Man I'm just trying to figure out how this guy's mall has everything.
I know it sounds amazing, the only thing in my area is a bunch of shops
@@cathalmp Exactly what I was thinking lmao
The guy said he lives in New York I imagine their are some pretty sizable malls in a city of that magnitude
For real lol
@@TexasCCLP I live in New York and can confirm my mall is not like his haha
Cooking a meal together (at your or their place) has proven to be an absolute S tier move for me over the years. Usually as a 2nd or 3rd date but with people youâve known for a short while but never dated it also works as a first date!
excactly, with some nice jazz/RnB music in the background then watching a show/movie and then making deserts or something just works perfectly
Def better at your place
It also serves as a nice reason to invite her to your place without telling her your real intentions lol.

Drunk baking
Personally my favorite first date idea is thanksgiving dinner with my entire extended family. That way we can build rappor when my uncle asks when we are getting married.
Thatâs a little too far đ
@@fillo1762 no its perfect
Then u find out she's a 304... Vet better. Create a better process.

Lolol
I tried all of these ideas, it was awesome. They said they need at least two people for escape room tho...
Wait a minute
My man...
I had to read three times
Bruhhh đ€Łđ€Ł
I'd join u next time brah
Every date Is a S+ if you know How to chat. I literally had lots of fun on a date in a pharmacy hahaha
Facts đŻ
Thing is, not everyone can do that.
@@iejaculatefire8958 well, that's not something a place can do for those people. If someone is boring or have bad communication, the best dates ideas won't make someone more pleasant to be with.
One has to be confortable with itself before being confortable around others. If that Is still a problem, maybe theraphy is a waay better idea than the mall.
@@monkbrain3581 LMFAO THAT USERNAME
Ditto this!
How I started with my current wife of 13 years:
1st date: Invited her over/played video games
2nd date: 7-day Alaskan Cruise
3rd date: Movies/Applebees
4th date: Salsa dance lesson
5th date: Disney World
Yea idk how I pulled that off either.
Damn
Hahahhahahha
Cruise on a second date is wild, W boyfriend
Damn she mustâve beaten FF7 that night for you to take her on a cruise.
That is a whirlwind of dates
There is no such thing as a date that isn't fun "anymore". Some date ideas are better than others for first dates, but if you're dating someone with a personality that you enjoy, even the mundane becomes exciting simply because of their presence. I could spend the rest of my life in a padded room with white walls if I got to be with my girlfriend. Just being around her is the most memorable part of every experience we have.
nah it gets boring doing nothing after some time
wake up and break up
@@JAKE-ng8yr fr
Truth it do get boring we were staying home all the time had fun but became depressed and distant still went out just no where near as much as we shouldâve fun experiences make life beautiful ruined a beautiful relationship in the process
The Immaculate Room
I find that mini golf is the best first date. It's fun, low commitment, casual, friendly competition, everyone has done it at least once before, and if they haven't it's real easy to learn. There is a little bit of competition, but most of the holes are silly or have a gimmick so it keeps competition low intensity.
I had some bad experiences with it. Had 3 dates with girls that were absolutely horrible in minigolf and got very angry when they lost. On the other hand, I knew I didnt want to see them again thanks to thatđ
@@raymonddeathfire832how can you get that mad mover minigolf
@@xavier440x I have no idea bro, some chicks are crazy.
@@raiderxskull What do you mean with "higher commitment"? Something more exciting, like Skydiving?
That surely is not for everyone
Only problem is that mini golf isn't popular in some countries
Bouldering together + going for a drink afterwards has proven to be S tier for me. If you usually climb, it makes you feel comfortable since you are doing something you are used to. And there is plenty of time for chatting between attempting routes.
How much of prior experience would you need? Like for example I tried climbing a few time so still barely know anything and I imagine a lot of people haven't tried it at all before.
