The location you pick sets the tone for your date. Unless you already know what kind of activities your partner prefers, it's best to choose a neutral, low-pressure place where you can focus on getting to know each other and finding out how well you connect.
Here's how you can choose the best location for your date.
1. Pick a place that's easy to find and reach.
When you meet someone for the first time, you usually don't want to travel too far from home. Do not deal with bad traffic and difficult parking at this precious time - there's nothing worse than arriving to meet someone lately.
Make sure the location you agree on is reasonably the same for both parties, easy to find, and if you're driving, check out if there are plenty of parking options nearby.
2. Look for a lovely Atmosphere.
The atmosphere is everything when it comes to choosing a date place; You want a good, festive white sound to break any lulls in the conversation, while also making sure you can still hear each other easily on any background music. Pick somewhere with a funky background soundtrack and the prospect for a band later. That way, you can still talk to each other over the music, and not be afraid of annoying silence. Once the band kicks off, you can decide if you want to stay or go.
3. Take Recommendations
Talk to your friends about their favourite locations, but make sure they don't come there at night. Also, take time to look at online reviews rather than just looking at the stars. Most people are willing to share information hidden in reviews such as happy hour time, favourite live entertainment and quirky off-menu items.
4. Make RESERVATION
Don't be a person going to a restaurant on Sunday night at 8:00 assuming you will automatically get a table for two. Call ahead and see if you can book a reservation - more secure than sorry!
5. Make sure that the price is right.
"If you're on a two-star budget, don't choose a five-star restaurant," said Karenlee Poter, host and author of the Internet Talk show.
Please don't feel pressured to take them to a place where your credit card balance will go negative.
6. Be open about what food you both would like to try.
The conversation is the key when it comes to choosing the type of meal you two would like to try. Be open about what food you both would like to try. Remember the allergies and dietary restrictions of your partner so, it becomes easy for you to choose food.
