So you have finally got speaking to a girl you really like and are about to embark upon an exciting and fun date, with a beautiful partner in tow.<\/p>\n

In many ways you have overcome the hardest part of dating – that is, finding someone to go on a date with.<\/p>\n

However, why not make it even more fun by getting creative on your first date?<\/p>\n

We list some fun dating ideas below!<\/p>\n

Dance class<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you both fancy dancing the night away, why not join a dance class? You would be surprised by how many studios and companies offer sessions and tutorials for couples and first timers.<\/p>\n

So do something different with your night and practice some groovy moves together!<\/p>\n

Go karting<\/strong><\/p>\n

Get that adrenaline rush by challenging your date to a go-karting session. Not only is it sure to release the inner child in you, but also takes the edge off a date by allowing you to engage in some light-hearted fun.<\/p>\n

Ice-skating<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ice-skating gives you an excuse to hold onto your other half while gliding along the ice. Even if you spend more time on your back than you do skating around, it is the perfect way to spend an evening in a busy and neutral setting. <\/p>\n

Paintballing<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another great way to spend time with each other is to participate in a paintballing challenge.<\/p>\n

It gives you both a chance to have a good laugh, without taking things too seriously.<\/p>\n

Go for a boat ride<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is hardly anything more romantic than going for a romantic boat ride, and gliding across the river in the backdrop of natural surroundings. There seems to be something quite refreshing about spending time in the great outdoors, appreciating the natural beauty of your surroundings, while enjoying some great company.<\/p>\n

Wine tasting<\/strong><\/p>\n

Or if you fancy a more sophisticated feel to your evening, why not try your hands at wine tasting.<\/p>\n

Not only will it provide you with plenty of beverages for the evening, but it also gives you something to discuss and talk about, while enjoying some great beverages of course!<\/p>\n

Go to an open mic night<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bars, cafés and pubs all over the country will hold regular poetry and open mic nights in which audience members are encouraged to get up on stage and share some poems or songs with the rest of the crowd.<\/p>\n

These events are often fun, friendly and informal,and can provide plenty of entertainment for the evening.<\/p>\n

If you are feeling really brave, you could even get up on stage and share a few lyrics of your own.<\/p>\n

Gigs<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you are a music lover, then why not head to a gig in town that you will both enjoy? There's plenty of choice on offer too.<\/p>\n

Whether you are going down to see a live music band at your local pub, attending a festival or going to a music concert, there are numerous ways to enjoy some music, drinks and entertainment in the company of a promising new date.\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-801793397-ADNFCR\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
