Make an Appointment [email protected]. Traditionally people have tended to make reservations at elegant restaurants, but this can lead to awkwardness if social chit-chat is not your strength.
What are you supposed to talk about? What if you use the wrong fork, spill your water, drip marinara on your white shirt, or get spinach stuck in your teeth? The more you worry about it, the less comfortable you feel making conversation. Instead of going to a restaurant, where the only entertainment is your conversation, find out what your date is interested in.
Then choose an activity you can do together related to shared interests. If you love mysteries, try an escape room. Couples who share an interest in comic books, or Star Trek, or Supernatural, can find conventions to attend together. But, what do you two have in common? One question that often comes up early in those first getting-to-know-you conversations is to talk about your pets.
Do you both have pets? What kind? What are their names? Chances are you will find that both of you are animal lovers. Here are three great places to go on a first date. One of them might be the perfect idea for you and your date. Who knows? It might become your new go-to dating spot. Many neurodivergent people love animals. Of course, so do many in the neuromajority, but the ND passion for an interest can be intense, and splendid.
If you and your date are animal lovers, there are several places in San Antonio you may want to consider for your date. A trip to the San Antonio Zoo is an ideal first date for a couple who loves animals. Conversation will come naturally as you walk and talk about the animals you see, and compare your favorites. Their Center for Conservation and Research includes projects on three continents, focusing on rare and threatened species and imperiled ecosystems. Be sure to check out any special events and shows that are available on the day of your date, as well as the beautiful Zootennial Carousel.
