Of course, you prefer to go shopping alone (not observed). But we don't necessarily talk to you about going to buy new underwear, socks or jeans with your crush.
Flea markets, street parties, dusty antique shops and crazy designer boutiques, shopping can be more than just chasing after your next outfit.

Beer, wine, prosecco or cocktail – there is something alcoholic at the start of almost all evening meetings, whatever the variant.
Mae how about refining it a bit? For example, by participating in a wine tasting or whiskey tasting with your date.
Alcohol (in moderation, always) ensures and relaxed conversation. Be careful not to finish completely tipsy: you want to remember your first appointment the next day.

The advantages: a blanket, lots of goodies, a bottle of wine, a candle and a charming person by your side. A sunset will make it all madly romantic and you can relax and get closer.
The perfect place ? A park, but maybe one of you has access to the roof of a house or a large garden. Even better: a picnic at the beach, by the sea or by a lake.

Play tourists in your own city.
Whether it is a visit to the port by boat, a scary night tour through the catacombs, a visit to the best graffiti in the city or a sightseeing tour sitting comfortably in a bus, you will surely enjoy the moment.
It is precisely because you are at home here that none of you surely thought of participating in such a tour in your own city.
5. Idea for the first date: the classic with a twist
The classic: first a visit to the cinema followed by a romantic candlelit dinner.
So far, so good. But even this kind of meeting, which would not be so popular if it were not ideal for getting to know each other, can be a little neat.
First: don't choose a traditional cinema, but an old historic cinema with soft velvet armchairs (better still sofas) or a luxury cinema with reclining armchairs.
Second: food. You can ask your crush what he / she particularly likes to eat and what he / she doesn't like. But wouldn't it be ten times better to ask him what he / she has never eaten? Japanese, Vietnamese, Ethiopian?
Forget the boring star restaurant. Unearth a quirky and quirky little restaurant that your crush will not soon forget.
6. First date: go see an exhibition
You and your date between Picasso, van Gogh & co? Why not. Many museums and galleries are also open in the evening. Be careful, we are not talking about a long, long and wide crossing of the Louvre. In which case, this first meeting with cultural accents will take the form of a boring school trip.

Old dances in particular can make for a wonderfully entertaining evening.
A fiery salsa, a romantic waltz or a wild rock'n'roll? It is best to do a test lesson together and learn a dance style that you do not yet know.
9. Idea for the first date: bowling
Yes, bowling is also a classic among dates. But that's exactly what makes it extremely charming.
You suck at bowling? No problem. This will make the evening even more fun and cause one or two laughs.
And if you are a bowling queen, all the better, he or she will be impressed.
10. Ideas for a first date in winter
Of course, a picnic in the cold and wet lawn is good for getting closer. However, the cold season also has its charm: how about a return to childhood?
