Hi ladies! I’m going on a first date soon (my first one in two years since my ex!) and he suggested a hike cause of covid. Besides my normal nerves cause it’s a first date, I’m nervous about the hike. I’m not in the best shape and my skin isn’t looking too good so it’ll be hard to not wear makeup and not act out of breath haha. Any advice??

Maybe suggest an easy one? & also one popular if you’ve never met or talked much!

@smurfette74 maybe suggest something less intense ? Like a walk? It sounds strange to me to pick a hike as a first date activity cause it so intense, and the whole point of a date is to talk and find out stuff about each other. I would honestly just tell him I’d love to go on one at some point, but would rather go for something that allows for more comfortable communication for the first date.

Meet at a park as a first date

Is the hike a busy trail? I’d want to make sure I’m meeting someone for the first time somewhere public where I feel safe, but also if you don’t feel like doing one that seems difficult, just tell him and see if he has another suggestion. Go for ice cream and a walk, or a park as mentioned.
