Southern Indiana Solutions for the First Date Dilemma

There is nothing more stressful than going out on your first date. What to wear, what to say, how to act, and most importantly�where to go.
When you find yourself ready to plan the first date with that new special someone, don’t be afraid to step outside the box to show them a little more of yourself. In order to really get things off on the right foot, it’s important to be original, but most importantly, be you. Consider these options before you decide to make your next dinner reservation; it just might be something that sets the stage for a long lasting relationship.

The Interpretive Center hours are Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. This makes the perfect option for the less formal first date scenario.

Share a picnic in the park. Although it might appear to be a clichÃ?©, there are fewer things that lend to a budding romance than spending a beautiful day at your local park. Don’t forget to plan ahead and pack a lunch for the two of you to share sitting under a tree or lounging by the lake. Although as a hint, skip the bologna and go for something with a little more flair. Your local deli is the best place to prepare a ready-made lunch to go for you and your date.
Take advantage of local events. There’s always something interesting going on right underneath of your nose. Don’t forget to check your local paper, or go to www.sunnysideoflouisville.org for a full calendar of events going on in the Southern Indiana area.
Your first date should be an adventure that the two of you can share, something that will spark conversation and something that show your date a side of you that they might not otherwise get the opportunity to see. With a little careful planning, your first date is sure to be one that the two of you will remember for quite a while to come.
