The Top 6 Date Tips For The Winter
Summer is the time for flings, but winter is full of opportunities for dates that will literally warm your heart. It’s even statistically the busiest time for dating apps (read about “Dating Sunday” here), so singles are just waiting for the chance to flirt with you in the bracing winter air.
At The Inner Circle, our whole app is about getting people off their phones and dating in real life. With detailed profiles, in app date-spot suggestions, and every profile being manually screened for catfishers and time wasters, you won’t struggle for date inspiration (datespiration?). But to give you a helping hand, here are our top 6 date tips for this winter:
1) Festive Markets
The perfect activity for the season, with sweet foods and mulled wine/Glühwein (depending on your flavour of market!), a festive market is a novel way to spend some quality time.
2) Ice Skating
It’s the perfect winter activity, which easily becomes the perfect winter date. It gets the heart racing, and even if you can’t ice skate it’s the perfect opportunity to learn a skill! A couple that learns together, stays together (plus nothing establishes a bond like embarrassing yourself together).
3) Watch some Winter Sports
Leading on nicely from ice skating, if you’re lucky enough to live near a permanent ice rink it’s peak Ice Hockey season! An entertaining game to watch even if you’re new to it, watching a winter sport is a great way to break out of your mold and do something new together.
4) See a movie (out or at home)
When it’s cold and miserable outside, it can feel like all you want to do is curl up in the dark with a film, so why not do it together! Cuddling on the sofa is never a bad date idea, and there’s no feeling quite like going in to the cinema in the day and coming out at night feeling cosy and entertained.
5) Find a cosy cafe
Winter is the season to be cosy, so find a cute cafe nearby with some big sofas and general “hygge” vibes and share a hot drink and a cake with someone. It may seem like a pretty basic choice, but the feeling you get when you’re comfortable with someone is anything but basic.
6) Bake Together
It’s an adorable festive bonding activity, with the added bonus of you end up with a sweet treat afterwards! There are no downsides to making your home smell of cinnamon and having a flirt at the same time, apart from deciding who has to clean up afterwards.
