Rainy day first date ideas
It’s quite intimidating to have your first date in this weather, but I know your heart can’t wait any longer. So, let’s figure out all the date activities that can win you a second date even in this rain!
1. Plan a wine & paint night
Break the awkward silence between you guys while participating in a public activity like wine & paint. Let loose with the drink and know each other better through art and conversations.
2. Visit a pet café
A regular coffee date while looking at each other’s faces might not always work. So, let the furry friends help you get closer with their cute antiques. Your conversations will flow smoother than butter.
3. Hit up the aquarium
Zoos aren’t the best idea in the middle of a downpour, so an aquarium it is! While watching the colorful fish, indulge in a sweet conversation.
Muster your courage and hold their hands to break the touch barrier.
4. Swing at the driving range
Since the golf course is off-limits during the rain, the driving range is great to practice the sport to your hearts’ desire. It’s a great way to have relaxed conversations while having fun.
5. Binge on pizza
Nothing is more comfortable than digging in a woodfire pizza while it rains. Your date will naturally start talking about how delicious the pizza is, about their favorite foods, eateries, and so on.
6. Shoot the tension away
First dates are always nerve-wracking, so shooting can help you relax and strike conversations comfortably. If your date isn’t good at shooting, it’s a great way to get closer while teaching them.

While it’s a popular and fun outdoor game, their indoor variety fits right in for a fun rainy day date idea to get you both giggling and falling in love deeper.
8. Keep up with indoor tennis

9. Set out for high tea
Though it looks a bit feminine, it’s a lot of fun. If your date agrees, you’ll know exactly how open-minded and serious he is. Enjoy a good time with scones, sandwiches, and tea.
10. Volunteer at animal shelters
To show off your sweet and loving side on a first date, spend your date sharing love with the poor animals. By the end of the day, you’ll know each other better and get closer.

5 Tips to make your Rainy Day Date unforgettable
Before you execute a date plan, remember that a good date is all about both of your likes, interests, safety, and comfort. So, keep these basics in mind to enjoy the best date ever!
1. Take note of your partner’s health
If your partner is down with the flu or feels chilly, try to spend a good time at your home. Don’t make them take a step outside even if it’s just to the car.
You never know what might happen from slight carelessness. And if you’re sick, don’t push yourself either.
2. Pay attention to their feelings
For some people, rainy days are extremely gloomy to the point of feeling depressed. If your partner feels the same, stick to a date that will make them forget about the weather.
Have lots of warm food and don’t try to listen or watch the rain.
3. Be prepared with backup plans
If your activity is weather-dependent, i.e., it might not work with or without rain, keep a backup date activity up your sleeve.
Don’t let down your partner even if the weather doesn’t favor you. They’ll be impressed with your alertness.
4. Don’t try anything too risky
Lightning watching, storm chasing, swimming in the rain, and other such activities are quite risky if you’re not careful.
So, if the weather situation is too intense and you’re unsure whether you can deal with it, don’t try it. Cherish your life more than the thrill.
5. Always keep the essentials
Some rainy day essentials like an umbrella, raincoat, boots, blankets, and zip lock bags for your gadgets.
Carry them in your bags because you never know how your situation might turn out. Your vigilance will make this date the best ever for your partner.
A word from ThePleasantRelationship
Before you plan the date, make sure you have your partner’s consent, especially if you recently started dating.
If they refuse you, don’t try to convince them or make them feel bad for turning you down. Instead, ask them to plan the next date.
But if they’re more than delighted to join you, give it your best shot to make it memorable and express your feelings.
I hope your love becomes even stronger this rainy season!
