The first date is always difficult for most people after online dating because although you know this person a little, you do not know what to expect. The best thing you can do for yourself is to make sure that you create a fantastic date.

There are many ways to make sure your first date wonderful; here are 9 creative formulas for a fantastic date:

  1. Go someplace fun. The first date is a time to get to know each other. Going out for coffee or a nice lunch is a great idea for online dating. This can be at a theme restaurant for more fun.
  2. Help your date feel comfortable. Since both of you will be nervous upon first meeting find something you like about the person right away from the profile or what they are wearing. Compliment them or ask more information.
  3. Be on your best behavior. This is a time to bring out your best manners. Saying “thanks for the date” is a good thing to do and using “please” and “thank-you” also works.
  4. Go to someplace fun. There are a lot of places that have video games or other activities that are combined with lunch or dinner. It may be fun just to go to one of these, have fun with games and then eat afterward.
  5. Go to the zoo. This is a number one place that some couples like to go because you can stroll around together looking at the animals. If you don’t like the zoo, maybe there is another event that is similar like an outside market or an outdoor art show.
  6. Wear clothes that make you feel comfortable. Everyone thinks they should dress up for a date but the most important thing is to be comfortable. Don’t do total casual, but something in between that makes you feel good. The better you feel the more you will enjoy yourself.
  7. Take a class together. Is there something that both of you have talked about that might be a fun first date? Something that you both want to try like ballroom dancing or cooking something special? A first date can be a great place to begin.
  8. Be upbeat and positive. If you are not an upbeat and positive person practice being one, before you get to your date. This is a time for a positive personality not one that complains about past dates.
  9. Be yourself. You have a personality that everyone is dying to see so show it. Don’t’ try to be something you are not. Your personality will make or break a connection and can continue or stop your online dating.

Life is too short to bother with getting anything other than what you want. Creative ideas for dates are a good idea too. Start making a list of places you want to go or things you like to do. You will find someone in online dating who will be just as interested in your ideas and want to accompany you.
