Dating Site ReviewsHalloween is a great time for a First Date or Any Date
If you've been thinking about meeting up with someone from an online dating site, Halloween can seem like a good night to avoid. First dates can be awkward enough without having to dress up in funny clothes and wear strange, sticky makeup.
But the beauty of Halloween that makes it perfect for a first date is that everyone is feeling silly and out of their element. Instead of having to dress to impress your date within the confines of normal day-to-day, you can put on a funny Halloween costume and be sure to fit in and be accepted! Halloween is the best holiday to go on a first date, or any date really! Here are a few things to make your Halloween first date even more memorable.
Pick the perfect Halloween costume for your first date! While it's hard to go wrong with any costume (short of no costume) on Halloween, for a first date I would avoid any gross Halloween costumes. No one wants to see vomit or tons of blood on their first date, Halloween or not! When choosing a Halloween costume for a first date, the best routes to go are either something funny or something a bit sexy (but not too sexy, and for goodness sake men don't dress up as the stupid pimp with the velvet jacket. It's been done a million times, and no, it isn't cool!). A funny Halloween costume will immediately show a sense of humor to your date. A sexy Halloween costume kind of speaks for itself, don't you think?
Bring a hokey Halloween gesture for your date. There's no avoiding the fact that Halloween, as we now celebrate it, is a cheesy kind of holiday. Now don't get me wrong; I love Halloween, but it's still true. So, for your first date, instead of fighting the cheesy nature of Halloween play into it. Bring your first date some orange and black flowers, or perhaps a black cat or ghost stuffed animal. Or how bringing your date a plastic pumpkin with candy in it? Believe me, these Halloween gestures are a perfect way to start your first date!
Plan a fun Halloween activity on your first date. Besides the obvious Halloween parties, at a friend's house or a local bar, there are other festive Halloween activities to do on your first date. Many cities offer tours of the city where they point out local ghosts and murders. It's not meant to be scary, just fun. Another fun Halloween first date would simply be to get together and carve pumpkins before heading out to dinner or a party. Speaking of dinner, many restaurants feature a Halloween themed meal with pumpkin soup and chocolate spider web martinis. Your first date is sure to be frightfully good! (Oh no, I didn't just say that!).
