There is nothing like that feeling of excitement and butterflies when you meet someone special through your matchmaker service. Perhaps you have been chatting via email for a while and are finally planning to meet, or maybe you felt a connection straight away. Whatever the case, planning your first date is something that you should think carefully about to ensure that you set the tone and get that all important second date.
Some tips for planning your matchmaker date include the following:
- Keep it simple – while you may be tempted to go all out and plan a romantic candlelit dinner for two, first dates should be kept as simple as possible. The best plan is to do something casual such as have coffee at a nearby coffee shop during the day, and for safety's sake it is best to avoid drinking and stick to public places.
- Visit your local zoo – for a fun alternative, plan an outing to the zoo for your first matchmaker date. This is an ideal public place to walk and talk, allowing you to get to know one another in the relaxed setting of the zoo. Seeing animals and learning more about the world also creates a shared experience, which will help you bond with your potential love interest.
- Visit the theme park – if you have a theme park in your area, then this will also make for a more adventurous date. Trying thrilling new rides together will bring you closer, and if you are lucky you may even get to win a prize or have one won for you. Walking around eating cotton candy and taking in the sights is also a great way to build a connection.
- Picnic at the botanical gardens or park – a relaxed picnic at your local botanical gardens or park is another great date idea. While still being in a public place, you can have your own picnic area to provide a bit of privacy. Pack delicious food and a big blanket, and even a deck of cards to play Rummy or other games. Binoculars are another great item to bring, to spot birds in the garden.
- Try a craft or cooking class – if you have developed a relationship before meeting, and want to try something that will help you build this relationship, a class taken together offers a great way to bond. Whether it's a cooking class, sushi class or even a fun craft class, you will be able to get to know each other in a different setting, to learn together and share your experiences.
- Craft market – as another great way to walk and talk in a relaxed venue is to visit a local craft market. Here you can browse stalls, try food and treats and share your interests in a less demanding setting. Often, one-on-one dates where you have no distractions can be daunting, but with a craft market you have the chance to hold hands and talk without pressure.
- Museum or art gallery – adding some culture into your date is a great way to start discussions on favourite artists or cultural influences, while being able to stroll around at leisure. Learning together is a great way to bond, and with a lot to talk about if you get tongue-tied, you will soon find yourself relaxing and enjoying yourself on your matchmaker date.
