cool locations your town has to offer but you haven’t been able to check them out yet. Infiltrate a random travel group and see what happens. It can be a lot of fun!

Go To The Planetarium

Stargazing never goes out of style. It is romantic, it is exciting, it is informative, AND it can open up your minds to unconceivable widths. Remember, there are only two things that are truly endless – love and the universe!

Go On A Scavenger Hunt

A scavenger hunt is certainly among the most adventurous first date ideas ever. Although these types of dates can feel a little bit outdated and corny, they are much more fun than you think, trust us! Get creative and come up with a list of thrilling activities you and your date will enjoy. This is a perfect opportunity to show off your creativity. Of course, you can always go and grab a drink or two afterwards.

Fun & Adventurous Training-Day

Yes, we know that exercising is something that is supposed to be done BEFORE you go out on a date, but why not think outside the box? If your date is also fond of a good workout session, go on a day date and exercise together. Long and adventurous bike rides are a slam dunk, while outdoor (or indoor) rock climbing is also a blast.

Go Book Shopping

Books have always been among the most potent conversation starters, so take your date on a book shopping spree to your favorite bookstore(s), buy each other books, and let the conversation take you where you’ve never been before.

Go Ice-Skating

Because, what a better way to break the ice, right?

The Internet changed the way we meet new people once and for all. Yes, meeting your love interest and the whole art of dating has been evolving over decades and centuries, but nothing made that big of an impact on this aspect of our lives like when the Internet became an unavoidable part of our households and our everyday life.

But is this necessarily a bad thing? No, of course not.

Traditional dating has seen better days. We at SugarDaddie.com know this better than most. Why? Because we have over 5 million members and the numbers just keep going up, which means only one thing – Sugar Dating is slowly but surely taking over the dating scene.

Although traditional dating is still the main option for most folks around the globe, its downfalls are many and it seems like people are beginning to see all the benefits Sugar Dating can offer. In the match between Sugar Dating vs Traditional Dating, we simply have to admit the former comes out the victor.

Let’s see why.

Dating has changed a lot through history, especially during the last decade or two. The internet has changed a lot of things, and dating is definitely near the top of that list. But, what about all those small yet significant differences among different cultures? This is where things get really interesting.

Even when we take two seemingly similar cultures and nations like Americans and Brits, those nuanced dissimilarities about dating are worth exploring. The act of trying to find true love is a very tricky one, but also a fun ride! So, let’s see what’s so different about dating in US and UK.

In today’s fast paced online environment everything is made to be more effective and efficient, so why should relationships be any different? Meeting and getting to know someone takes only a fraction of the time it did just 10 or 15 years ago and people are no longer restricted by their geographical boundaries. In other words, it’s just as easy to meet someone from your city as it is to meet someone who lives a thousand miles away.  However the question then becomes is it worth the time and effort to develop a relationship with someone that may or may not be open to relocating or for you making the changes in your life to move there?

For the casual dater, long distance relationships are rarely worth the investment of the time and money usually needed to keep this type of relationship going, but what if that person just knocks your socks off and could potentially be “The One?”  This could change everything and get you thinking in an entirely different mindset. You are now beginning to think about “how can I make this work?”

Modern dating is nothing like the movie Fight Club – we SHOULD talk about it! Like any other social skill, dating is an expertise that can be learned and polished, which is why we decided to provide you with a brand new set of dating rules for 2018.

If you want to be a pro dater, make sure you follow these rules:

Healthy relationships don’t always happen overnight, quite often they take a bit of time and nurturing to allow any residual negative feelings from past relationships, such as jealousy and envy to fade to nothing. However, sometimes if things are not progressing at a pace that you are comfortable with drastic measures may be needed, such as making him jealous.  Now this is not always a winning strategy as jealousy games can backfire, but they can also stimulate natural male instincts to seize that which may seem to be slipping away.

It’s not actually about how to make a guy jealous, it’s more about trying to cultivate a healthy relationship and doing those things that will result in a positive outcome for both you and a potential boyfriend.  But let’s just say for argument’s sake that of all your male acquaintances there is one that really stands out and you are certain that he likes you as well, but you just can’t seem to get him to make a move trying to make him jealous might be your only solution.

What does PDA stand for?

Public displays of affection are a demonstration of physical affection and emotional connection between two people. Although quite often those witnessing such spectacles are inclined to shout out “Get a Room!” Showing public displays of affection depends on the upbringing of the couple about getting intimate out in the open. Some people will see it as the most natural thing in a relationship, while others will feel awkward when the topic is brought up and even more uncomfortable when the kissing or hand holding occurs without warning.

Are you exclusive? This is a not an uncommon question that many couples ask themselves about the condition of their current relationship status.  This is a very interesting question because most couples have a hard time understanding what exclusivity actually means. In the old television shows kids in high school used the term ‘going steady’ to signify to the world that they were dating exclusively and would refer to the other as either their boyfriend or girlfriend.

What is considered to be an older male, one year, two years or perhaps 5 years or 10 plus, what that age gap should be?! For some reason the notion of older man is accompanied by certain visual characteristics, silver fox hair, well defined wrinkles, a mysterious aura, just like you’ll see in “the most interesting man in the world” or Richard Gere. They don’t just look it, they act it, they live it, they breath it.
