Fun & Clean Date Ideas
An increasing number of daters are realizing that having a great time on a date and respecting your date's boundaries as well as your own are not mutually exclusive. Whether for religious or other personal reasons, try these ideas for some good clean fun on a date.
-
Communication
-
It is always appropriate to communicate to your date what you're expecting out of your time together. To be sure that your date is on the same page about the level and types of intimacy you're currently comfortable with, just let him know; it might keep you out of a sticky situation later.
Daylight
-
No matter what the activity, one of the easiest ways to make your date and you comfortable that things are going to stay above board is by spending time together in the daylight (or a well-lit place). A dark movie theater or walk late at night might be romantic, but it might give her the wrong idea about your intentions.
-
Public
-
The other best way to keep yourselves on track for a fun, clean date is to keep it public. If there are plenty of people around, you signal to each other that no swift moves are going to be made.
Coffee
-
Coffee is a classic first date for a reason. It gives you the chance to sip something while you get to know who the other person is. Coffee shops provide a great place to stimulate conversation, and there's always refills or maybe a walk after if it's going well.
Parks
-
For the more outdoorsy pair, parks let you interact with each other in the beauty of nature. You can take a stroll through an arboretum, dip your feet in a stream, or have a picnic on the grass.
Volunteering
-
The service-oriented coupling might have a great time volunteering together, such as at a soup kitchen or hospital. This keeps you busy with a task you both believe in while giving you an extended stretch of time to interact with each other.
