First Date Ideas for the Terrified
Make sure you don't book a table at a steak house, when the new flame is actually a vegetarian! If you do have mutual friends or have met at work and have people in common, do ask for their advice - but not where to take your new love interest on the all-important first date.
Instead, ask them what kind of a person your adored object is, what makes him or her laugh, what do they eat for lunch, what do they do in the spare time? Getting first date ideas from the other person's list of hobbies is a good start, but don't rely on just one aspect of your chosen one's life.
Your first date should be about getting to know each other and of making the other person as relaxed in your company as possible.
The X-Factor The way we eat and what we like to eat tells us a lot about the type of person we are - both in terms of personality and the type of lover we'll make in bed.
Using sensual finger foods can be a great way to put other people at ease - it takes us back to our childhood, where we just grabbed what we liked and stuffed it into our mouths.
Letting the other person try a little of our chicken leg or slice of apple tart is a subtle way of saying, I'd really like to kiss you.
For your first date you should preferably choose a venue that will make both of you feel relaxed, perhaps a picnic at Lake Oconee might do with a nice stroll to a luscious green picnic area and a romantic stroll back at dusk.
Make the food and your location the star but don't promote yourself to stardom.
Creating a Memory Doing something together takes the strain out of your first date.
Doing a light hearted course together - perhaps a cookery lesson - is a great way to relax and getting to know the other person.
If you've heard your new love interest enjoys walking or water sports, you can take this up in your first date ideas.
Take him or her to one of Georgia's most wonderful rivers for a boating trip or hiking onshore, but be sure to take lots of pictures, so you'll have an excuse to call for a second date.
