Janna Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 We were asked to go on a double date. The couple that asked us is fairly new to our area - they moved here in late September. Because dh and I rarely go out, we don't know of any place to suggest. We don't know these people *super* well yet, though we know them fairly well (they are in our life group at church). If you lived in a well populated city, or on the outskirts of one, what would you do? I am hesitant to suggest something artsy for this first time out together (though I would *love* to go to the symphony!), but I wouldn't be super opposed to it either. Dinner is a given, but there's got to be something really *fun* we could do (it was suggested we go to a kareoke bar, but I have already stated that lots and lots of alcohol would have to be involved for me to do that, LOL).

happi duck Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 With other couples, we prefer activities that allow for talking so we tend to not choose performances. The bowling idea above would be good, IMHO. Depending on the time of day, we've had great fun going to museums, zoos, aquariums or hikes. (Somtimes with dinner or coffee afterwards.) This gives plenty of time to talk but also provides something to talk about if there's a lull. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougarmom4 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Our favorite thing is to play games & have dessert. We usually go to one house after kids are in bed, so only one couple has to get a babysitter. Sometimes we don't even get to the game--just get busy talking and laughing and getting to know each other...and then the night is over!
