Where To Go On The First Date

Choosing to do an activity or class fora first date may sound like a bold move but if its done correctly it can be theperfect choice for those of us who get a little self conscious when we firstmeet someone.

‍

The pressure we put upon ourselvesto give a great first impression is greatly reduced because the activity orclass creates just the right amount of distraction in order to take the focusof our every word or action, reducing the chances of you experiencing self-conscious thoughts or anxious behaviours. Helping you to feel calmer, more confident and able to give a great first impression effortlessly, allowing a far greater chance of makinga genuine connection with your date.

Not all couples activities andclasses are suitable for a first date. Whatever class or activity you choose you must remember that in order for it to be a success it needs to serve just threepurposes in a first date scenario. 

‍

"No.1 It needs to be fun. No.2 It must allow interaction, and. No.3 It needs to create just the right amount of distraction to put you both atease".

‍

It is also important for you to remember that It doesn’t need to be something you are good at, if you are goodat it you must avoid the temptation to show off or to take it to seriously. Youshould choose something that you can both enjoy equally and you should avoid choosing something obvious,mundane or predictable. You don’t want to end up unintentionally sabotagingyour changes of connecting with someone very special because you felt the need to show off or came across as a bit of a bore by opting for the safe option.

If are thinking like this selectionprocess is becoming overly laboured please remember that explaining how to makethe perfect choice seems far more complicated than actually putting it intoaction. We have also taken into account the effects different environments andactivities have on our emotional responses and our general outlook on things.

"This has helpedus to identify the perfect first date scenario on your behalf". 

No matter how musically challengedyou or your date maybe choosing an activity or class involving music is an idealchoice for a first date because music is very effective at helping people feel emotionally connect with eachother. You only have to go to any busy live music performance to see evidence of this.Neuroimaging studies have shown that music activates the parts of the braintypically associated with emotions as well as boosting your bodies’ naturalproduction of dopamine and oxytocin. Dopamine is a chemical that’s releasednaturally in the , improving your mood, feelings of reward and motivation.Oxytocin is referred to in the scientific community as the bonding chemical orthe love hormone because of the role it plays at cultivating intimaterelationships.These effects are only heightened when we are making music with others; so imaginethe possibilities in a first date scenario. When people coordinate the making of music with one another, small neuro-networks throughout the brain and, remarkably, between each other’s brains areformed. This is especially the case when you and your partner make musictogether that needs to be precisely aligned in time, for example beat matchinga record together when DJing. In that moment your brains become one through the power of making music together. This buzz of neurological activity within andbetween you and your date can be achieved by simply taking a couple DJ lessontogether. Imagine that moment where you manage to produce a really sick sound together, that feeling of achieving something special together that you can record and keep. Reminiscent of an old school mix tape. This all makes for a pretty cool first date.