@@namespace977 even a couple months would be enough. By that time you would probably be doing much harder routes than a beginner could (looks pretty cool from the outside). Knowing the place and people there also helps since then you also show that you are social, which happens rather easily in that atmosphere. In my case its been years but its all about having fun, chatting, and encouraging your date to try something fun
Why not spice it up and drink before going bouldering? đ€Ł
as a boulderer thats facts
@@valenciasantos8236 depending on where you are you do both at the same time
My first date with my partner was in late June back in 2018. Initially, I was going to leave because she was taking a bit to get ready (got used to it). We went out to our local pizza spot which we grew to become huge wing lovers. After our date, I decided to take her to the park up until the sun went down. We had walked up to a private part of the park where we sat on the train tracks. I can still remember the feeling of her head leaning on my left shoulder as the sunset thinking âthis feels niceâ. Something I hadnât felt for a long time. Love her more to this day.
Damn wat a day to remember
Damn such contact on a first date is awesome
man itâs so cute story, hope u will be fine forever
I had a similar experience recently. We met up at the local train station and walked around in the city and just talked. After that, I took her to a nice mountain (not that big at all but still great view) from like 10pm to 4am (yes, 4am đ) and the rain was POURING down. I sat there with her head on my shoulder and thought âwow, I really havenât felt this happy in a whileâ.
We chatted a lot on that mountain. Later, we just looked at each other as I then leaned in for the kiss while she met my lips. Best feeling Iâve had so far đ (Iâm only 15). A week passed along with two more dates and now she barely texts back⊠I honestly donât know what I did wrong; maybe she just wanted to have some fun and not a relationship?
My friend has a girlfriend for almost 6 months nowâŠ
A lot of the bigger asks could be feasible, as first dates; *IF* you have a preexisting relationship: youâve been coworkers for years, you been in the same group for years, etc.
But is it ok to date coworkers
@@kevinlow69420 if you donât have a contract that says otherwise⊠but I also wouldnât mess with married people or people with kids
â@@kevinlow69420 just be sure that's the one. because news flies like rapid-fire in the workplace.
@@kevinlow69420I mean it is, but I personally donât recommend it. What happens if the two of you breakup? Is one of you going to switch jobs? Because if not, it is going to be really awkward seeing them at work.
@@imscaryskeleton5446 imagine the drama
Ice skating is absolute Double S tier. The light touching and fun and room for conversation is just great.
Unless you suck as much as I do at it đą
@@adanalyst6925 just go a couple times and really focus on improving. When I've gone with people who are awful they improve a lot just over an hour
â@@adanalyst6925 nah being bad makes it even funnier. I am really bad at it but you can laugh about it together and there is more physical contact (helping the bad person up or balancing)
My engineering teacher would take his dates to the car wash three dates in a row and if they make it to the third date it meant they were willing to put up with his BS
Bet he didn't spread much seed.
@@GreenLifeOmaha_GLO 9 bucks at most đ
That would be kind of funny on the first date but doing that again is just annoying lol. After a third time you're just pissing people off
Engineering teachers are just all round jerks
@@jztvchannel8684 oh definitely half our class time wasnât even spent learning. It was more spent learning life advice. I genuinely believe he requested his class to be that long from higher ups for that reason but didnât tell them why.
On my first date I only do something which costs nothing or very little. For instance, walk in the park or bird feeding. Good activities to get to know one another in a relaxed setting. Also filters out people who only seek a free lunch
Yes no need to do an expensive dinner on a first date
If people had the time during the day, obviously a brilliant idea but never in the dark, gives off creepy vibes.
@@aarontimothy1184 Damn, I thought my idea of walking in dilapidated park at midnight was perfect.
