The time has come to step things up a bit. You and your most recent love interest want to see if you’re ready to take things to the next level and start an official relationship.

Therefore, it’s time to test the relationship waters, so why not try going on a weekend getaway?
If this is your first time going on a romantic getaway, you might have some alarms setting off inside your mind right now, but that’s ok. It’s natural to be worried about the little things, such as the early awkward moments that consist of odd conversations or even boredom. However, it’s important that you give it a shot. Otherwise, you may never know whether or not your companion is that ‘special someone.’
The foremost step to going on your first getaway is finding a place to go and stay. Once you figure this out, the next step is a little trickier. You might be thinking, “Ok, so what do I do from here?” Now is the time to map out what your day to day plans will be during your getaway.

Laugh at a Comedy Show
An easy way to break the ice during your first weekend getaway is taking your date to a comedy show. Most cities have at least one comedy club in or nearby them, so it shouldn’t be too hard to find one. This will be a relatively cheap date and should help break any nervous or odd tensions between the two of you. You won’t have to worry about what to talk about; just sit back and enjoy the show.
Before you pick a show to see, make sure you know what kind of humor your date is interested in. That way you’ll know what type of comedian or show to choose to see. You won’t want to offend your date by making him or her sit through an hour set, listening to an offensive comedian. After you pick a show that will be a good fit for both of your personalities, the rest will be easy. If you have nothing to talk about at first, the show will be a good way to help spark some conversations after the show. Oh yeah, and you’ll probably be smiling and laughing the whole time, which is always pleasant!
Dine At A Fun Restaurant

Not only will this be more amusing than a typical dinner date, but it will also help initiate more conversation as well as create a new bond between the both of you.
Dinner dates don’t have to be a quiet, candle lit experience all the time. You and your date will have more fun experiencing something new and different together compared doing the same old, typical steak house dinner. Here are some type of places that will make for a pleasurable dining experience:
- Themed restaurants
- Tech restaurants with touch screen tables & menus
- Theater restaurants – dinner & a show
- Hands on restaurants where you help make your own meal with the chef
