What To Do On The First Date
Some of what to do on the first date is where you do something physical (but not that physical!) are getting more and more popular, and we have a list of great suggestions in our new book on First Dates and making true love appear in your life, called ‘First Date Magic’. In ‘First Date Magic’ we explain that action dates work very well for a couple of reasons.
For one thing, if you’re doing something physical there is often a legitimate excuse for touching your date, say clutching each other in fright on the rollercoaster, or even pushing each other on the swings in the park. This kind of casual, ‘safe’, spontaneous contact helps create a feeling of closeness and intimacy.
The terror inducing rollercoaster ride has another positive benefit too. When you get an adrenalin surge your body responds in a way that’s very like sexual arousal – your pulse rate shoots up and you get flushed and breathless. And it’s very easy to subconsciously confuse it for sexual attraction. Why? – because it’s physiologically almost identical to the first stage of sexual arousal.
The good news for you is that any activity that’s new, fun and exciting can produce this effect – taking a surfing lesson together, indoor rock climbing, ice skating, even eating hot, spicy food, can have similar results! We’ve even heard about an experiment where people met on a bridge high above rushing water. It turned out that they were more attracted to each other than similar people who met elsewhere.
So if you can find a rollercoaster on a bridge, from which you can tandem bungy-jump down to a restaurant serving hot Thai Green curry, we can just about guarantee that your date will fall for you!
Of course you don’t have to stop there, there are limitless ideas on what to do on the first date, and thinking them up can be fun and a great exercise for your imagination.
For inspiration, it pays to keep an eye on the newspaper to see what’s happening in your area. Interesting local events make great First Dates. But nothing makes a First Date great like you do.
