Go to dinner at one of those mystery theater dinner restaurants. It’s a great way to move past those first date jitters because the group setting is very relaxed and if the conversation is lagging a little, watching the interactive theater play can take some of the pressure off. Along similar lines, you can do the classic dinner and a movie. Make sure you spend quality time at the dinner, though, because this is one of your initial dates and you need to have some communication, not just watch a movie. Maybe go out for ice cream after the movie.
If you’re both avid readers, check out the local events and attend a book reading or poetry night. If you can’t find any such events, go to your local bookstore with a coffee shop and spend some time talking over coffee. You’ll both be in an atmosphere that you enjoy and this will make you two more relaxed.
If you’re into the outdoors, go for a hike on a nature trail or a walk along the beach. Walk through the historic district in town and go window-shopping. Or check out the local farmer’s market or winery. There are so many things and sites to see outdoors. Many local historic sites are free to get into and only request a donation. Even some museums have donation only days on Sundays or another day during the week.
As a mature single, you have some good life experience. If you are both near the same ages, take a trip down memory lane and stay home and bring out the popcorn and watch some old movies. If you’re the get up and go type, go out dancing or take a dance class together; that could be very fun and you’ll get to know each other well in the process.
Whatever you decide to do, know that even though you’re a mature single, you can still go out and have fun with the best of them. If you’re planning the date together, come up with a list of things you’ve both always wanted to do and then start going out and doing them, checking them off your list as you go. If you’re the one planning the date, try to get a feel for what your new date likes and what his or her interests are and then surprise your date with that special outing that you think he or she would really like.
If you’re still looking to find that special someone, check out maturesinglesonly.com and allow a professional online matchmaking service to help you find a love.
