The time has come to set the second that will lead to appointments three, four and potentially the rest of your life. To help you in your quest, I’ve put together all the best ideas for the second date that will guarantee you keep the momentum going. Take notes and you’ll become an ace romantic tête-à-tête.
1 – Take a boat trip
Being on the water is undeniably romantic. If you live anywhere near water, you can take a ferry, rent a rowboat or even charter a yacht for the day – go for it. Better still, try a dinner cruise. When you’re riding the waves, distractions disappear and you can really focus on your connection. If you can remember one of the sexiest things to say on a first date, you can legally become Don Juan.
2 – Create a treasure hunt
Perfect for a second meeting of the day. This activity really lets the personality shine through with patience, energy and collaboration. Set it up yourself or hire a service to do it for you. It’s one of the best second-date ideas for testing a person’s adventurous spirit.
3 – Attend a karaoke night
It may sound crazy, but give us a listen, especially if you can sing (if you can’t, you can scroll down). Find a venue that hosts a karaoke night and get started. You can each do a solo act, or join forces to form a duo. What if you don’t have any real talent? The point is to try something new.

4 –Go down hill
If you live near a mountain and love to ski or snowboard, spend an afternoon there. You’ll have plenty of time to chat while you take the chairlift, and time spent skiing on the mountain relieves the pressure of constant conversation. And sport is good for the libido.
5 – Play billiards
Head to a bar with a pool table or, better still, a pool hall, and face off, in good spirits. You’ll have the chance to be a little competitive and seductive, while chatting in a low-pressure environment.
6 – Take a paddle course
To make up for the missing adrenaline of the first date, something a little more active is usually suggested for the second date – and it should be something no one has tried yet. A paddleboarding class is always a good exercise to see how well you can synchronize.
7 – Light the flame
Head to the beach or your garden and build a bonfire together. Drink a few glasses and enjoy each other’s company, or just the two of you, what could be more relaxing?! Don’t forget that the romance factor is just one of the many amazing benefits of wine.

8 – Go swimming
If there’s a sea, ocean, lake or river nearby, head for a quick dip. If a local public pool is open after dark, swimming together at night can be super romantic and totally unexpected. It can be a beautiful moment of intimacy.
9 – Attend a conference
The good thing about this idea is that the discussion can be about absolutely anything. Especially with an intelligent, cultured woman. You may hear a speaker on a topic that may not interest you, but it creates a subsequent topic of conversation that’s about your observations and opinions, which isn’t shallow talk.
10 – Try escalation
Whether you’re a novice or a professional, there are plenty of places dedicated to this activity. For bonus points, take a course where you’ll learn how to belay and test your ability to work as part of a team.
11 – Hue dada!
Follow the trail on horseback with your date. Seeing how the person acts with animals can be instructive and, whatever your level, you can spend some time discussing something other than the day’s simple meal, like work and family.
12 – Dare to take a dance class
No matter the style, no matter the venue, no matter. Even if you’re both terrible dancers, an evening on the dance floor, whether to salsa or hip-hop, is bound to stir up emotions and fan the flames of romance.
13 – Play mini golf
This activity may take you back to childhood, but the likelihood of laughter and flirting is high.
14 – Attend an open house
Not because you’re already planning to buy a house together, but because it can be exciting to pretend that you are. It’s fun to see houses and talk about their tastes and how you like to live and what you liked or didn’t like about them.
15 – Attend a symphony or philharmonic concert , or an opera
Listening to classical music makes you feel sophisticated, and whether you like what you hear or not, you’ll have plenty to talk about afterwards.
16 – Go to a gallery opening
Museums are fun, but gallery openings tend to be more like parties. So you’ll have the chance to mingle with the crowds and have a drink while admiring the culture. A perfect subject for discussion!

17 – Gozip-lining
An optimal second date should be a bonding experience. A zip-line or accro-branch course doesn’t require either person to be super athletic, but still offers an exciting adventure to share together.
18 – Attend a party
Whether it’s your friends or hers, some would say it’s never too early to introduce someone to your circle. Seeing how she fits into your circle (or how they fit you into theirs) and handles these social gatherings can make you even more attracted to your date – or give you a clear idea that she won’t be your ideal partner.
19 – Have dinner on the roof
Dinner may seem too basic, but dinner with a view? That says it all. Find a local restaurant with a rooftop terrace and spend the evening al fresco. It’s one of the most romantic second-date ideas of all time.

20 – Take part in a burlesque show
Depending on your comfort level with bringing a little sexy into the equation, a burlesque show can be a great way to spark passion and see how open your date is to new experiences.
Now you have a few avenues to explore to charm your lady love. Of course, this list is not exhaustive and you can always try other actions. But keep in mind that these must be used to create a bond between you!
