What are good places/ideas to go on a date for teens?

1. Can you drive? If yes, maybe do a restaurant hop, where you each pick out three favorite dishes or apps or desserts at three different places, and go on a tour sharing your favorite thing from various places around town. You could even try to plot your course around town together, and it would give you a chance to see how well you can work together to plan and execute said plan together

2. >Arcades, parks, skating etc.. Is something neither of us like so that goes off the list.

   A list of something you both like would be helpful

3. >Arcades, parks, skating etc.

   I love how you put “etc.” like these obviously all fall into the same category. 😂

4. The play was always mini-golf and then ice cream when I was that age.

5. How much pocket money do you have? That’s the main limiter. Otherwise, the suggestions are the same as for adults – basically anything you can think of and you both like.

6. A food date on a second date is not a bad idea. You know each other more and have more to talk about.

7. Wanna be impressive? Get a picnic type basket together of stuff she’s told you she likes. Fav meal, fav candy, fav drink, maybe have a playlist of some songs she likes. Then go and get like a blanket and look at the stars somewhere and talk. Really get to know her. That’s why people say the movies are a bad idea. Don’t really get to talk any. This allows y’all to connect and also show that you pay attention to her

8. Mini Golf!

   You get to talk, goof around, a little fun competition and banter.

9. Do you live near a city? Zoos, aquariums , museums?

10. If you have a mall nearby, that was always the go-to when I was in high school. Walking around window shopping, going to the food court, all that good stuff. Plus if either of you have parents who worry about you dating, it’s a warm, well lit public space with security.

    Also for what it’s worth, movies aren’t bad for a first date if you know the person a little already. My parents went to a movie for their first date, and so did me and my wife.

11. Hiking is always fun if you’re both into that. You could also cook dinner for her at your house.

12. Is there a pond or lake where you can feed ducks?

13. The mall

14. Mall/ fun center. Places with an arcade like bowling, go carting, or an escape room. There a ton of public events if you live in a city, like night markets, food festivals, or conventions.

15. Spencer’s store at the mall

16. Don’t forget museums and art galleries.

    Whatever is unique in your area. Picnic at sunset or some place with a nice view.

17. Based on my experience: In N out, and the gym. Sucks for me, but they seem to be happy

18. Bowling alley or pool hall, little competition. Can be intimate depending on the situation

19. My first dates with my boyfriend in high school consisted of hiking, looking around in bookstores, bike rides, I invited him along to a friend’s party, and we went out for dinners and ice cream and such. You guys can cook or bake something together, maybe play video games/board games, peruse thrift stores, paint together, go to a museum, or see if there are any local events going on like farmers’ markets or something like that. Just have fun and get creative <3

20. Bowling is a good time

21. Movies are still a good teen date night.
