6 extraordinary, perfect places for the first date: Our ideas

"Live on air and love." "Where love falls." Or "Those who love each other tease each other." There are many sayings about the greatest feeling of humanity. And when two people fall in love, it is always an exciting thing. But in order for the tender plant of affection to become real passion, a lot of investment in love must first be made. And the so-called "dates" have now spread from the English-American cultural sphere to the German-speaking world. Basically, they are nothing more than appointments to consciously create time for the two of you. But the question is: where should the first date take place? Sure, there are the classics like a restaurant or a cinema, but if you want to offer your loved one something special, you'll want something out of the ordinary. We've collected seven ideas for perfect places for dates far away from the mainstream.

Escape Room

This place is perfect for anyone who loves adventure. In an "escape game" you are locked in a room and have to follow clues, decipher codes or answer questions to find your way out. Solving puzzles together brings people together - and you can test the problem-solving skills of the person you're playing with. In addition, such a venture provides plenty of material for conversation.

go-kart track

Would you rather step on the accelerator? Then meet up to go karting! There are now a number of varied tracks with modern electric karts, light and sound systems. They ensure a unique driving experience - and a date that you will remember for a long time. Is that a bit too fast for you? Many karting tracks also offer chill-out areas from where you can relax and watch others drive.

flea market

Nostalgics and bargain hunters alike should look for the nearest flea market and take a leisurely stroll through the diverse stalls. Such markets are the ideal place to get to know each other and their preferences better in a relaxed atmosphere. And you might even find a pretty picture frame for one of your first photos together.

hammock

Would you rather focus on cuddling and talking, but the sofa is too boring for you? Then off to the hammock! The gentle rocking will benefit you because it creates a feeling of security. If you like, you can combine the cuddling time with culinary highlights or entertaining games. And the perfect picnic is ready. We designed our CHICO hammocks precisely for such leisure hours for two - you can choose between single and double hammocks.

Dinner in the Dark

Fine dining is always a good idea, right? But it's also kind of boring. So how about an upgrade? At "Dinner in the Dark" you concentrate much more on tasting, feeling and hearing - an exciting experience that is guaranteed to create excitement.

ice rink

If the first date takes place in winter, ice rinks are a good place to meet. Whether you're just trying your first turns on ice skates or are already working on your technique, fun and action are guaranteed. Some ice rinks even hold ice discos - if you love dancing, this is the perfect option. And if you visit the rink during Advent, you can combine the trip with a visit to a Christmas market. It doesn't get much more romantic than that!

Nurturing the Plant Called Love

Whether it's a go-kart track or a hammock - it's important that the location for the first date evokes positive feelings in you. If you have doubts, swap the location for another one. If the date is outside, be sure to check the weather in advance. And if you don't know each other very well, it's generally advisable to choose a neutral environment away from home. That way, no one is immediately confronted with personal items and can decide for themselves how much they want to reveal. Last but not least, first dates are wonderful for getting closer and giving the little plant called love a growth spurt. But the plant also needs regular care later on so that it doesn't wither. That's why you should continue to make enough time for each other. For dates away from everyday life. For moments that get under your skin. For your individual love story.
