Dating is an essential part of a successful relationship. How you plan your dates is as important as having a perfect partner to share them with. To ensure that you and your beloved are off at the right start and will have many years of blissful union together, take your dating to a next level right at the beginning of your journey together. Date nights will show if the person you are with shares the same values as you and enjoys spending the time on similar activities.
Dating comes in many different forms and can be incorporated into different aspects of your life, not limited only to evening outings. However, diversity is the key, and doing many activities with your significant other will help make your relationship wholesome and build unbreakable closeness between the two of you.
The first step towards creating a strong bond for new Christian couples that just met is going out for a date night. If you struggle to find ideas or want some extra inspiration for activities that both of you can do, are romantic but will leave plenty of time for you two to get to know each other better, then keep reading because this article is just for you.
Candlelit dinner under the stars
While restaurants are fun and offer a great variety of choices, they can also make you feel socially awkward especially when dating someone you like for the first time. Instead of getting all dressed up and wait for an hour for the food to arrive while trying to think of topics to talk about, remove all the unnecessary stress first date brings and opt for something less formal and much more fun. Organize a small picnic dinner in the park instead. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy, a blanket, some snacks, and a candle or two to add to the charm will turn a walk in the park into a memorable date.
Parks are large which will give you enough space to relax and listen to your partner. Such a date will more likely give you a better understanding of the other person, their sense of humor and it will help you learn more about each other.
Ice Skating romance
Want something more outgoing and active, yet an activity that will give you space to chat and get to know each other closer? Then ice skating might be the perfect first date for you. Even if one of you isn’t good at skating, you can have a lot of fun teaching one another the tricks and have a fulfilling evening that will stay in your memory for a very long time.
Sunset and relaxed evening out
If you would rather stand firmly on the ground, then you can pick a spot and watch the sunset together. Take your partner to a nice location that offers splendid views of the evening sky and get there an hour before sunset. You will have time to chat and watch the sun slowly dipping under the horizon. This experience will take you from a couple that just started dating to a couple that feels comfortable with one another and that is here to stay.
Fly a kite together
Everyone loves kites even if they have never flown them before. Trust us on this, it was well tested before. Pick a day with a bit stronger wind, grab a kite and have your partner arrive at the spot. You will have so much fun trying to make that beast stay in the sky. You can even grab a second kite and make all sorts of competitions which will turn a simple date night out into a memorable event.
Visit the planetarium
The cosmos is probably one of the most intimidating yet breathtaking sights we have ever had the chance of experiencing. If you love staring at the Milky Way and locating constellations in the night sky, then why not take your partner on a date in the local planetarium. Stars are not only intriguing but romantic as well and there is something very charming about looking at the infinity above us and sharing it all with a significant someone.
Dating is very individual and the spots depend on many factors, however, with a little bit of creativity you can turn an ordinary date into a night to remember. Find out about your partner's preferences and offer to organize a date that both of you will remember. Throw in a polaroid camera in the mix and you will have a keepsake of the night.