He did mention nyc and in nyc it's great. Nyc parks are very illuminated. The only issue can be weather, since part of the year is too cold
@@rickson50 kinda why I only ever date spring-autumn. Never dated anyone in winter times
You forgot the sisyphus boulder date. It does take a lot of time and energy, but it is very fun and your date is now fated to doing the same activity together with you 4ever
đđđđ
I personally prefer the Atlassian sky holding date â€
Dante would say that. But Im down to it
**furiously takes notes**
**realises that I have no dates**
**continues to take notes for future use**
Iâm writing a story and need date ideas for characters. Iâve never been on a date so this is easier
My dates go like
1. I take her to a date
2. She says: please let me go
3. I leave
May peace be upon you

amusement park/fair is an S tier for me. Obv it's a bigger time commitment which means it's harder to pull off but if you're a conversationalist, aren't scared of rides, and can win her a prize, you're golden.
Pretty solid.
First date I ever went on and took my dream girl on was climbing the scaffolding of my roof.
She said it was the perfect date, just not with the right person and yeah...
DamnâŠ

I feel like this is very American-oriented. Sadly for me, here in the rural Netherlands we don't have malls with laser tag, trampoline parks or other non-shopping activities. Also, camping in the wild is forbidden in the entire country.
The list is quite extensive though and I got a lot of great tips out of it!
Here in Brazil in most cities we can't do half of his ideas, unfortunately. The city I live has no beautiful and secure enough park. It has no significant museum. No Crafting nor Cooking class. And we would need to travel to other far away cities to be able to: ice skating, camping, canoeing, amusement parks etc.
invite your date to a pannenkoekenhuis, and if the person doesn't want to go insult them with "jouw muda neukt voor geld maar pijpt voor het plezir"
Ga lekker naar een museum of park en nu met de wintertijd ergens schaatsen
right? in rural areas we only have the central plaza, ice cream, bars and snacks. I've only seen laser tag on movies
Thereâs a mall in BodĂž with laser tag haha
Never dinner. Sit at the bar next to each other, NEVER across (feels like a job interview). It makes eye contact intentional instead of required. And you can use subtle touches to flirt and engage
the difficult thing is to find a bar where you can sit side by side without looking strange or getting in the way
@@mitch9651 difficult thing is that mindset. The goal is to play the entire thing aloof and not care if it goes against the grain of a typical date. Make fun of the fact that it looks strange, with her. Bond over it and show that it doesnât bother you and youâre cool
@@michaelmartin3975 more tips please!
Never say never
This is the biggest BS ever, youâre just socially awkward pal. Diner works for almost everybody and it has done so for decades
I think this would have been better if it was divided into first dates vs relationship dates, cuz they both require different things and the tierlist isnât consistent because of that
The best dates are when you combine multiple date ideas, you can even change plan's depending on how it goes!
For example, each step could be:
- start at a bar and talk casually for about an hour
- move location to a more active place like bowling, minigolf ...
- move from an active place to a more chill bar with mood lights and lounge chairs
- depending on the mood, go to a place where you can dance together
- invite her to your place for a last drink, Mario Kart, cuddles ...
This way you'll have a great night and learn to know each other by being in a lot of different scenarios!
If you feel like the dating is going nowhere, just end it after a step, no need to go the entire night.
This looks like a $200+ date đ
@Rusty Grove well obviously do stuff within budget! I usually budget 50 euro for a night out and always offer to pay. My date can cover next round if she wants we always end up alternating who pays. Also start you date after dinner saves a lot on food cost.
@ricardo rivera agreed. i'd feel uncomfortable if someone was overzealous and started inviting me to place after place. just my thoughts though
@@XArthieX no way iâm spending that kind of money in 1 date
Wow. My last girlfriend and I did a LOT of the stuff on this list. Only things we didnât do was beach, clubbing, water park, cooking class, pottery class, painting class. We did so many different dates and Iâve made so many memories, but we arenât together anymore. This video really just made me remember almost every date i went on with her. I should call her.
What happen between yall if it was going so smoothly?
I would like to know to? My current girl is going AWESOME, and would HATE to lose her. So may I ask what happened?
@@lordbola2162 Truth be told, she never got over her ex. She's with her ex now. It is what it is, sadly. She gave me the whole "you're such an amazing guy, any girl would be so lucky to be with you" etc etc.. And here i am 3 years later, havent been on a date since haha.
