Where to Take Someone on a First Date, Based on Their Zodiac Sign
When you really like someone, deciding where to go on your very first date can be quite a challenge.
There's a delicate balance between picking something too out there and doing something that feels like a boring cliché, while still ensuring that you both enjoy yourselves. Lucky for all of us, their zodiac sign can give us some hints about the types of dates they might enjoy, and we've gathered all of the best ideas below.
Aries (March 21 – April 19): Bounce Around at a Trampoline Park
As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries always want to be first. They're active go-getters who can't stand staying still for too long, which is why an adventurous and physically engaging first date, like one at a trampoline park, is sure to get their heart pumping and put a smile on their face. Just make sure you can keep up!

Taurus (April 20 – May 20): Take a Cooking Class
Tauruses are more likely to be homebodies. They're loyal and dependable, and tend to have an eye for the finer things in life, whether that's nice clothes and jewelry, or elegant meals. A cooking glass is a great first date for foodie Tauruses since they love great food, and it's a chance not just to help them to hone their skills, but to show off your own. After all, a way to a Taurus's heart is through their stomach.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22): Spend Time in a Zen Garden
Cancers, on the other hand, can be sensitive, yet quite guarded. Rather than something that might be overwhelming or overstimulating, an ideal date should be something that can help them declutter their minds and focus on the present, such as a trip to a zen garden. Plan for a bit of rest and relaxation, and try meditating together afterward to take that calm even further.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22): Sing Karaoke
If Leos are known for one thing, it's that they love being the star of the show, and no date gives them the opportunity to shine quite like a karaoke session. Even the most inhibited Leos will find their inner lions as they belt out their favorite tunes, and you can show them how fun you are, too, by joining in.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22): Share a Book Store Date
Virgo is perhaps the most studious sign of the zodiac, and most tend to be avid readers who love the written word. Take them on a book store date and they'll be right at home, whether you decide to hunt together for a book for you to both read and discuss, book club-style, or you each seek out the perfect books to gift each other.

Libra (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22): Go on a Picnic
Libras are known for being kind and idealistic, as well as a bit indecisive, so go ahead and pick the date for them in the form of a nice picnic. The best part is that neither of you even has to prep a fancy basket. Lean into not having to choose and grab a smorgasbord of items from your favorite fast food joints, or even the convenience store, and enjoy them under the sun in the most beautiful park in town for one unforgettable experience.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21): Check Out Live Music
Scorpios have a reputation for not opening up so easily, which is why you might not want to jump into a hyper-personal one-on-one first date, and instead share an experience that will bring the both of your closer together, like a concert. Whether that's a huge pop artist, an orchestra or just a local artist at the park, music has a way of connecting people and speaking to the soul—so you'll hopefully get that second date with Scorpio.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21): Get Competitive at the Arcade
Sagittariuses love a bit of friendly competition, which is why gaming is a great way to bond with them. Sure, you can always play games at home on the couch, but there's something special about the noise and atmosphere at an arcade that makes the thrills even more fun, bringing out the best in Sag.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19): Browse an Art Gallery
Capricorns are known for being bright as well as quite traditional, and a great way to impress their old souls is with a trip to a local art gallery. Capricorns love both the aesthetics of great art and being able to learn the history of pieces and the artists who brought them to life, making this an intellectually stimulating trek for the both of you.
