Do you remember your first date? You were probably very excited and also a little nervous… If you are a senior, new to the dating scene, you may be even more apprehensive. The senior population is looking for great ideas for first date fun.
Enjoy a Picnic
Life over 50 doesn’t have to revolve around elderly activities. Picnics are very casual, but romantic options for a first senior date. Just pick out some of your favorite cheeses and fruits, include a nice bottle of wine, pack a picnic basket, add a blanket and voilà… you’re ready to spend a great afternoon together!
Attend a Charity Auction
For people seeking new relationships after 50, attending a local charity auction is a great first date idea. Make sure to choose a charity that you both feel passionate about. This way you can enjoy an exciting evening or afternoon together while also helping out a good cause.
Meet At a Bookstore
Local bookstores are great for senior dating because they are very informal. They will also give you an opportunity to find out more about each other. Ask questions or quiz each other about your favorite books, authors, genres, etc. If you both feel a connection, you can continue the date at a local coffee or dessert shop.
Enjoy a Wine Tasting Event
Why not attend a wine tasting event together for your first senior date? You can both relax while enjoying some great wine and discovering more about each other. This is much cheaper than traveling to France or Italy, but can be just as much fun if you are with the right person.
Sign Up For Sports or Dancing Lessons
If you’re an active individual, you may want to consider signing up for some salsa lessons or a tennis class at your local recreation center. This makes a great first date option for active people who want to stay fit. If you hit it off, you will also have a sports or dance partner for your new found hobby!
Visit a Local Market or Fair
Who doesn’t love a fair or farmer’s market? You may not have considered attending such an event for a first date, but it can be a lot of fun. You can spend time riding the ferris wheel together, trying your luck at some midway games or enjoying a cotton candy and pretending you’re a kid again. Another option is to choose some fresh produce from your local farmer’s market and then spend the evening cooking a nice meal together.
Dating at any age can slow mental health aging. Life for seniors can be just as exciting as when you were younger. It doesn’t require a lot of money for the active 55 couple to have a good time.
