I've never actually been in a relationship, but I've been on my fair share of dates
) I live near London though so there's always stacks of stuff to do. Most of my dates were pretty cliche but they might give you some ideas:
- go to the zoo (at night time is more fun
)
- walk in the park and have a picnic together (take dogs if you have them)
- go ice skating/rollerskating together
- any interesting landmarks near you?? I went up the Shard and also to the Olympic park and Camden market
- science museum
- photography exhibition
- snowboarding lesson
- butterfly house
- if there's a show on in a local theatre, go to it together
- take him to your fave restaurant or cafe
idk how many of these you'll be able to do because I did them all in London as it's a massive city with loads to do there
tbh if you can't think of anything to do then maybe just invite him over? you can do datey things at home too like cook or bake together, play video games, or watch a film (I usually find films are nicer at home then at the cinema) You'd obviously have to wait until your dad is out because he doesn't know about your boy
Idk how helpful this will be but I hope it gives you a few ideas
) if you really don't know what to do, just go for the cinema because it's always a solid date option but make sure you sit near the back :P horror films are quite good because even if you hate watching them and get scared easily (like me) it gives you an excuse to cuddle your date which is always fun xD
Also you should definitely tell your friends before they find out by themselves because I can imagine that they will be upset/annoyed that they didn't hear it from you first. I'd talk to your boy and tell him you're worried about it, maybe he can give you some advice about how to tell them as he has been in the same position at some point before?
Best of luck and keep us updated!!
