What would be an ideal date for you?
What is a date?
DATE has two different meanings.
1. Date = the day of the month or year as specified by a number.
- What’s the date today? It’s the 16th of July.
- What date is the report due?
See our English lesson about how to say the date in English.
2. Date = a social meeting that is planned, especially between two people who might have a romantic interest or relationship.
- I really enjoyed our date last night.
- Would you like to go on a date with me?
What is a blind date?
A blind date = a social meeting between two people who have not previously met and is usually arranged by a mutual acquaintance or friend.
- Have you ever been on a blind date?
What are some places to go on a date?
Some typical places that people can go on a date include:
- a restaurant
- a movie
- an amusement park
- a disco / nightclub
- a picnic
- the beach
But why don’t you try something different?
Dates that involve having experiences are the most memorable. How about some these ideas:
- Go to a live performance (music)
- Take a cooking class together
- Take a pottery class.
- Do a wine and painting night.
- Go to one of those rooms where you smash things to pieces.
- Have a progressive dinner. The entree at one place, the main dish at another and the dessert at a third place.
- Take a bike ride (you can easily hire bikes)
- Go to the zoo. There will be plenty of time to talk.
