To help take some of the stress out of what to do or where to go for your first date, we have made a list of our top 10 first date ideas to give you some help. 

Read on!

1. Grab a coffee (or any other drink)

If you don’t have to have lots of time, a quick coffee date could be a great way to start! Even just 30 minutes is plenty of time to grab a coffee or milkshake together! 

2. Get some food

There is a reason that a dinner date (or breakfast, lunch or dessert!) is a popular choice for a first date. It is an easy way to find common ground by sharing your favourite food…and everyone has to eat, right?! Maybe you really like pasta and they love pizza – hey, you both love Italian food! That sounds like a connection to us! 

3. Go for a walk

There are plenty of first dates that don’t cost any money at all- like going for a walk in your local park. You can casually stroll around the park, find a seat to talk, or smell flowers and notice the wildlife. 

4. Watch a movie

This could be at the cinema or at your house, but it is a nice way to see how you feel when you are with them. Do you feel comfortable or do you want to leave? 

5. Visit the zoo

One of our favourite animals at Cliq Connection are flamingos! They are so cool! Going to the zoo together would be a great way to show your date your favourite animals and learn about other animals. 

6. Enjoy sports

So, you both love AFL – duh! You could go and watch your home team play (at the stadium or on telly) or what about a tour of your local stadium? I bet they have lots of fun facts to learn! 

7. It’s game time!

Don’t let a rainy day get you down. Dig out your board games and get competitive! Whether it is monopoly, hungry hippos or uno, there are plenty of games to keep you occupied and entertained. 

8. Get arty 

Have you been to your local art gallery? There are so many talented people in your area, go and support them together. You can become an art critic for an afternoon and pick your favourite painting or sculpture.

9. Listen to music

Wait a minute? You both like Keith Urban? No, hang on, it was Dua Lipa wasn’t it? Well, whoever you like to listen to, share your music tastes with your date. Better still, if your favourite band or musician are in town, go and see them live. 

10. Cyber date

Maybe meeting in person feels too much to get started. And that is totally ok! Thankfully, we have incredible technology like Skype and Zoom that make meeting stress free. You can still share some of your favourite things, just virtually. 

Hopefully you have a few ideas from our list about where to go, or what to do on your first date. And a lot of these ‘date’ ideas can still be used even if you’re only meeting a friend- we go out for lunch with our friends all the time! 

Good luck (not that you will need it)! Remember how awesome and unique you are, and whether it leads to a second date or not, just enjoy the ride.
