There are quite a few great low pressure ideas for first dates if you are interested in that kind of date. The great thing about low pressure first dates is that they often lead to second dates. If you use any of these ideas you won’t have to worry about choosing a bad location or picking something that isn’t going to be a good match for a date. See which idea piques your interest and consider it for that special upcoming first date.

Outdoor community concerts. You’ll find many communities that offer some sort of concerts outdoors for the sake of the community. Some of them charge a little for the privilege of listening to great music (and sometimes watching beautiful fireworks displays at the end of the evening) while others offer the grand event for free. Either way it’s a winner of an idea for a great first date because you can enjoy the music or move to a quieter location and talk with the music and scenery as your backdrop.

Festivals, fairs, and open air markets. Believe it or not these markets can provide many hours of enjoyment and entertainment. These are mostly outdoor events held in the daylight hours and are very public. This means they are great first date material for nervous daters meeting the first time as well as those who know each other but not all that well. The reason these dates are low pressure is that there isn’t a prevailing sense of romance in the air so you’re free to get to know one another, walk, talk, and enjoy the great fair sights, sounds, and fragrances.

Miniature golf, bowling, roller skating, or ice skating. Depending on the time of year any of these will do. Other options along this line to consider are go kart riding, cross country skiing, downhill skiing, skateboarding, or snowboarding. If you’re extremely fortunate you might add surfing to the list as well. These are great because they are fun, can be done in groups, and you can talk while you’re doing them. It makes a huge difference in how well the date goes if you’re able to talk while you’re on your date.

Spend the day at the zoo. The zoo isn’t the only place that will do. Aquariums, museums, and art shows are other great choices to consider for impressive first date materials. Build on what you know the two of you have in common to find the perfect solution for your first date and make sure that wherever you go for your first you plan to have fun.
