After joining an online dating site, have you finally met someone you like? If the interest is mutual, then you need to arrange a date so you can finally chat while looking each other in the eye. You have decided to meet each other and have even found a date-free evening, but now the question arises: where do you go? In this article we want to give you some ideas for the 5 best places for a first date.

Coffee at a club

One of the most popular options for the first date is definitely the classic coffee shop to get something to drink. Usually people opt for a coffee, cappuccino, or any nonalcoholic drink. There are various types of venues, such as bars and pubs, which can be open both during the day and in the evening. Some even offer live music from time to time to create a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. An ice cream parlor is also a great place to have a chat, perhaps after a walk.

Dinner at a restaurant

If you imagine a first date, 9 times out of 10 a restaurant comes to mind. Movies have led us to think that a candlelight dinner at a fancy restaurant is the ultimate in romance, but although it can be an elegant and actually romantic evening, a pizzeria or a less demanding restaurant may also be preferred for a first date, especially for younger people.

Picnic in the park

Depending on the season, then, an alternative to the classic restaurant can be a walk in the park. If there is a green park in your city, you can opt for a quiet afternoon chatting on a bench, or even have a picnic in the open air. Watch the sunset together, or keep each other company during your lunch break.

Visit a museum

The museum is an excellent opportunity to get to know each other better. It is an outing especially appreciated by like minds who know they have special interests in common. The environment is simple and informal and allows you to interact, so wander around the exhibit together and exchange opinions and comments, and most of all have fun.

Walk around town

A walk downtown is exactly what you need to get to know someone without commitment. You can meet in the city, take a walk, talk about this and that, and then take your leave at any time. A walk allows you to decide the time and manner of the date, things not totally controllable in other cases, such as a movie at the cinema.


The first date is crucial, because it is often instrumental in deciding on subsequent outings. As a first thing, remember that you are going on a date with another person, and it is therefore good to discuss together where to go and also listen to his or her advice and opinion. If you plan to arrange a surprise and take care of everything, however, don't worry too much. A pizza, a movie, a walk along the beach, or even something more fun and original (The 5 Funniest and Most Unusual Ideas for a First Date)... If you are found to be compatible on the dating platforms, there are several chances that your interests coincide and the date will go swimmingly.
