8 Easy First Date Ideas

First dates aren't all that bad.

8 Easy First Date Ideas
Taylor Knoche

One date is all it takes. (Insert Pinterest Quote.)

"Maybe it won't work out. But maybe seeing if it does will be the best adventure ever."

Honestly, you really never know what could come out of just one date. That's all it is.

Girls, I mean a date. An actual real date. Not "hmu if you wanna hang" type of thing. Like call you and ask if you're free Friday night and take you out for dinner type of date. A text at midnight asking to hang is not a date.

So here are eight fun first date ideas that could either make it or break it:

1. Putt-putt.

Who doesn't like a little competition sometimes? (It also can bring out frustration, which can be pretty entertaining especially on a first date because you know they don't want to show it, but they can't help it).

2. Ice cream.

I promise you can never go wrong with some ice cream. A girl is always in the mood for ice cream (even when she says she's not, I promise).

3. Baseball game.

It may be scorching hot, but nothing is better than a baseball game with someone you like. Make bets with each other on who will win. Makes it interesting.

4. Fishing.

It will definitely test your patience so you kind of get an idea if you really want to spend the rest of your life with that person.

5. Bowling.

When I think of bowling I think of a laid back, good time. If anyone is like me then you'll definitely see that persons competitiveness. It can even be with other people.

6. Zoo.

Animals are better than humans so why wouldn't you surround yourself with them for a day?

7. Hiking.

Adventurous, doesn't require a whole lot of athletic ability. It does require a positive attitude and water.

8. Amusement Park.

This can show a true side of a person. I went on a date once to an amusement park and during the first roller coaster I realized that the guy is scared of heights and only came because he wanted to do something fun with me (cute, I know).

These aren't super serious dates, but they are good "get to know you dates." Nothing has to be serious right now. So when you go on this date, the guy will ask you on a date, properly. He will come to the door to meet you. He won't send a text saying, "I'm here." Too many guys just disrespect this dating game anymore. They think they can get by with likes on Instagram or texting every other week only when it's right for him and he needs something. How romantic, huh?

For the guys, just ask the girl you like on a date. It can be so simple, like go getting ice cream or fishing.

And for the girls, if you like a guy go for it.

It's one date. I'm no relationship expert by no means, but I do believe the dating scene has changed and we need to get back to how it use to be.

Time is so precious and it goes by fast. I'm not saying go out and try to force something, but go have fun. If it works then it works and if it doesn't then oh well.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