@@jbeverything4159 I replied above.
@@MrLeva115 aw damn bro đą so she was still talking to her ex while she was with you bro? That's fucked up, I wouldn't be able to heal on that quickly if that was me but you seem chill. So don't call her and find another girl who is over her ex next time. Goodluck bro đ
Dates are very hard during winter where you can't really make use of some of the great outdoor activities.
Depends on where you live
I'd go to a light festival or look at ice sculptures, stuff like that
Yeah, for me is kinda doble edged sword, if it is really cold, skin to skin apeal becomes really hard, and also, (maybe is just my problem hahah), it is way harder to me to feel horny and motivated, I hate cold temperatures... But on the other hand, if everything goes smooth, it is way better, you try to find each one is heat, the winter activities such as ice skating, eating something, also drinking ahjaah, becomes wonderful and unique, and the best part, u can go to the other one is place, to get in heat. If this happens, it is way better than a summertime love.
As a frugal student who is currently dating I feel that hard. I currently have a first date planned where we will dress warm enough to take a walk together and I'll bring some hot Punch and mugs and a blanke to sit on a bench and drink (I would have suggested muled wine if he drank alcohol). Hope that goes well :)
If you are in NY, definitely not
personally i'd say mini-golf is S-Tier as it's a great first/second date idea while also being something fun you can do at any point in the relationship. but great list overall!
My Fatcats has a mini golf inside of it so I could combine arcade/bowling/mini golf if I wanted to for a date. I just need a date đ
i went to topgolf with my bf on one of our earlier dates and it was full of laughs and stuff bc i couldnât hit the ball most of the time đ. But it was definitely still fun and i got to learn something new so definitely an S tier
My favorite date idea is going to grab coffee for the first few, then going to an amusement park, since I almost always have a season pass to one, and it also tests their fear limits. If you can get your date to step outside their comfort zone and experience a more intense roller coaster, (or any at all) it builds an even stronger connection because they almost always end up having a ton of fun on it
Straight facts. Just did this myself at six flags during holiday in the park. She was positive she wasnât getting on the first ride. After I convinced her she wanted to ride them all đ
â@@FilmerStevie did she want to ride you as well?
Thanks, this looks like a great video! Only problem for me is actually getting the dates to happen, everyone always seems to cancel last minute
Means you got flaky dates. Don't waste time on them then.
@@archangel323118 yup, if they didn't had a genuine reason then you should probably move on, otherwise you are only wasting your time on a lost cause
LOL
let me guess, you use a dating app?
@@jonathanmeeks6031 Iâm a high school student, ask people out over snap/text
Me : *Saves video knowing I'll never be on a single date in my life*
@@goodsoup1035yeah who knowsđ€
You miss every shot you don't take.
Put in the effort to get one, and you'll eventually get it.
@@dorianburger3300 Seriously, _who_ knows?
With that mindset you wonât
I always choose Inviting them over for second date. Try cooking together and playing board games its perfect.
watching this knowing damn well I'm not going on a date any time soon
yea same
This is an amazing video with impeccable timing. Thank you!!
I personally think going to the movies is an appropriate way to end a first date. If the first date is going well and enough rapport has already been built, you could ask them on a whim if there is any movie they currently want to see (and usually there is one). Extremely easy way to make the date last a few extra hours instead of cutting it short and going home.
Cinema is the worst idea ever. Cut it short so she wants more of you if she's interested.
Can confirm cooking together is an S tier idea. We did lasagna for her familiy and we enjoyed every second of it.
