Fun Date Ideas!

Going on dates in London can get pretty boring pretty quick if your idea of a date is dinner or drinks. There’s only so much you can learn about someone by the personality they set up for the first date you go on. So, it’s time to break out of that rut you know, the museums and brunch can be great too but it’s still not what we’re aiming for. You may have a great time, and even better learn enough about your date on whether you want a second date or not. Get out of your comfort zone, get competitive, and creative with these three different date ideas!

Firstly, here is a great opportunity to see what your dates culinary skills are like. Are you the type that can barely boil pasta, or are you the next contestant for the Great British Bake Off? Either way you can have a great time between going through the class, enjoying the process. You may just see if they’re the type to get just a bit frustrated when you make a mess of the counter as well. Seen as dating is a way to see if you like someone, we’re jumping to the hypothetical of “we’re ten years down the line cooking for a dinner party, how will we handle this?” A big jump forward we know, but we think it’s a good way of working things out. The best part about all of this, is that at the end you can sit down and see just how good your food and their food is. See who’s better at making the starters and who’s best at desserts!

Next onto a pretty fun one, that can get just as competitive but nowhere near as messy. We’re heading down to mini golf! There are so many fun crazy golf courses dotted around London, and a lot of them you can also get drinks at, so it may get a bit messy after all. You get to jump straight in with your date, and see how competitive they can really get, or just how bad they are at golf. Any of the mini golf places around London have courses with loops and drops, so you can see how their critical thinking goes when it comes to getting that hole in one. You may have thought we weren’t thinking ahead with crazy golf but it shows just as much potential as the cooking class seen as you can see how fun they really are to hang out with, and igf you’re planning on hanging out with one person for the rest of your life, you surely want to have a laugh with them!

Finally we’re heading over to something truly creative that takes a lot of skill and talent to perfect. Over at some evening pottery classes you can show your date that you can replicate the exact same bowl you made when you were five years old, because honestly, you never got any better at making a perfect vase so you settled for a wonky bowl. Another great part of this date, is that you get to keep what you make afterwards, so if the date goes well, and the bowl does too, ten years down the line you can use it in your kitchen. Then when your kids ask where you got that weird shaped bowl you can tell them the story of your first date!

Like we said, we really do like jumping ahead with our date ideas, what’;s the point of a date if you’re not going to test whether they could be your future partner or not, right? So we hope you can use these date ideas to your advantage and have some great nights!
