Why not swap the movie theatre for the … well, theatre, for a slightly more original take on the traditional date.<\/p>\n
Not very many of us are fortunate enough to get to the theatre very often, so this makes it a truly special occasion.<\/p>\n
Contrary to some misconceptions, the theatre trip is not just for the intellectual elites, as nowadays there are a wide range of plays and shows on offer, suiting a variety of different tastes.<\/p>\n
Whether you are a massive fan of opera, or you are a comedy enthusiast, or perhaps you want to see the latest tour by your favourite celebrity, there is truly something for everyone.<\/p>\n
Ticket prices can be fairly reasonable too – depending on how far in advance you book them and where you decide to sit.<\/p>\n
The great thing about the theatre is it is bound to provide plenty for you and your date to talk about, and adds an interesting dimension to your evening.<\/p>\n
Ideally, you want to find out what your partner is interested in, the kind of things they like, and select the show accordingly.<\/p>\n
Museum<\/strong><\/p>\n Or why not do something a little different altogether and meet during the day time for a trip to the local museum instead?<\/p>\n A museum trip is in many ways, an educational venture. Regardless of whether you opt to visit the local war museum, or an exhibition dedicated to medical, ancient or music history, it is the ideal environment to discuss your hobbies and interests.<\/p>\n It also gives you both a chance to move around a little, peruse the different displays and chat in a relaxed environment.<\/p>\n Most people do not head down to the museums very often, so once again, it gives you the opportunity to do something unique and a bit out-of-the-box.<\/p>\n If you are planning to visit your local museum, you may also get to learn some interesting facts and tidbits about local history – so you can wow your date and your mates with your impressive knowledge!<\/p>\n Some museums offer guided tours, and also include souvenir shops and cafés, so after you have finished walking around, it provides you with an ideal opportunity to sit down for a nice coffee or purchase some keepsakes afterwards.<\/p>\n The great thing about most museums is that they are either free or charge a very small entry fee, and is therefore a cost-effective solution for those who are a little short on cash.<\/p>\n Art gallery<\/strong><\/p>\n Art galleries change their displays on a regular basis and often have interesting exhibitions from local artists.<\/p>\n It may include anything from traditional paintings and sculptures to more interactive exhibitions.<\/p>\n Some displays may even include people, objects, nakedness and sound. The great thing about art is that it can challenge the preconceptions we have about society and our relationship to it.<\/p>\n It is also a very personal endeavour in that we interpret art according to our own personalities and perception, and so you don't have to be well-versed in the world of art to appreciate.<\/p>\n Whatever your feelings regarding the exhibitions on offer, one thing is for certain, it will make for interesting conversation and may even give you a thing or two to think about at the end.<\/p>\n Wine tasting<\/strong><\/p>\n If you have got an inner-drunk within you, why not indulge him or her by going on a wine tasting tour?<\/p>\n Not only do you get a chance to sample some of the newest and possibly the most upmarket wines on offer, it will undoubtedly lighten the mood and, at the very least, take care of the drinks for the evening!<\/p>\n If you are planning on embarking upon a wine tasting venture, why not combine it with a cheese and crackers or chocolate night?<\/p>\n Could there be a more perfect and sumptuous way to spend your time? Knowing what to do on a first date can be challenging for some people. However, if you want to make a good first impression, why not opt for something a little different than the traditional pub meal or movie theatre? Of course, the real key to having a good time is simply to relax, enjoy […]<\/p>\n","protected":false,"raw":"Knowing what to do on a first date can be challenging for some people.