Edit 10 months later: It wasn't a first date, just one i loved.
a pre-requisite for that is that you're at least decent at cooking lol
Bro I invited her over for lunch and I cooked carbonara with her help. Only to find out she had a boyfriend already. Bruh
@@prod_revo Im sorry bro đ
you met her family for a first date? lol
@@onmywayup94I would believe this was not the first date, but his wording does indicate the oppositeâŠ
Me and my girlfriend got ice cream and walked around the park. Then we simply just drove around parts of the town weâve never seen and talked while I drove us as she didnât have her license. It was amazing and we talked for hours while also showing each other what music we listen to. Definitely recommend this! đ
imo camping is absolutely an S+ tier date. it's defiantly not something you can do off rip, but it puts people in a relatively controlled, but uncomfortable situations, and can build a lot of trust and cooperation . most people find it hard to keep up a facade when they're tired, hungry, and dirty. it really gives you a chance to see their true personality. are they one to jump in and help, or do they just sit back and wait for other people to do it? how did their attitude change? was is a struggle to find things to talk about? for me personally it's an absolute requirement at least once < 1 yr into a relationship.
never seen a case of defiantly in the wild before
I appreciate you actually taking the time to make this!
While I would definitely place certain things in other spots based on my experience, I love all the ideas and outside input! Thanks for the video!
These date ideas are also kind of great for doing them on your own to so something new in life. Thank you much
For me going in to a museum with a date is absolute S tier, since when you live in a smaller city it can be very private but also you can see if the other person enjoys it since I personally love to go to museums and therefore would like to do it with this person in the future.
And you can flex with your knowledge
Dude your artwork is iconic! Just by seeing it I know its Improvement Pill.
Keep it up đ
rooftop/stargazing is complete S tier like sure it shouldnt be the only thing you do but if you do it i think its a signal the date was a success
I'd like to see this discussed from the perspective that it's important to be intentional about seeing someone in many different environments to find out what kind of person they really are. Dates are partly for building rapport and having fun, but also for learning more about the person. Escape room goes up in rank.
One aspect that didn't really get mentioned/considered was how much future conversation each date can generate after the fact. It's surprising movies, crafting a lot of shared activities didn't make it to higher tiers when they literally give you and your date something to discuss after the date is done (what parts of the movie you like, what parts of the activity did they find trouble with, etc.)
The mall is only really nice if there really are activities besides shopping. A mall date can quickly turn boring if neither of you are impulse buyers and browse around without ever buying anything, but it can build a TON of rapport if you two end up buying matching items.
This is super true. Do stuff together so you have stuff to talk about later!
came for dateideas, leave with lots of stuff to do with the boys
Better idea than going for a massage:
You and your partner can learn to massage yourselves. It's something you can improve over the years and it's intimate too. Much better than getting a massage from a stranger.
Imagine proposing this idea as a first date

@@derblaue LOL IM SAYINNNN
The best date I ever went on was where we played board games at a friend's house. It was great because we could stay an hour or three, we could have food if we wanted, and there was TONS of opportunity to talk. It was fun to learn a game that they taught me and then joke with and challenge each other.
On my first date we got drunk at a restaurant, made out in a movie theater, then I met her mom when I dropped her off at the end of the night. Our 1 year anniversary is coming up soon.
[He recommends malls because they weren't extinct when he was dating]
@@ImprovementPillbecause most malls in the states are in the middle of nowhere next to freeway systems which already makes it harder to get there and also the aspect of online shopping. The most profitable malls in the states (in most cases) are in large metro areas with high walkability or at least near the city. I imagine most malls in Asian countries are in walkable places which is why they continue to thrive there.
a summary of the top dates, at the end, wouldâve been nice
Just take the top of the tier list bruv
Getting married is the most weird experience I've ever had so far. At first everything is new and exciting, breakfast in bed is like WOW so romantic, but now I cook for him practically everyday, we went to the mall COUNTLESS times, we got so bored of it (same for going out for dinner, watching movies, goingo to a cafe). Our town doesn't have a lot of things to do but OMGOSH this video gave me so many new ideas that I could try here! Thank you SO MUCH, this is exactly what I needed!
My favorite first date was taking this guy Iâd been casually talking to on a dating app to the emergency room after he got in a car accident. Weâre engaged now.
is this even real?
