The 5 Best First Dates Spot for Anyone Who Has NEVER Been on One
Almost always, first dates will be nerve-racking, but it's a different beast when you've never had a romantic outing with anyone. There isn't anything that can prepare you for those butterflies you may feel.
That said, some dates can feel more stressful than others. For example, if you opt for dinner, you might feel trapped, especially when you don't feel a spark, because it can last more than an hour.
To help ease the nerves on your very first date in life, consider using one of these locations that leave little to no room for awkward tension or anxiety.
Café
You can never go wrong with a café on the first date. Regardless of who's paying, it's a cheap option for everyone. And these days, going to a café isn't as boring as picking up a cup of coffee. You can find something to tailor to your interests, whether a pop culture-themed shop or one with cats running around.

Farmers Market
Sometimes, it's nice to walk around and just talk to each other. One easy way to do so is by visiting your local farmers market. The best part about it? It's super low stakes. You don't have to worry about paying for each other's items, and you can leave at any point—five minutes or six hours later.

Ice Cream
One of our go-to date ideas is meeting up for ice cream. It feels more fun and lighthearted than coffee, and who doesn't enjoy having a sugary sweet treat? Our pro-tip is choosing this location during the sunset. It feels more romantic. Plus, you can easily leave after eating your ice cream or say it's close to bedtime.

Movie Theater
We don't typically suggest movie theaters for a first date because you don't have the chance to talk to each other, but if you're feeling super nervous, that may be perfect. It's nice to establish that level of comfort in their presence. Then, the familiarity will make it much easier to chat during your second meeting.
Stroll Through the City
Do you have a feeling you and your date will hit it off? You can keep things spontaneous with a simple stroll through your city. First, you will do nothing but get to know each other. But if things go right, you might end up finding something else to do. Maybe you'll see an escape room that looks promising or find a cool thrift store to visit.
