Hey guys! I’ve been getting back into dating after 10 years (!) and I’m feeling a bit out of the loop with some things. I got onto an app, took some nice pics, did the swiping and made good chat about the things on his profile. Now we’re up to the date part and I’m feeling a bit stuck so hoping you can help!

What do you think would be a good first date experience? Also what would be a bad first date so I know what to avoid?

He’s into video games and anime but also walking and the outdoors, he’s got a puppy too so that could be fun to incorporate maybe? Or would that be too much? We live in a coastal town so the beach is an option.

Help me bros!

    Dating can be horrible and awkward, so my strategy is to do something I would enjoy even if I wasn’t on a date or if I was alone.

    Fortunately, trying new restaurants and art exhibits and things like that fall in that category. I also try not to repeat dates with different people, so even if I’m meeting for coffee, I’ll try a new coffee shop each time. Makes the whole process more fun for me and that, I think, makes it more fun for him.