So romantic!
@@Angelux31 everything on the internet is real !
Bowling and then a walk in the park is my favorite first date, if itâs awkward you can leave after the bowling, they dont know where you live, its public so very safe, easy to get more touchy if you get chemistry and easy to not be to awkward cause you have some activity in between throwing the ball, lots of talking in between in addition to food and drinks.
Furiously taking notes every second of this video and coming back to it every once in a while
I invited her over for the first date last night. Cooked her dinner, and watched a movie. Thatâs a walking W if you can pull it off
If you own a vehicle that takes some skill to operate, you can have a little day trip if there is A LOT of mutual trust. This includes riding on a motorcycle, boat, plane, and for our sigma males⊠forklift đ
Interesting time-sensitive note: Post-lockdown, there are actually a lot of "locals" who have become adults and gained more freedom to explore their city... during the lockdown. Exploring our city that we've lived in for 3 years has been a really nice experience for my significant other and I. I think it bumps up the local tour idea up a tier.
Exploration is super fun imo. If only more girls could enjoy it moreâŠ
Would love a video like this with online or app meeting for the first time on a first date, its basically the same as this video but you need to add safety into the mix, your meeting a stranger and until you meet and see each other u dont even know if the person you talked to is the person they say they are. Would love to hear your opinion on how to make a first date feel safe and fun for those that meet using an app or blind date.
just don't use these stupid apps
I'd avoid anything that either includes alcohol or going to someones place. Public spaces like parks, cafés or the mall should be fine.
@@derblaue yeah this pretty much. Just anywhere thatâs public is fine for âappâ dates. And no pressure to drive together or anything. If you or the date is still nervous at that point, you just shouldnât be using those apps
Thanks, i love your channel đ it helped me so much đ„°
"Do not think, however, that because you have had an experience of recognition that relationship is instantaneous or guaranteed. Relationship is based upon what you can do together in life.
The major factor for true relationship is greater compatibility. Greater means that it is larger than the idea of compatibility that is generally assumed. It means that you are compatible in your natures. It does not necessarily mean that you are compatible in your judgments, evaluations and preferences, for these are things on the surface of your mind. Greater compatibility means that the deeper you go together, the greater the resonance between you.
(...)
Greater compatibility must be discovered through action, time and challenge. Indeed, as you face challenge together, your compatibility grows deeper and deeper. It is not exhausted or eliminated, but it must be supported. This provides the foundation for love to emerge.
Relationships of this kind are not common. Do not think you can have them with many people. You can experience recognition with many people, but greater compatibility in physical life is something that is more specific. It has to do with your calling in life, which leads you in specific ways to meet specific people for specific purposes. Your calling is mysterious, yet there is nothing in life that is more powerful, more engaging and more relevant to all of your needs."
A quote from - *_Wisdom from the Greater Community, Book 1 » Chapter 12_* - a free online book by Marshall Vian Summers.
Thanks a lot!
I agree with your rankings, well thought out. Minigolf is one of my favorites for a second date. I've been sleeping on ice skating all these years but just recently went and would like to use it. Hiking is an idea you missed, but living in NYC doesn't really have much of that. I live in CO so that's more popular, as well as an activity like skiing. However those all all high commitment and only after a lot of trust us built.
For me personally I find:
First date:
Dinner with nice atmosphere but still somewhat casual.
Second date: Food again, but keep it quicker and more fun so you have time for an activity like minigolf or ice-skating. If you have shared interests like crafting or climbing I say go for it.
Third: Zoo, hike, some sort of event that requires more commitment
Fourth: Movie, Cooking together, Invite them over
And so on
This isnât a first date specificallyâŠ. But a few years back my fiancĂ© and I went ice skating and were so terrible at it. We decided to make it a weekly date to go to our rink and skate for an hour or so. (It also ended up being a great workout for me haha). Over time we got better and now we can hold our own pretty well. Iâm sure classes would have been fun too, but it was also really fun to slowly learn together, on our own!
yay 43 things to do by myself
hahaa
Damn đ đ
I don't like the Escape room being so high because in my experience, they require a team of 4+ people, which could be fun for a double date or something, but that's much later on.
