The Second Date: Best Date Ideas & Dating Tips

It’s often said that before the first drink is served on the very first date, a man has made up his mind whether he is going out with this person again, on a date. So if you are on your second date, probably your partner had decided to do so long before. Second dates are different from the first one’s in the sense that you can relax a little because you have already made an impression on your partner. On the first date you have come to know what sort of person she is. You can plan the venue accordingly. If she is a person who would likes outdoors, an amusement park would be a great idea. Both of you can bring out the child within you. You could even take her to the local flea or antique market. If she is a sports buff you could take her to a bar where both of you could watch a match together. This could create spontaneous moments of joy.

You could go bowling where you can have friendly competition (remember don’t get too competitive…or best avoid if you are a Monica Geller and can’t avoid getting competitive).You could even go ice skating which creates plenty of opportunities for you to hold hands.

If you or your date were a little shy and did not get much to know about each other in the first date, plan a visit to her to a place where both of you can do things together. In this way you get to know each other as you are involved in some kind of activity, maybe horse riding or even some pottery class. But be careful the activity shouldn’t be such that both would be completely engrossed and there is hardly time to talk to each other.

Although it’s good to know as much as you can about your date, leave room for the enigma factor. Women should especially be careful about this. Plan accordingly. You could meet up on lunchtime on a Saturday or Sunday when you lunch and then walk to the nearby book store or even stroll to the beach or park. Try and create opportunities for the both of you to hold hands or if lucky, even a small first kiss.

If you prefer a quiet dinner with good music and wine to accompany you, ensure that there is a good conversation. There are a few topics that you should absolutely stay away from. As a general rule steer clear of topics that would make a person emotional. Politics, religion, past relationships are forbidden. Also make sure you don’t talk too much about yourself. There might be things you would not want to tell on your first date and would have lied about .If you are going to speak too much on your second, you might forget about the lie which you told in the first date, making you look like a big liar.

It is advisable that women ask the venue for the date, so that she could dress accordingly. It really isn’t funny when you turn up in your designer best when your date has planned a fun sport or even an afternoon at a football match. Also make sure to wear what you are comfortable with or else you would spend the entire evening concentrating on your dress and haven’t made a proper conversation.

Remember a successful second date could pave the way for a successful relationship.
