Dating Tips

Take a walk with your date

A lot of dating ideas tend to revolve around drinking. Whilst it’s a pleasant social activity and something many people enjoy, plus it helps calm those dating nerves, you don’t always want to meet in the pub. Here are some dating ideas that don’t involve drinking alcohol, so there’s no chance of you drinking too much and embarrasing yourself!  

Spectator Sport Dates

If you’ve discovered that you and your date share a love for a certain sport, then why not arrange to get tickets to a sporting event that you’ll both enjoy?  

It’s a sure-fire way of appealing to both your interests, may well involve spending more time together than you would in a pub and is a good way to get to know someone.  

Sporting Dates

If you want to do more than just watch a sport, then you could try playing sport together. If you both love tennis or badminton, then book a court and play a game together. When you’ve thrashed each other, you can head off for a quiet coffee afterwards.  

Walking Dates

Gentle walking, or hiking for the more adventurous, is a nice way of being side by side your date, but also getting some exercise too. If you’re not doing any strenuous walking, then gently ambling in the countryside or walking by the sea provides plenty of opportunities to get to know your date.  

If you both enjoy hiking, then you could choose a route together and set off into the hills for the day. Shared activities like this can be a great way of cementing a relationship.  

Theatre Dates

For those of you that love the theatre, then a date out to see the latest play or stage musical can be most enjoyable. Although you’ll both be quiet during the play, there are lots of good opportunities to hold hands and snuggle up in the dark. Afterwards you can head off elsewhere to get to know each other better.  

Live Music Dates

If you share a love for a particular band or group, then make a date to go to a live concert together. Concerts have a great atmosphere and, when the adrenalin is flowing and you’re dancing together in a crowd, you can have a great night out – even without drinking alcohol!