What I learned from this is that... if I get invited for coffee or a meal to start... don't get stuck at just that one spot. I should be asking my date if we want to go get food or do some other activity. And I wonder why I don't ever get a second date even if the convo went somewhat well.
Me watching in âSINGLEâ đ đ
At least I can prepare for when Iâm not single!! đ

thank you very much for your service
Thank you
An escape room is my favorite thing to do and I really want it for a first/second date
Perfect timing!!
Going on dates and falling in love is so fun đ
It is?
You say âfalling in loveâ like itâs just a casual thing you do oftenđ
Oh man, I have lots of fear. I cant imagine going in a date
Going for a movie give both of you so easy topic after watching it to talk about.
Dance classes are wayyyy to underrated. Think about it:
You can do it at any time in the relationship, you can stop and redo it at any time, you learn to be both confident and comfortable in your own body, you get to bond more with your partner both physically and mentally than with anything else and much more. Bonus points if you're doing it for a while and you can just invite your partner to the dance floor.
As a rock climber I will say itâs more of a 6+ dates kind of thing. Especially if you can belay them. Belaying them will give a sense of trust between the two of you, as their life is literally in your hands. It also shows that you can be supportive for them if they are scared of heights or canât get that far on the wall.
This comment made me remember thereâs other kinds of rock climbing than just indoor rock climbing
Bringing them over for "Netflix and chill" has been the goat for me
Thanks for all the ideas, man!!!
Currently one of my biggest issues is weather. Winter in South Dakota is brutal, being outside really isn't an option.
In that case see if she wants to lie down in your bed for a bit. Because most people have lots of Pillows and blankets you can keep warm in the chilly months and since your in bed you can try to insert your body into their body. Definitely s-tier date idea
Offer to mash each others bodies with one another to generate heat at your place
I feel like this is a very american centric video, especially when it comes to malls. In many countries it's much nicer to walk around outside in a city, instead of being stuck inside of a mall, just think of Venice, Paris, Amsterdam, ...
Also I'm very surprised climbing and festivals/raves are included, and I love it.
Outdoor climbing is a great activity when you have the equipment and are climbing with someone who has some experience and know for a while. I did it with my gf some months ago, she's never climbed outdoors and while she was a bit afraid, she really enjoyed it, even when doing easy routes.
Raves are great if both of you love the same music. These usually last for quite some time (6h+), so you basically have to take breaks in between, where you can talk and whatnot. Bonus points if both are taking molly, that's gonna bring both of you close very fast lol
And as a Brazilian, I can say that beach date is the most common date in more coastal countries, such as Oceania and North American countries.
Mall dates are honestly a lot of fun. In America at least where I live they're are a lot of outdoor (outlet malls) with shopping areas, food/snack vendors/food trucks, scenic spots, and play areas.
Thanks for the ideas! I've never dated and am excited to get out there.
Psychologically speaking, first dates should involve you and the other person facing in the same direction instead of across from each other at a table (too much pressure, like an interview).
Any suggestions on ways to gracefully end a first date early when you find your date only talking about themselves? That is what I'm most apprehensive about as a recovering people pleaser :)
Man I could not focus enough on the video every Idea you gave I had like a mini film In my head on how It would go
My favourite thing to do with my girlfriend is to go for a joyride. Especially in the summer during the golden hours / sunset. Everything looks amazing (including you and your date) in the sunset, exploring roads that you usually Don't travel is great fun, and although you are focused on driving a bit you get to talk to each other and putting on music you both love can be great for conversation. If you have a car, find a spot where you can park and see the sunset that's pretty/romantic and then go on a joyride together ending there (combine it with a picnic from the trunk of your car for bonus points)
Great list, though I don't agree with the comedy show placement :) Me and my girlfriend went to an open mic comedy club on our first date and it was too much fun! You always have something to talk about, you can joke together and see if your sense of humor aligns with theirs and it's easy to follow up with drinks. I'm definitely going to use some other ideas though, thanks!
