As hibernation season is over and students are recovering from winter semester by destroying their livers, we can proudly say that we are slowly starting to feel alive again. The weather is getting warmer, patios are finally open and the idea of a summer fling starts to sound appealing. You download dating apps again (because who still has the balls to go straight up to someone and ask them on a date ?...Exactly!) and you start swiping left and right until you find someone decent who checks some of your boxes. (Anyways, you know what's up !) In order to help you guys conquer your Tinderella (could be your Tinderello too. I believe in gender equality!), here is a list of 7 fun first date ideas for those who are single and ready to mingle.
1. Getting Tipsy on a Rooftop
Having a drink on the first date is always a great idea especially if your date turns out to be a catfish. At least, you can drink until they start looking good. (haha jk, jk). Oh, and please don't get 3 bottles... (to know more about this story go read: My Top 6 Biggest Turn Offs on a First Date). Anyways, if you live around the Gatineau-Ottawa are, Andaz is a great place to get a drink while enjoying a breathtaking view. Atari also has a nice rooftop.
2. Laughing Your Asses Off at a Comedy Show
I don't know about you, but I don't know anyone who wouldn't love a good laugh by the end of the week (or just any day in general). I think taking your date out at a local comedy club could be an entertaining and creative activity to do. Absolute Comedy and Yuk Yuk's are two fun places I've been to in Ottawa with some friends and we had a blast each time.
3. Getting Yourselves a Sexy Second Chin at a Dessert Restaurant
Why not use a cheat day and enjoy a delicious cheesecake from Oh So Good! or a tasty strawberry crepe from Cacao 70? Let's be honest, you can never go wrong with sweets. If diabetes is meant to be, then it will be! Another great dessert place I would suggest would be La Catrina. Their churros taste like heaven. OMG YUMM! The latin atmosphere will definitely make your date think your exotic. You can even try to impress them by saying "gracias" to the waitress when she brings your food to the table. (I know, you're welcome)
4. Realizing How Stupid You Are at Escape Manor
Maybe you're smarter than I am, but I've never been able to escape from a room before. However, trying to solve a mystery with your date will definitely allow you to evaluate if she/he is a dumb blond or not. Isn't that great? Seriously talking though, it will be a great way to see if you guys have an intellectual connection.
5. Showing Off Your Flexibility Practicing Yoga on the Hill
If your potential soon-to-be-girlfriend or companion (term used to designate people who are seeing each other but are not ready to commit to a relationship but still act like partners and also might be seeing other people... yeah I know, it's complicated) is an athletic and spiritual person at the same time, attending a Yoga on the Hill event could be a fun first date idea. You can enjoy being outdoors while getting to know each other and low-key check out your date without them noticing.
6. Challenging Each Other at Pool or Bowling
Playing games on a first date is always fun because you guys can laugh about how much you both suck or, if you're a beast at it, you can definitely impress your date with your skills. I'm a fan of pool so I love to see a guy's face when he realizes I'm better than him. However, if your partner isn't really good, you can always try to teach them how to play and I can guarantee you that you'll win some points. Dooley's is a place I would recommend in Ottawa for a great game night and good food.
7. A Walk on the Beach
Okay, I already know what you guys are thinking...BEACH WHERE? (see what I did there? haha) Unfortunately, Canada wasn't blessed with palm trees and hot sand but Mooney's Bay could be a nice place to go for a walk and enjoy the sunset. (I LOVE SUNSETS!) You could also try some kayaking or beach Volleyball if you enjoy physical activities. You guys could also get some gelato to add some sweetness to your date.
I hope I was able to give you guys some fun and enjoyable first date ideas. Please note that Danie's Empire will not be held responsible if your date goes bad or if you have no flirting skills.
Have a good date ! ;)
"Date someone who gives you the same feeling of when you see your food coming at the restaurant and also tags you in memes."
