Many people take to the indoors during the winter time, but what if you are tired of being cooped up? Consider having your first date outdoors. Just because it is cold outside, doesn’t mean you have to stay in. You can still have a tremendous amount of fun outside. Before you know it, you realize you don’t even notice the cold anymore.

Ice Skating

Ice skating is always a popular activity during the winter months. What better way to enjoy this activity than with a date. This allows you the freedom of conversation to get to know each other without seeming to awkward. On the other hand if you really like the person, this is a good time to be a little clumsy as an excuse to fall into each others’ arms.

Skiing

Skiing is another popular outdoor winter activity. Many couples take weekend trips to ski lodges. However, for the first date a weekend away may not be the appropriate thing to do. Consider a just a day of skiing. It still holds the romantic factor as you get to know each other without any false expectations attached. If skiing isn’t your thing, consider snowboarding instead.

Sledding

Perhaps you don’t have an outdoor ice skating rink or a ski lodge close by but you have plenty of snow to build an army of snowmen. What better way to get close and personal with your date than sharing a sled. If you aren’t ready to get that close yet, use two sleds. Regardless, you are bound to have some winter fun while breaking the ice.

Play in the Snow

Playing in the snow is a great way to show the fun side of your personality. Build a snow fort or a snow man together. Have a snowball fight. The winner has to buy the loser a cup of hot cocoa. This outdoor winter activity leaves the awkwardness of keeping the conversation going with some whimsical winter fun.

Campfire

Consider renting a campground spot. Be sure to grab some blankets. You and your date could enjoy making s’mores and drinking hot cocoa by a campfire. This allows for some good conversation while you cuddle by the fire. If you can’t rent a campground, consider doing this by an outdoor fire pit.

Horse Draw Carriage Ride

What is more romantic than a horse drawn carriage ride? If available in your town, consider taking a ride or two in this fairy tale setting. It allows you to have great conversation to get to know each other without interruption. It will also create one of the most memorable dates yet. Of course, topping this for the second date is going to take some