Me and my partner have an online relationship and so far we have been together for almost 3 years! We've never met before but we will make sure to try out every idea in this video and more! Thanks for the video
Oh my⊠so howâs it going xx
@TheCommandant-wb9tv It's really nice, thanks! We both feel the happiest together and we got to meet once, making sure now we can get even more chances to meet up đ
Got a few ideas from here since I'm just getting back into dating so thanks
Dude couple dance class is just s+ . I recommend it so much, girl is gonna be amazed. You don't have to try hard and focus only on dancing
Love the collection and your thoughts man! Parks with swings and ponds are all you need! (At first.)
awesome video, lots of great ideas
surprised there was no picnic or something similar
Feel like that only works in movies XD
me and my girlfriend met rock climbing and our first official date was just sitting in a coffee shop and doing coloring books, any date can be amazing if itâs with the right person
When I lived in NYC, best date idea, when I was low on cash was the literary walking tour of the village. Basically a self guided walking tour of Greenwich Village where you go by famous writers houses like Washington Irving, Louise May Alcott, and Edgar Allen Poe. That one always worked well. Cheap too!
Step 1: Find a date
Step 2: Fuck up before 1st date happens
Step 3: Repeat
Step 4: Use knowledge from this video
Woah that's when i realised i'm doomed
When i saw the title i didn't understand what was the video about and i was like:
Oh a unique date tier list ! like March 34 ?/ February 30th ?...
The most American thing is going to a mall on a dateđđ
As a European I never even thought of such idea for a date lmao
I'm not American but Mall dates has worked out pretty well for me in this other side of the world
Most American thing would be going to a gun range on a date
@@Doffel Or just directly to a school.
The only reason people do mall dates in America is because American cities are poorly designed and often boring so the mall ends up being the only walkable hangout spots
THIS IS A TREASURE TROVE instant sub, im 20 years old & I wish I had someone breaking this down as formally as this when I was a teen, take notes lover boys, this guy knows what he's talking about
As another 20 year old looking at getting into the dating scene, best of luck to us both!
I've lost my dates as I'm 20. Man is broke!
I would argue on the spot in which some of the date ideas are placed, but that aside, this is a great collection of ideas to chose from.
Park+Food=Picnic one of my favourites, location could be changed to beach, rivershore, other
Tried most of these and honestly I have the best luck with ice skating. It is such a fun way to get to know someone and have laughs at the same time. I generally pretend I'm bad at skating so they don't feel pressured and can laugh at me a bit lol
How about dating for teens or like college students? like considering the budget, time and restrictions or limitations of younger people (like me)
My first date with my girlfriend was skipping class to donate blood. We had pizza with my family and a friend afterwards.
My second date with my girlfriend was skipping class to go to the park for a picnic. It was my birthday.
My third date with my girlfriend was at my house. She had dinner with us.
Lastly, my fourth date with my girlfriend was at my house, when my folk were in a trip. It was just the two of us, and I asked her to be my girlfriend.
We've been together for almost 15 months.
weird
@@samu-chan whatâs weird about it?
When this is on your recommended you know something needs to change.
I mean idk man I got a gf
honestly, as a 16 year old boy, i have brought mostly every girl to the movies as the first date, its perfect, it might not build âtalkingâ rapport, but it just gets u guys comfortable with being in close contact with each other, and then when u throw cute gestures in the mix, offering popcorn, slowing waving a bite sized pretzel in front of them etc, it works even better. now my movie theater is in a mall, which gives us a place to walk around, and if ur in the same situation, WALK AROUND, dont just sit in one place, mess around in a store, make them laugh
i was waiting for him to say âand the waterpark is so convenient cause itâs usually in the mallâ
