Looking for a fun date alternative instead of the usual dinner-and-a-movie? Looking to be a bit more adventurous? Why not try going on a hike or bike ride for your next date! It’s interactive, gives you a great backdrop to learn about each other and plenty to talk about.
If you decide to try a hike or bike ride date, make sure you pick a trail that’s easy. Girls, PLEASE wear appropriate shoes! I know we love our heels, but you don’t want to embarrass yourself by being uncomfortable and possibly ruin a great date moment. Also, know your limits – you chose this date to have fun and get to know one another.
Choose an area with cool features like a forest, a local landmark, or a water feature such as a waterfall. You can try a hiking or bike ride date just about any time of the year which is great, and even if you live in the city, a park or other wooded area can be found around 15 miles away.
I recently went on a hiking date and it was a great experience. It really helped stir up conversation and I had an awesome time enjoying my surroundings. We hiked right around sunset, and my date brought a bottle wine for us to enjoy when we were done. Especially since we are in the midst of summer, I definitely recommend trying this date idea!
