Planning a first date can be stressful, but we’re here to make it a little easier for you with a list of 16 fun first date ideas in NYC.
First dates are stressful. For the most part, a first date determines whether two people will experience a second and third date, and so on. So, for the person planning the first date, the ball’s in their court determining the best kind of outing. For the planner, it helps to at least know a few things about the other person, as you can really get some brownie points for planning something around their interests. However, if you’re still in that stage of getting to know each other, lunch or dinner will always make a solid first date. Everyone has to eat! But make sure you at least do a little research on the restaurant as to not pick a dud — that would be embarrassing. While I’ve had some fun first dates over a meal, it’s nice to do something different. For instance, one of my first date’s was at a museum exhibit, which is interactive, but a good way to strike up interesting conversation.

Regardless of where you decide to go for a first date, you both have a lot at stake. The memory of that date will last a very long time, perhaps your and your significant other’s entire lifetime (that is, if the relationship doesn’t end up being short-lived). So, yeah when it comes to first dates things are pretty important. You must do everything within your power to make it as pleasant and as romantic as possible.
