Actually Good First Date Ideas To Instantly Break the Ice (8 of 9)

Culinary Tours

An idea that would take a little bit of set-up is a culinary tour. The idea is visiting a local restaurant and ordering an appetizer. Then once you’re done, visit another restaurant and order another appetizer. Not only is it fun, but also gives you a sense of your date’s food tastes.

Try Dessert-Hunting

Making it a task to find the best dessert spot in town can be exciting for people. Ask for small sampling of desserts and make a small talk while waiting. If your date is nervous about one-on-one stuff, you can look to booking cupcake tours or something similar.

Trampoline Parks

Trampolines are pretty fun regardless of how old you are. It’s for this reason these types of indoor parks are popping up everywhere. Take advantage of them.

Visit Swing Dance Classes

A playful way to engage, get exercise and learn how to move together as a couple. Even if your dancing skills are bad or rusty, learning new skills is a way to gauge compatibility together.

Volunteer

While not as romantic, there are definitely some good feelings to be had here. Volunteer work can also draw out people’s own morals and values too by how they interact with others, whether they can adapt or need structure or even if they’re willing to talk to someone outside of their social circle.
