First Date: Dating Activities to Make a Lasting Impression

You could play it safe with the classic �dinner & movie� combo, but if you really want to make a lasting impression and WOW your date, follow these inspiring dating ideas; sure to turn your first date into a second� a third� even a fourth�

Drive-In movie: All the fun of watching a flick on the big screen, but from the privacy of your own intimate love-buggy! No more worrying about PDA (public displays of affection). Just don�t forget to pack some movie snacks, and a blanket for getting cosy with your date.

Dinner Cruise: If you must do dinner, at least this is a classier setting. Set sail aboard an evening cruise for some sparkling harbour views as you wine and dine your lover.

Salsa Dance Class: Grab those dancing shoes and sign up to a night of sexy salsa dancing. Not only will you be up-close-and-personal with your girl for the duration of the class, but you�ll have the chance to impress her with your steamy and sultry dance moves!

Amusement Park: You get to ride the Ferris Wheel together, share a bag of fairy floss, battle other couples at the dodgem cars, get your caricature drawn, and to top it all off� you can win your date a giant plush teddy! What could be more fun?

Roller Skating: Feeling in the mood for some Saturday night fever? Lace-up a pair of skates and roll with the best of them to some groovy retro tunes. If you can�t skate, don�t worry � you�ve got the perfect excuse to grab hold of your partner tight!

Snorkelling: A trip to the beach may appear to be the perfect date on a scorching summer�s day � until you find yourself squeezed between the seventy-year-old nudist couple and the squealing hoard of kids. Why not grab a snorkel and head to a secluded beach instead? Tip: Double your brownie points by bringing along a picnic basket filled with gourmet sandwiches, chocolates and champagne!

Wine Tasting: Take a relaxing country drive to your local vineyard for some wine and cheese tasting. The drive will give you a chance to get to know each other, while the wine will help calm any first date jitters.

Stand-up Comedy Show: This is a great one to break the ice � a guaranteed barrel-of-laughs, without any pressure on you to crack the jokes!

Zoo: Remember the thrill when you were a kid of an excursion to the zoo. The excitement of cuddling a koala, sniggering at the seal show, and going bananas with the chimpanzees. I have news for you �the zoo is JUST as much fun as an adult!

If you make it to your tenth date� you�re on your own! Remember to relax and just have fun. It�s not like your life hangs in the balance (only your relationship!)
