5 Fun First Date Ideas

Congratulations!

You connected on Tinder, or Bumble, or StumbleBumble, or StumbleBumbleRumble.

Whatever.

You’ve smooth talked your way into a first date.

Where to go? What to do? Try these ideas.

Poetry Reading at the Bowling Alley

Write a fun, light poem for your date, then run out onto a bowling alley and keep reading it loudly. You have to dodge the oncoming balls by leaping from lane to lane.

Play Board Games

Chances are good your date hasn’t played a board game since junior high. Many cities have board game cafes where you can borrow the games and play for an hour. Try the games “Serial Cheater” and “Everyone is Single Outside a 100-Mile Radius of Home.”

Palm Reading

Sure, it would be fun to get your palm read. Why stop there. Push that lady aside, put on the head gear and robe, and start telling people their future. Chances are good you will be more accurate than the real palm reader, and you’ll make some date money in the process.

Go to Ikea

Take your date to IKEA, hide behind some dressers and wait to see if they can make their way back to civilization without calling in a rescue team.

Sing Karaoke on an Airplane

Book a flight to a fun nearby city. On the plane, start singing karaoke as loud as you can. Get the other passengers involved. They will have so much fun, they will carry you out of the plane on their shoulders as they cheer. Then the police will take you away.
